But in Trump world...there is a good chance that Trump will still invite Erdogan. Remember Trump is convinced that he is such a great negotiator and deal maker!

And now the dumbass is taking hits from both sides. Notice that all the people speaking at the inquiry are talking for nearly 10 hours or better? Notice that Erdogan won't meet with Pence or Pompeo, basically giving them the middle finger? It won't get better for Trump, it can only get worse.

Just in: Senior US official confirms what Kurdish sources have been telling me - that Turkey is advancing on the border town of Kobani, which Erdogan promised Trump he would not attack.

After a whole lifetime of getting a free pass and skating by on his dad's power and money, lil Donnie is now having to learn the hard lessons of personal responsibility and accountability on the world stage, from callous and competitive world leaders. Erdogan is giving the finger to Trump's damage control team, trying to clean up Trump's ka-ka. And it's only right and fitting that he do so - after all, acceptance of personal responsibility is the foundation of all authentic leadership. Imagine - the whole Republican party as Trump's enablers, covering his ass, covering for someone who hasn't even learned the first and most basic principle of effective leadership! Talk about making US a laughing stock on the world stage!
