Trump causing hearburn and heartache for U.S. and more letters to the editors

Everyday brings more heartache for our nation as Trump does, yet again, something that defies logic. Pulling our troops out of Syria creates dangerous consequences.

It abandons Kurdish allies to be slaughtered at the hands of the Turks. This includes women and children. This goes against American values! Our military never leaves our wounded on the battlefield, nor does our nation abandon our allies.

This gives Iran and Russia a gift in the region, which is stupidity. The Kurds have been called “the tip of the spear in winning back Islamic state-held territory.” This desertion could lead to the resurgence of Al-Qaeda and possibly another 9-11. Trump’s idiotic/chaotic geopolitical behavior will never cease.

Also, can you believe a president would contact another country for dirt on an opponent? He’s not only asked Russia, but Ukraine and China. Republicans would be livid if a Democratic president did this; so would I.

He is bringing himself down with his ignorance of our system of government and world relations. Sen. Lindsey Graham is finally seeing the light, and this could spell defeat for him.
