IDIOT WIND
It is a commonplace that Donald Trump gets most of his talking points from Fox News, but I can’t help but wonder someone showed him “Animal House” recently. His comment about the Kurds’ failure to help the Allies on D-Day resembles nothing so much as John Belushi’s “when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor” soliloquy.
Let the record show that the Kurds were equally useless at Bunker Hill, the Battle of New Orleans, and Gettysburg. Did they help out at the Alamo or Little Bighorn? Don’t make me laugh. General Pershing could have used them in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, and they were also AWOL in Iwo Jima and the Battle of the Bulge. The Chosin Reservoir? Khe Sanh? No Kurds in sight.
Everything Trump touches, dies. Now he’s touched the Kurds. Recep Erdogan may think he’s won this round, but watch out, Turkey. Trump has now touched you too.
