That's pretty much it. His decisions are governed by what's best for Trump Inc.

 

That whole thing looked like the standard "If something was done wrong, it was someone else's fault, not mine" from Trump. Could be Perry does not feel like playing the fall guy for Trump's craziness.

Trump rolling over for Turkey and setting the Kurds up for slaughter just might be a bridge too far.

Then there's this:




"Donald Trump got "rolled" by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a National Security Council source with direct knowledge of the discussions told Newsweek.

In a scheduled phone call on Sunday afternoon between President Trump and President Erdogan, Trump said he would withdraw U.S. forces from northern Syria. The phone call was scheduled after Turkey announced it was planning to invade Syria, and hours after Erdogan reinforced his army units at the Syrian-Turkish border and issued his strongest threat to launch a military incursion, according to the National Security Council official to whom Newsweek spoke on condition of anonymity.

The U.S. withdrawal plays into the hands of the Islamic State group, Damascus and Moscow, and the announcement left Trump's own Defense Department "completely stunned," said Pentagon officials. Turkey, like the United States, wants regime change in Syria. Russia and Iran support the Assad regime.

"President Trump was definitely out-negotiated and only endorsed the troop withdraw to make it look like we are getting something—but we are not getting something," the National Security Council source told Newsweek. "The U.S. national security has entered a state of increased danger for decades to come because the president has no spine and that's the bottom line."



It looks like the push back from the intel community has started in earnest.

 

Ok, I’m curious. What’s the point of pulling out?
