    Turkey is asking for massive US military support to take over the ISIS fight in Syria. Trump wants the US to go home. His officials say they want to protect the Kurds & counter Iran. There's just no way to thread the needle.

    The story in the New York Times regarding Jim Webb being considered as the next Secretary of Defense is FAKE NEWS. I’m sure he is a fine man, but I don’t know Jim, and never met him. Patrick Shanahan, who is Acting Secretary of Defense, is doing a great job!

    Trump also claimed that McConnell wasn't at the Rose Garden presser "because he's running the Senate." Except the Senate isn't in session. And McConnell's spokesman told reporters he'd have stayed *if he'd known* about the presser. Awk.
