My Dear America:
In the litany of Donald Trump's Notoriously Cruel and Shameless acts over the past nearly three years, we have seen on pretty much of a daily basis continuously New Lows in Trump's behaviors.
We have seen Donald Trump meeting with Russian High Level Well Known Diplomatic Spies in the White House a day after his firing of FBI Director, James Comey and giving them top secret level information gathered from allies. Although Trump barred American Journalists and photographers from the meeting he allowed Russian media to take pictures and was embarrassed and surprised when they released their pictures on the internet. That meeting alone should have led to his Impeachment. But, of course it didn't.
We have also seen Trump meeting with Russian President, Vladimir Putin on several occasions and taking Putin's denials of Russian meddling in the 2016 Election as gospel over the overwhelming evidence produced by American Intelligence Agencies showing that Putin was lying. Robert Mueller's Report listed many documented instances of Russian election interference on behalf of Donald Trump.
We have also seen Trump defending White Supremacists in Charlotte, locking up immigrant children at the border and more recently pressuring Ukraine leaders to produce non existent evidence of Joe Biden's corruption in that country, while holding up money voted for by Congress and needed to fight Putin's forces on their Eastern border. Luckily for us, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi finally got on board the Impeachment Train after this last Incident.
One would think that after Trump's Cavalcade of Cruel and Impeachable Offenses that he might hopefully start trying to behave more like a human being rather than a dangerous and bloodthirsty animal.
One would be wrong.
Following on the heels of the beginning of a serious Impeachment Inquiry regarding Trump he has shut down all semblance of cooperation with the Congress. Trump also did something that finally angered and activated his Republican backers in Congress to finally be forced to question his judgement about something. After a phone call with Turkish Leader Erdogan, who has been chomping at the bit like a mad dog for some time to cross the Turkish Border into Syria in an effort to wipe out the Kurdish forces in Syria who were our allies in the fight against ISIS, Trump caved in to Erdogan like the bone spur coward he has always been. In a middle of the night Tweet Trump pulled out the 60 or so remaining American soldiers in Syria and abandoned the Kurdish fighters who bravely bore the brunt of the fighting against ISIS and were, in fact, responsible for an American victory over ISIS. The Kurds fought bravely against ISIS along with American forces for several years in order to destroy ISIS in Iraq and later on in Syria.
Trump stupidly defended his betrayal of the Kurds on the fact that they had not fought on the same side as America in World War II. Of Course Trump's facts were wrong and his statement was false. Kurdish forces did fight bravely in World War II. They fought just as bravely as they did alongside American Forces in the War against ISIS.
At least some of Trump's previously gutless Republican Senators and Congressmen have voiced opposition to Trump's abandonment of the Kurds but that doesn't seem to have mattered to Trump.
It is well known that Donald Trump is a man who demands complete loyalty to him from everyone around him. Unfortunately This incident is indicative of how little loyalty means when others expect loyalty from him.
This may or not be the most despicable thing Donald Trump may have ever done. That distinction may be hard to recognize since he has done so many despicable things.
One thing for sure is that whenever America might need allies to back them up in the future, Allies may be few and far between and extremely hard to find.
I hope that the result of this latest Donald Trump Outrage is that Republicans, particularly in the Senate, might start to wake up to reality when it comes to what kind of a world we are going to be living in if Donald Trump remains in office.
On behalf of myself and I hope many Americans who feel as I do, I want to thank our Kurdish Allies who helped us defeat ISIS. America and the world owes you a debt of gratitude. I hope that we can help you just as much as you helped us once we get rid of Donald Trump. You didn't deserve to be abandoned without any warning by the Cowardly President of The United States.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
