New Civil Rights Movement – by Dave Badash
President Donald Trump made a startling statement Friday afternoon while boasting about how he believes he handled his widely-condemned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Northern Syria – a move that had opened the gate to ethnic cleansing of America’s now-former allies, the Kurds.
“We’ve taken control of the oil in the Middle East, the oil that we’re talking about, the oil that everybody was worried about. We have the U.S. control of that,” Trump said, minutes after concluding a talk with the first two women astronauts to participate in an all-women spacewalk.
Trump went on to claim “there are no shots being fired, and a lot of people are doing a lot of things,” despite the supposed “ceasefire” that lasted less than 24 hours.
“This is a deal that should been made 15 years, 10 ago, over the last number of years under the Obama administration. The real numbers is over one million people were killed,” Trump said, doubling his claim from earlier this week. “We have lost no, not a drop of blood since we’ve started, what I’ve started, and it was, so far it’s working out.”
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale was among the first to report on Trump’s stunning claim.
Trump in fact made a similar statement on Twitter that went largely unnoticed just a few hours ago:
…..this thinking years ago. Instead, it was always held together with very weak bandaids, & in an artificial manner. There is good will on both sides & a really good chance for success. The U.S. has secured the Oil, & the ISIS Fighters are double secured by Kurds & Turkey….

Reporters are expressing confusion over what the president meant:
"We've taken control of the oil in the Middle East," says @POTUS (who didn't respond to subsequent questions from me and other pool reporters to elaborate on what he means by that).

I'm usually pretty good at figuring out what Trump might be referring to in public remarks, but right now I'm having trouble reverse-engineering "we've taken control of the oil in the Middle East"

Trump this afternoon: "We've taken control of the oil in the Middle East, the oil that we're talking about, the oil that everybody was worried about. We have — the US has control of that." (?)

Trump: "We've taken control of the oil in the Middle East."
Not really sure to what he is referring, but he referenced taking control of oil in his tweet earlier today as well.

“… the oil that everybody was worried about.”
‘Everybody’ meaning only the jews.
“The real numbers is over one million people were killed,” Trump said, doubling his claim from earlier this week.”
You’re responsible for more deaths than that, ferrethead.
“We have lost no, not a drop of blood since we’ve started, what I’ve started, and it was, so far it’s working out.”
Just listen to this gobbledygook.
This dimwit needs to be put on a teleprompter 24/7.
He is hands down THE most uneducated POS this country has ever had for ‘president’ (NOT MINE!).
But he sure can do wwe?! Am I right? Still hard to believe there are idiots out there that can’t see he even uses some of the same acting “skills” he used during that shtick that he uses at the podium(gaaaack!) And THAT is the guy they throw their chips in the barrel for?! Jumpin cheeses on a pogo stick, they’re not even winning bronze at the special olympics.
He appeals to those with a schoolyard bully mentality for the most part… or those with the I.Q. of the average (two legged) pig these days.
T.V. ‘programming’ created most of these mental midgets.
Big Pharma did the rest.
(Sigh) You’re right about that, #1. Wish you weren’t, but there’s a lot of those knuckle draggers out there just struggling to top the 70’s chart, and I ain’t talking disco!
I talk to these Trump morons daily being a truck driver. The guy literally lied to these people to their face during the campaign and they still support him. You explain it to them and they just start talking about Nancy Pelosi or “The Left”. They are dumb. Trump getting in did split us, but it did let us know who the morons were amongst us. These people are traitors as far as I’m concerned..
Your right #1, these people are the “Self-Powerless to made change” and this did it “T.V. ‘programming’ created most of these mental midgets” and of course, Big Pharma and do not let the Jews off the hook!!!
ITS TIME TO GIVE THESE ASSHOLES THEIR, “NEW WORLD ORDER”.
IT JUST WON’T BE THE ONE THEY WANT……………..
