BREAKING: President Trump announced he will issue an executive order imposing “powerful” sanctions against Turkey for its incursion into northeast Syria

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he will issue an executive order imposing “powerful” sanctions against Turkey for its incursion into northeast Syria.

“The United States will aggressively use economic sanctions to target those who enable, facilitate, and finance these heinous acts in Syria,” Trump said in a statement. "I am fully prepared to swiftly destroy Turkey’s economy if Turkish leaders continue down this dangerous and destructive path.”Trump has come under fire for his decision to pull back U.S.

I would classify this announcement as another of many distractions, this time from the Impeachment Inquiry. Trump has used various types of distractions, when he is being criticized for anything. Sanctions won't bring back the dead Kurds, nor recapture ISIS members who escaped.

Can we put a sanction on trump for being stupid?

There Dead Now. Because of you.

I hope we don't become enemies of other country not can come out of violence just sadness

Maybe you should ask Susan Collins to help you with a strongly worded letter to Erdogan.

And the world laughs!

Breaking: Turkey doesn’t care.

He needed a big distraction to get everyone off the “impeachment” thing! ImpeachTheMoronNow

Is he trying to make an enemy of Turkey, destabilize the Middle East, and drive Turkey into an alliance with the Russians all at the same time? This IS treasonous behavior, he has to go!!

Too late. As the slaughter continues.

What a Moron!!! He created this mess!? Is he going to “impose powerful sanctions” like he did with Russia

realdonaldtrump is not America's ally.

What a waist of his breath!

** The incursion Dolt45 drumpf enabled after his chat with erdogan (bigoted dictator & genocidal maniac, aided by USA)... The narcissistic (yet *so* insecure), business-failure & racist f*ckwit drumpf is a danger to the climate, environment & WORLD PEACE (- US more arms sales)

kstreet111 That's his EVERYDAY COVEFFE face

This is such Bull$&! Why is an executive order special? The US has no power over a sovereign Nation. He can’t force other countries to comply with the “sanctions” & he’s destroyed our relationship with Allies so who will back him. The Kurds are being slaughtered & it’s his fault

kstreet111

Oh.... I feel better already. LIKE A WET FART !

tjmakiboi F him and this nonsense.

Idiot

Oooo. 'Powerful'

To loose a NATO partner fully. 3d chess by a very stable genius?

Why is he even suggesting ’executive order’ when this would obviously get overwhelming bi-partisan support? But this is like a pyromancer sprinkling a few drops of water on the inferno he started... The excecuted Kurds wont come back. The edcaped IS prisoners are gone.

Meanwhile he will arrange a one on one with special envoy Ivanka

Is he going to be imposing sanctions on Isis too? Smh

.A compromised “President” can’t do shit💩💩💩💩💩

.He’s still the “President?” Sigh

He caused this chaos

Too late murderer

Trump is Showing now weak he really is in the case Turkey ,our Country is in trouble and he doesn’t what to do

This guy and his fookin' sanctions.

Change the headlines to 'Trump can't Walk Back what he Started' instead of this ridiculousness of a headline!

This is Trump's same whole Idiotic tactics. He deliberately causes very avoidable problems, then after the problems escalates just as he planned, he then shows up as the 'SUPER HERO'. What a shame!

Key words here are 'will issue' . If he gets around to it, I can't imagine they'll be too severe

Trump should resign instead.

Probably a spanking. After dinner. Late in the dark.

The blood is on Trump's hands. Powerful sanctions against Turkey for the incursion into Syria which he greenlighted.

What sanction will be placed on the stupid U.S. President who used his authority as Commander in Chief to set in motion the war, the atrocities and the loss of American honor?

Good

We call executive order bullshit. He has no such intention, no matter what he writes.

I’m sure that will bring peace to the families of all the dead Kurds - NOT!!

Charge trump with murder for every death due to his ignorance

Too little too late! He has given them a several day lead!

A little too late!

But of course, the POWERFUL sanctions against Turkey will be Putin-approved and watered down, so they will NOT affect TrumpTowersIstanbul. realDonaldTrump ALWAYS puts himself first.

What about those who were executed or died as a result? How’s he bringing them back?

realDonaldTrump So now Trump is trying to clean up the mess his made.

I bang on about US foreign sales so I'm gonna hurt them further by sounding tough on a problem I created

Trump we have no way of ever knowing how turkey got all that Russian steel and ammunition

Our Kurdish allies including women and children have been slaughtered thousands of Isis fighters released and now a week later after the damage realDonaldTrump has done he is wanting to do sanctions votehimout

Oh yea those worked great in North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Zimbabwe etc. The leaders immediately changed their behavior to conform to what the US wanted

TooLate

mmfnSNlIx9D5iAb's account has been withheld in Turkey in response to a legal demand. Learn more.

50% tariffs on Turkish steel?! Just how much Turkish steel do we import?!

*45 rash decisions caused the execution of the Kurds and the escape of ISIS prisioners. This is what comes from him communicating with foreign dictators in private. Murder, chaos and pointing the finger at someone else when it your F up.

I'm sure they r shaking in the boots...the world knows your gull of s_hit and r taking advantage if it

hahahhahaha

Set building on fire, then call the fire department, then claim you are a hero for helping out the fire, classic Trump.

The sanctions that Lindsey Graham talked about on his prank call? They must be scared.

Trump has made a worse/strained relationship with Turkey, a NATO ally, and a win for Russia/Syria. Who would want that?

Hey Erdogan, Wink Wink😉

So, he's raised tariffs in steel, which doesn't really hurt Turkey, and cancels a non-existent trade deal. Way to step up to the plate.

Come somebody get this dumnass a thesaurus for the word powerful? Jfc everything he mumbles on about is 'powerful'.

Wouldn’t need any sanctions if he wasn’t such a metal defective 😏

Pointless blustering- will change nothing; major eff up playing out with our military in harm’s way. Trump is a fool.

Sanctions don't do a fucking thing for all the people who have died and for the mothers carrying around their dead children. You Donald Trump have the blood of all of these people on your hands. Nothing can save you now

So, no love letters from Turkey then…

What a traitor to Turkey he is - to imvite them in, and then to punish them for accepting his invitation.

Too little too late. Should have talked to the people who know rather than the people who follow you

This was all part of the agreement...the painless sanctions aren’t going to work.

Fake Sanctions

So, you got your rocks off nuf, hearing bout all the atrocities that your turk pally arranged for our Kurd allies ...and, now yer gonna backtrack, like no one will notice their blood on your hands. Screw your sanctions. You choked & betrayed the honor of our country. Get Out.

To all the nay sayers....how many kids do you have in the military right now? How many are in Syria? How do you feel about your kids fighting a never ending war that’s been going on forever? How many of you want to keep throwing your tax dollars at it? AmericaFirst

Pointless and Useless!

papertiger

I can't help but wonder how that phone call went

Oh here we go trying to fix his fuck ups for praise

MoronTrump is responding to ongoing atrocities in Syria with 'harsh' words and sanctions? Anything Turkey can't purchase from America can be purchased from another country. UBigDummy

No rush, Don! It's not a matter of life and death or anything...

What an idiot he is . he should never have removed the troops without a solid plan which caused this crisis

Too little, too late!

No matter what you do Trump, it isn't going to matter!! YOU TRUMP, MADE THIS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE MESS!! YOU NEED TO STEP OUT OF WHAT YOU TRULY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BEFORE YOU FUCKUP THE REST OF THE WORLD!! MAJOR MISTAKE!!

Trump just endangered US forces, putting them in harms way.

Yeah, right.

...as long as they don’t harm his properties in Turkey.

'Powerful'

So realDonaldTrump made it easy for them to do, now he's going to 'punish' them for it? Did he do all this just to try to make himself look powerful? Yeah that didn't work.

Sanctions, eh? Maybe they will begin to have an impact after the Turks have destroyed the Kurdish people, ISIS is back to its terrorist activities and Putin has laughed his a$$ off at us. impeachTrump

He should be tried for murder

It’s like Frankenstein putting the monster back. Sorry dude, you created this mess and reestablished ISIS. You’ve made the world less safe, “President” Trump.

Its toooooo late !! The BLOOD IS ALREADY ON YOUR HANDS!

But what about his hotel in Turkey 🇹🇷

Some people just like to spread chaos, its called 'bait and switch', designed to take the focus of the American people off himself and the committee looking into his unlawful acts. He will have to answer for every thing. Personaly i would rather face people than God, as he will.

So.... Moron in Chief thinks sanctions (Legal remedies) on Turkey will accomplish something while he himself believes legal actions are useless against his own aggression?

We had things under control. There was a reason our troops were there helping the Kurds keep isis under control. Don the con stepped in and everything went to hell!

The fire starter (turned fire fighter) rushes in to save the world from the inferno he created.

Yes, I'm sure that will deter them. Too little, too late, for something realDonaldTrump knew would happen. ImpeachTheMFTraitor

I’m guessing money will be involved.

He should announce that his two towers in Istanbul are safe now

This is Ridiculous, he gave them the green light for their agenda of destruction, now he has to make it look like he is the hero? and the Republicans have to follow.

Ah, the 'Art of the deal' wins another one.... WHERE'S MY DADDY?

Once again trying to solve a problem he created!

Yea suuure. How is that going to make things better. PR stunt. I’m sure this is prearranged with Erdogan

No...He won’t.

Why on Gods green earth did the moron start this in the first place! He's got to be a RussianAsset ImpeachmentIsComing 🇺🇸

could even one reporter ask how will sanctions be enforced when tillerson scrapped the office that does the monitoring..... PLEASE

Turkish lira rises as markets don't take Trump's tariff threats seriously. Borsa Istanbul 100 Index 95,257.63TRY+1,276.24+1.36% The President is a joke.

Wonder if Erdoğan threatened or block off all pedestrian and vehicle traffic into Trump Tower Istanbul ? Is that why Don the Con gave a green light to Turkey killing the Kurds ? realDonaldTrump GOP WhiteHouse OfficialWHPress

First he unleashes hell on the Kurds, now he’s going to impose sanctions. He gave Erdogan the green light to invade. realDonaldTrump should be impeached for this huge blunder. 👎👎

Too late Trump, your transparent gift too Russia is laying bear for the World to see. ISIS is free, an when they Attack Americans again it will be their Blood on Your Hands.

deborahsundstr2 I predict that these will not be concrete moves towards actual harsh sanctions that would hurt Trump Inc business. This could be very similar to the misleading statements of Trump “weighing possible response to the murder Khashoggi” & now we are sending troops to them.

Yeah, only due to the uproar and as another distraction. If he'd really cared about the Kurds, he wouldb't have allowed any of this to happen. What's the quid pro quo for his hotels?

Too late & don’t think he will. It’s just ‘acting’ for his ignorant supporters. Cynical, corrupted, liar, only working to coverup his crimes.

They probably will use his sanctions to make more fire

It's a little late putting out the milk when you've already KILLED THE CAT☠️☠️

These are. Powerful powerful sanctions😄😄😄. Then he will called Erdogon to let him know its a show.

Lying liar says what?

Let’s ask the dead people how they fill about that

Make up your mind! Doesn't he remember he allowed Kurds to get slaughtered?

OK, where r they? The US is open for business - with Russian mafia oligarchs, just like Trump Inc.

Too late

Tell that to the Kurds.

If he didn't waste his time on his businesses and take care of America's business we wouldn't be in this situation. You don't know what your doing, all your seeing is $ signs. Your change will be bars...

It’s your own fault realDonaldTrump. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Cheap talk , damage is already done.

realDonaldTrump truly fancies himself a king.

Well, that should bring the dead back to life. So proud of President Trump.

They have ways of getting around the sanctions. Remember the Russia investment in Kentucky!

Powerful sanctions to correct something he created. Ok, we really believe that 🙄

The only thing powerful about trump and his moronic traitor army is allegiance to Putin.

Your a joke.

oh please. WagTheDog bullshit

Too Late.

TOO LATE! He allowed the slaughter to begin over a week ago. Can’t undo death to innocents.

realDonaldTrump It’s a little too late. Do not act like you are trying to do something good and save the day. Blood is all over your hands donaldtrumpmurders

Good lord!! Trump is such an imbecile! Thinking the damage is done!!

𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗽𝘀! 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲, 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲!

Powerful sanctions won’t hit them for months. The damage is done and ISIS is free to regroup.. the Kurds & our allies don’t trust us. POTUS sold America out, it’s that simple

Pos lunatic!

Bullshit

Well...you know...until tomorrow when he causes another disaster he thinks will cause everyone to look away. There will be another late night call with Erdogan, Trump Towers will be brought up, and all of a sudden he'll think sanctions are a bad idea.

Hahahaha. Not going to do a damn thing.

TraitorTrump.. That sounds better

Has anyone noticed that “powerful” is used by Trump whenever he comes up with a bullshit lie? That and the “sir” and “big strong crying men” verbal tick.

Well...as long as they are'POWERFUL'...then COOL!! Does he somehow get points for inserting that word in every frickin statement?!? Is there a skip in the record player in his head 'I don't think that word means what you think it means'!?!

That same MO over and over: create chaos and then claim to be fixing it. Insanity.

What would those be - no riding on the golf course after dark. Don’t believe it. OrangePuff is a menace to the world. ImpeachmentIsComing

Even if he follows through, which I doubt, it's too late. The horse is out of the barn. The damage has been done.

And Erdogan will giggle, pat POTASS on his little head, and continue his offensive.

And the farmer hauled another load of 🐂 💩 away 🎶🎵

And somehow this will benefit Trump.

I don't think Turkey really cares if they can't buy John Deere tractors and Harley Davidson motorcycles. Oh I forgot, thanks to US tariffs Harleys are made in India now.

Sanctions will never be carried out. Watch

FFS Incursion? More like SLAUGHTER. Erdogan got what he wanted, so now Trump can issue “powerful” sanctions. Like can the sanctions bring back the dead children & return ISIS prisoners? It’s too late. Trump has blood on his hands. And who knows the future ISIS repercussions.

realDonaldTrump Would have been more ‘powerful’ if you didn’t started this whole disaster to begin with. Now you think you are a hero because you try to fix your mess? You can’t be more deplorable! 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is his arsonist fire Trump can’t put out much less with a piece of paper.

Person who lit the house on fire, watched it burn for hours and then called the fire department, wants credit for putting the fire out.

So the arsonist is going to boycott the store that sold him the gasoline.

This game that this POS Trump thinks he will succeed playing with people's lives, is NOT GOING TO END WELL FOR HIM AND MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE.

Too late you fool

Sorry POTUS, won’t work. Go fish.

After hundreds-thousands of allies dead, 270,000 needed to leave their home you r late. U caused this disaster. Unfortuntely u cant put toothpaste back in the container & u let this go. U hurt american safety, u r a danger to US. U allowed ISIS to resurrect & they r not jesus.

This is what happens when a traitor sociopath abuses his power.

With blood on his hands

Too little, too late. You can't un - slaughter the Kurds.

The 'president'... 'will impose'... 'powerful'... 'sanctions'... ...against Turkey for the 'incursion' Trump green lit? It's still on the White House website. Trump announced he was retreating US troops specifically to allow this Turk 'operation'. Sanctions? Yeah rrrrright.

So realDonaldTrump is now ‘getting tough’ on Turkey for doing what he allowed them to do in the first place. When it comes to stupid, he is The Best Stupid (and ‘many people are saying’ this).

What bullshit. Nothing will happen and they'll continue slaughtering the Kurds. Today's winners - Putin, Erdogan, al-Assad and Turkey. Today's losers, the USA, but most of all, our allies, the Kurds.

London it a brick he doesn’t and if he does they will come into effect in 6 months time and be weak.

Fucking blunderer !

.realDonaldTrump Why does it seem the entire Trump Presidency operates solely by Executive Order? His legacy will include Presidency by Executive Order. What a lazy and trynical President! The Constitution didn't create our government this way. President is not King!

Stick your “powerful sanctions” in your ass. Once again trump has caused disaster and blames everyone one else. Once again FoxNews GOP defend him. MAGA ImpeachAllTheMFers

Fool

Turkey is laughing at us and Russia has moved into former US bases. We are a JOKE, and you can thank the puppet in WH. MORON

Big f’n deal.

So to anyone who thinks we should still be in Syria...what Americans do you consider expendable to stay there? Please be specific...because that’s what you’re saying...we should have kept more of our people there to maintain a false state for the Kurds. Why is that our job?

Ooh, steel tariffs. Turkish steel industry is MINUSCULE, like realDonaldTrump's brain and 'manhood.'

Does realDonaldTrump really think he can undo the horror he unleashed last week? And is he really think sanctions will really do anything? By the time they take affect, Turkey will have rid the Kurds of their settlements. It will take YEARS if not DECADES to build back any trust

Too little too late.

Can he bring back the dead?

I’m sure all the families with dead children will appreciate that. Trump must be held responsible in The Hague for crimes against humanity! TrumpGenocide

You created the problem now you think sanctions are going to correct it it's time to impeach this man

Trump is a disgrace, this is completely on him, trump is a disaster of biblical proportions. BloodOnTrumpsHands AmericansForImpeachment

What makes you Turkey gives a rats a.... about sanctions! You've already made a deal with him! He got what he wanted.

Stop carrying water for republicans.

Again starts a huge crisis then swoops in with a solution he thinks makes him a hero. Such a disgrace KurdsBetrayedByTrump TraitorTrump

Too little, too late. You cannot bring back the lives lost or recapture escaping ISIS terrorists with sanctions. You gave Turkey the green light and they took it.

SO WHAT! U CREATED THIS DISASTER! JUST LIKE THE BORDER AND TRADE. MORON!

'powerful' sanctions lol this fucking president

HE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM DO NOT FUCKING GIVE HIM KUDOS

How much do we actually trade w Turkey? Pathetic smoke screen

Announced that he will issue a powerful..... Fuck. He screwed it up. Measure twice, cut once. What kind of foreign policy apparatus is this?

That will not bring the people back to life that were needlessly killed. Big whoop.

I bought kerosine I bought matches I set it on fire I fan the flames I watch it burn I try to put out the giant blaze I call the fire department I wait for the fire department I continue too put water on the fire I put it out I put out the fire I started Am I a hero? -trump

Ruh-roh!

But his towers?😮2 of them😂

What his followers imagine his powers will look like:

So, once again Trump starts the fire and wants credit for trying to put it out.

And Turkey out from NATO

Too little too late POTUS

ANOTHER LIE

Donald Trump has: -Endangered our troops -Allowed ISIS to regroup -Abandoned our allies -Empowered Putin & Assad -Stained his hands with the blood of people who fought side by side with our army... and now, because of the backlash, he wants to window dress? Shame. He’s a traitor!

He had one job: to say NO to Erdogan on that phone call.

Isn’t trump a day late and a dollar short on these sanctions?

Dr Frankenstein sanctions his monster

Do we kind of get the feeling that Trump manufactured a problem to distract from his impeachment. Not only that but he thinks he can now maybe play the peacekeeper and get his well sought after Noble peace prize CrookedTrump CriminalTrump

For a problem he caused?

Trump created this catastrophe, it's too late!

Well, now we will be raking in money with more sanctions everyone take the day off our president has you covered.

We need a definition of what he considers “powerful”, MAGA nightmare.

This wouldn't have been necessary if he weren't an incompetent, impulsive child in the first place.

VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

It’s too late. He can’t undo what he has done. TrumpBetrayedOurAllies TrumpGenocide

B.S.!

Fake sanctions, all for show.

Get it done.

I’ll believe it when I see proof of it! Erdogan will rat him out before he lets trump do this!

Too little, too late

Kinda like opening your front door, inviting someone in, then calling the police and reporting an intruder.

Oooooh! 'Powerful' sanctions!! Did he get approval from Putin before he announced this?

Quit falling for his bullshit

I don’t think even stupid people are buying that! His base already supported him with his heinous move and applauded it. What are they going to do now - gaze on in stupid? The rest of us know it is too little too late and he is going to reverse on congress in a Trump minute!

Oh those fucking horrible, awful, executive orders. 🙄

Yeah, but will he implement any Congressionally approved sanctions? Doubt it. This is a baloney work around.

Powerful sanctions - Trump hotels in Istanbul will hike 100% on rates

Enjoy your freedoms ISIS - thanks to Donald Trump - over the bodies of 11,000 Kurdish bodies. That number is now growing due to a weak and ignorant man.

This is all Donald Trump’s fault and the Republicans who have gone along with every un-American thing that he has done are complicit

this BS Politico, why doesn't it read 'Trump creates a disaster and is desperate to not look stupid'

Sanctions don’t bring dead people back to life.

What? You are going to park the USS John McCain off the Turkish coast!😂😂😂

In other words, Brutus is issuing an order to ban any knife sales in Rome?!?

BFD.

He has created this problem, and I don't think economic sanctions are doing to do shit...except maybe line his pockets.

Too late, unless you can bring back all the people and children who have died. Ask the ISIS militants to go back and get into the prison because you want them to do it. Sanctions, Really? You and the republicans, who let you be unchecked, have blood of the Kurds all over you.

Closing the barn door when it is too late is not a strategy.

To little to late! The blood is already on Trump! Sad!

Marilyn31682963 realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC Please list the so called sanctions. Erdogan will burn down tRump towers if the sanctions are truly serious and enacted stevenmnuchin1 will be instructed to hold up any sanctions. More lying bluffing

Wow. Humpty Dumpty trying to pick up the pieces?

Wasn’t necessary in the slightest.

Damage has been done. Atrocities are ongoing! Trump too late. Make the worst decision and then punish. Makes no fucken sense!! ImbecileInPower

Audio sanctions..👀

Hummmm . . There’s that “wisdom” again.

Too little, too late.

He creates chaos (people are dying) so he can pretend to help. He does it all for ratings & donations. Votes are incidental. What will he do this election to win? Anything. Absolutely anything.

The arsonist cannot also be the firefighter. Gaslighting again. Traitor. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW

Too late, trump is unfit for office.

I thought he wanted them to fight it out. Too much pressure on you dumpster.

Are you still having a play date with Erdogan, mr president?

Why should we let Turkey to invade Syria and then impose sanctions against it!? Isn't this a clear indication that President is not knowing what he is doing

How can you sanction someone for something they did with your permission?

Such a nasty, stupid, illiterate baboon.

Everything happening according to plan, The tRump/Putie Plan.

There is far more dynamism taking shape that lead to this current nightmare. Turkey only recently side-stepped US on purchase of S400 system. No more than a few months later, major occupancy into Syria. Can’t just push-in 20 miles along, occupancy also taking shape.

Sounds desperate!!!

Just for show. He caused this to happen.

Sanctions NOW? That is little too late!!

Yeah-bite me!!!

Seriously, can you imagine if Obama had made these same decisions?

Could be the stupidest guy in America

Turkey doesn’t give a rats ass about Trump or what he threatens to do. Their resent actions proves this.

He breaks it and now claims he’s fixing it...what a nimrod!

All Talk! Trump Towers Istanbul is what will be the deciding factor, will they halt the incentives to the Trump Organization?

Randomly horses and barn doors come to mind...

Create a problem and pretend to be the hero who solves it.

Let me try to put the toothpaste back in the tube

Nobody cares soon.

Guess there will be a few extra drumsticks after he cancels this year’s pardon.

And that helps those already murdered how BloodOnTrumpsHands

An I thought this 'stable genius knee more than the Generals'. Maybe Not?

Powerful? Does he plan to block CNN from the Turkish airways? His definition of poweeiholds no weight. The US and its allies are screwed while that moron is in office. I bet he’s on Ambien.

Unfortunately sanctions punish civilians is there a way to punish Erdogan and his administration?

What a joke. You continue to normalize him and the GOP. You remain complicit.

You open the barn doors fool!

Big whoop. People are still going to die and isis is still going to escape. He fucked up.

realDonaldTrump marcorubio SenRickScott GOPLeader SenateGOP Your Russian elected Pres caused the massacre of our Kurdish allies and NOW we are implementing sanctions. We must see transcript of call w Turkey’s Pres. Trump got rolled again.RemoveTrumpNow

mterr337 Kinda late dufess, many lives have been murdered and now our troops are in trouble. You're freaking shamdful

Put the biggest hurt on Turkey you can destroy them?

Oh, will he now.....

Paper tiger.

Based on what we know about Trump is the word “powerful” is something he overstates like every 5th grader and are typically not!

One that he prearranged. Hello. Anyone in there?

LMAO

As usual a half baked idea, so why wouldn’t Turkey just sever ties and ally with Russia?

trump is complicit in the way this situation has unfolded and now he wants to impose sanctions! Through impeachment or a lost in 2020, it’s time for trump to be a part of this countries past!

All talk & no action.

realDonaldTrump this after you basically invited Turkey to invade them. Too little to late UnfitToBePresident UnfitForOffice UnfitAndUnstable MAGA Dump Trump 2020

Narcissistic personality, cause the drama , then he turn around and fix it.

You gave them the green light..!

Too late....

DebbieGoldman15 Too late now, Jack. The blood is already running in the gutters.

realDonaldTrump Unless you haven't seen the pictures of the poor dead Kurdish babies, let me just break the news to you. These babies would be alive today but are not because of YOU! “Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.'

He has no idea. They have 50 of our nuclear weapons. When Erdogan holds them hostage Trump will call Putin to ask what to do and Putin will do him a favor.

That's bout the only thing you know how to do leagal most of the time. Another thing is you know how to get blood on your hands. Your hotel in Turkey is safe!

Get out of here

Once a traito, always a traitor

Another “I HEREBY ORDER” tweet coming up.

He is going to try and bankrupt the country so he can buy more property there. Already has 2 Trump towers and about 100 other properties.

Not powerful. Worthless. Unless IIstanbul Trump towers gets forclosed.

Such an idiot! He’s going to punish them, after they’ve murdered innocent ppl with trump’s approval by the way!

Too late, damage down. realDonaldTrump you are a Russian Puppet!

Powerful ?!! Really? It’ll make no difference

I bet he doesn't

Trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Fkin murderer.

Sanctions after he ENABLED them? Logic only a trump idiot can understand

ooooh

In the near distance future.

This man is fking insane.

What realDonaldTrump really said

Too late!!! 😡😡😡

And he won’t be sacrificing the lives of American soldiers! Way to do it, Mr. Prez!

Seriously?

What a fool. Trump gave permission to Turkey and now he wants to be a tough guy. The Senate and House Resolutions will be too late.

Can somebody tell him he created the mess.

Jeez! This isn't fast enough action for the slaughter that's going on! I'll believe the sanctions when I see it.

hey someone ought to ask Trump if you can unrape women...he would know.

Yes, sanctions on Turkey is the answer to the mess you’ve created. And the lives lost. And our loss of trust and respect from other nations...did the idea of sanctions occur to you while golfing as people were being slaughtered?

Talkin Loud saying and doing NOTHING. tRump is a COWARD!

you have so much power but can't find out who puts violence with your face on social media... you support this shit... you should be impeached for not stopping violence like this... but you will try when the chickens come home to roost realDonaldTrump

Just like he Russian sanctions

Powerful. I have a vacuum cleaner that claims in its advertising it’s powerful. It sucks

This just in... Powerful Sanctions is a 20th level Cleric who can resurrect all of the victims of this idiot's foreign policy

All talk no action

Doing something that was setup before pulling U.S. troops out

He’s just putting on a show. No executive order needed. Congress is more than willing to put sanctions

POTUS has invented a new form of government--an adhocracy.

I’m sure they’re quivering in their boots as you slay them with your rhetoric and intuition.

Trump saying he will do something instead of doing it means he is never doing it and is trying to get the positive response for doing something without doing it

So far it is just cheap talk.

Why is he issuing an “executive” order when this is something that would pass on a bi-partisan basis?!?!? Oh also that he created this mess by commanding the US troops to leave Syria! He needs to go now. ImpeachTrumpNow

Did he consult with Putin before this?

Putin is ecstatic

Too late and way too little and it is all his fault!

so he is confirming he is doing nothing...

Why an EO? Congress has said they will do it? Oh, that's right. It's all about him. SMH

Is he going to ban butterballs this thanksgiving? He creates the problems and his solutions are usually worse than the original status quo But he’ll take a victory lap like a dog that just marked his favorite fire hydrant

realDonaldTrump admits he was stupid and will now punish Turkey for them doing what he approved

The, “I’m not gonna share my lollipops with Turkey” executive order?

realDonaldTrump should sanction himself because he was the looney bird that started this mess without a plan as usual. He must have gotten his favor from Turkey.

What kind of sanctions will he place on ISIS?

Then he will try and spin this as a win because of all of the “money” the US will be getting from the sanctions. 😳🙄🙄🙄

What a liar

Band aid

Clean up on Aisle 5. Your action have resulted in MURDER. Big frigging deal on sanctions. A little too late. Impeachment can not come fast enough.

Too little too late. TrumpSetISISFree

Trump should impose powerful sanctions on himself for giving Turkey the green light in the first place.

We need a copy phone call transcript with Erdogan. Had Trump been prepared this certainly should have been included BEFORE Trump agreed that US soldiers would interfere with Turkey crossing the border

Can't bar the door after the horse bolted. To little to late. You own these deaths TRUMP!!

Right...

Don't believe it...he won't !!!

Trump is a wimp! He is totally incompetent to be POTUS!!!

Trump hands the Kurd's fate to Putin and Assad then imposes sanctions on Turkey to make it easier for Putin to control Syria. Meanwhile, Turkey, a NATO member nation, feels like they have been betrayed.

Just do it!

As powerful as a blown kiss to Putin.

Too late, he is responsible for the murders, yet again.

Been saying that since yesterday.
