    Default Hillary warned Americans Trump would abandon Kurds, put personal business first


    In 2016, Hillary Clinton Warned Trump Might Abandon Kurd Allies Over Turkish Business Interests


    Quote: The national press spent much of September 2016 breathlessly reporting on Hillary Clinton’s every cough, practically begging readers and viewers to ponder whether she might drop dead before Election Day. Meanwhile, Clinton was thinking over questions she had about Donald Trump’s business dealings in foreign countries, like Iran and Turkey.

    In a tweet thread that garnered relatively little attention in 2016, the Democratic nominee for president shared a Newsweek article about Trump’s foreign dealings by Kurt Eichenwald and posted a series of followup tweets with her own thoughts and questions.

    In one tweet, she shared a screenshot in which she singled out two paragraphs from the Eichenwald piece, highlighting a section she found especially concerning—one in which the author noted that Trump, whose numerous business dealings in Turkey include two Trump Towers in Istanbul, Turkey, “would be in direct financial and political conflict with Turkey from the moment he was sworn into office.”

    “When faced with the prospect of losing the millions of dollars that flow into the Trump Organization each year from that Istanbul property, what position would President Trump take on the important issues involving Turkish-American relations, including the country’s role in the fight against ISIS?” the highlighted portion reads.

    The second paragraph in Clinton’s tweeted screenshot poses another question:

    “Turkey is at war with the Kurds, America’s allies in the fight against ISIS in Syria. Kurdish insurgent groups are in armed conflict with Turkey, demanding an independent Kurdistan. If Turkey cuts off the Trump Organization’s cash flow from Istanbul, will Trump, who has shown many times how petty and impulsive he can be, allow that to influence how the U.S. juggles the interests of these two critical allies?”

    “Given that you’ve already questioned our commitments to NATO allies, what is your answer to this?” Clinton asked in the Sept. 14, 2016 tweet.

    The same HRC (and Obama) who refused to send troops to Syria. You, as well as she, are hypocritical buffoons.

    Why are you bringing up Hillary?

    It is sweet that you just started caring about the Kurds

    When are you heading to the local recruiters office to enlist and go fight for the Kurds?
