What’s An Ally? Trump Seems Mighty Confused

Trump is drawing bipartisan criticism for withdrawing US support for Kurds in Syria who helped defeat the ISIS Caliphate. This is not the first time he has wavered in his support for US allies.

Well that’s natural, he is a businessman after all. He doesn’t have “allies, ” only subordinates or enemies.

Well if that's the case then Israel must be more than just an ally, sounds like a marriage is going on there, with the amount the US gives them every year!

What a disgrace mocking his own generals.

"An ally can turn"

What, like the US?

When you have no "allies"
in your personal life; it's very difficult to compenend that an alliance can be beneficial.
Sad.

He’s mocking generals? I thought he loved the military lol

He’s businessman/mafia don president.

Nothing will be done on principle, it’s a if you want help ‘f you, pay me!’ attitude.

"Am I crazy or did he say at the end of this clip that you're going to find out that an Ally will turn on you" ?....

the kurds deserve our respect more than any faction ever allied to the west. yet we drop em. absolute disgrace.

[hoihujw]

All those trump supporters clapping whatever the "President" say lmao

[iloveyouamberappel]

Trump is correct.It's not as important as it use to be. The USA shouldn't be fighting other countries wars for them.

I believe Cirque du Soleil is hiring clowns he'll be a perfect fit.

When you consider he has no friends and only relationships of business opportunity, it's so interesting to see him talk about allies. He has no idea what an ally is good for because he has no idea what a friend is good for. It's amazing if that doesn't make his supporters a bit uncomfortable that he really believes there is no benefit to trust or good will in any relationship, only immediate personal benefit.

[BothHands]

of course he doesn't - he doesn't know what anything is. the only thing he cares about is himself. he doesn't care about you. if you think he cares about you, he doesn't.

What do you expect from a draft Dodger, no loyalty.

[Pandamasque]

I bet he stole pocket money from his parents as a kid.

[Bojanglesz]

Ally doesn’t mean BFF! Trump is right!

[annabouthillier]

Has this channel just turned into a compilation channel of Trump?

[keplernite]

President Trump grew up as a rich kid who was able to get whatever he desired. This can mess up kids mind and make him distant from the complexity of reality. I hope he is not selected again, he is long way from how the world works.
