SIRIOUSLY!

That old fat idiot Donald Trump continues to threaten the existence of the USA and detente around the world.

There have been so many examples of his idiocy over the last week that it's hard to pick out any one thing. I've selected his ridiculous assertion that the Kurds didn't help America in WW2 (false as per usual).

(CNN)
During a press conference Wednesday, President Donald Trump mentioned that the Kurds did not join the US during the invasion of Normandy in 1944 as part of his defense for removing troops from northern Syria, providing Turkey with a clear shot to attack the Kurds.
"Now the Kurds are fighting for their land, just so you understand," Trump said when asked if abandoning the Kurds would make it more difficult for the US to gain allies in the future. "As somebody wrote in a very very powerful article today, they didn't help us in the Second World War, they didn't help us with Normandy," Trump said, likely referring to an article posted on the right-wing website Townhall.Facts First: The Kurds as an entity did not assist the US during World War II or at Normandy in particular, but that's because they couldn't.
The Kurds are made up of many different tribes and families that primarily live in Kurdistan, a region that spans across five countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Armenia. During the Second World War there was no Kurdish government in any of these countries, so there was no way they could have assisted the US in Normandy or any battlefront.
Experts CNN spoke with said that since the Kurds were not (and still are not) a nation state, there would be no way for them to enter the war. However, because some Kurds migrated to the Soviet Union following the First World War and the fall of the Ottoman Empire, individual Kurds may have fought with the Soviets against the Axis, as noted by The New York Times.Henri Barkey, an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, told CNN that entering the war would have been impossible for the Kurds.
"There was no Kurdish entity, or Kurdish political authority," said Barkey. "Just like many other people who did not have a state, (the Kurds) could not have helped the United States."
"World War II was a war among states and the Kurds weren't a state," Michael Rubin, an expert on the Middle East and resident scholar at the conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute, told CNN. "It's such a nonsensical statement to start with," Rubin said of Trump bringing up Normandy.

Did this idiot go to school? He has no grasp of history nor of current geo-politics. He seems to read (scan) right wing propaganda and re-broadcast any outlandish proposition that suits his agenda. It's simply amazing that he's allowed to get away with it. Fact-checking by the mainstream media doesn't really cut it as generally the damage is done and the Trump acolytes re-distribute his garbage as 'truth' no matter how stupid it is.
