Wow Trump defends Syria withdrawal TO troops in Iraq: At surprise stop to US airbase in Iraq, Trump said because of military’s gains against ISIS, US forces can leave. He told them Erdogan told him Turkey agreed to eliminate remnants of IS in the country. apnews.com/d26d5e39327c45…
Trump’s lowered the bar so much, all he has to do is SHOW UP—literally! He showed up in Iraq but lied to our troops when he said “We’re no longer suckers…We’re respected again as a nation.” Nothing could be further from the truth. We’re a laughing stock. trib.al/1kQDkVW
Trump turned his visit to warzone in Iraq into a campaign rally. He lied to troops abt ISIS, said silly & self-serving fact-free propaganda and even signed MAGA & Trump2020 hats. “That’s not supposed to happen. A political tinge to a presidential visit,” reports @barbarastarrcnn 
Trump's visit to Iraq was a surprise. His treating troops in a war-zone like attendees at MAGA campaign rally was not. Still, it's shockingly wrong. Along w/ his usual lies, Trump lied about military pay—to make himself look good—like a dictator amassing loyalist soldiers. 👀😨👇
If Trump was finally going to visit troops, you know the photo-op was going to be his dominant concern. And it seems he may have made sure US troops were decked out to look like they were from "central casting" for the image obsessed reality TV fake president. Check this out👇

"Visiting the troops is great. Lying to the troops is not." @BrianStelter sums it up well :(
