Trump vows allies won't 'take advantage' after Mattis exit

[signalmankenneth]

Washington (AFP) - President Donald Trump vowed Monday that allies would no longer "take advantage" of the United States, taking a shot at Defense Secretary Jim Mattis who resigned over Syria.

Trump, turning to Twitter after days of criticism over his decision to pull US troops out of Syria, denied charges that he was rejecting allies.

But he said that "these same countries take advantage of their friendship with the United States."

"We are substantially subsidizing the Militaries of many VERY rich countries all over the world, while at the same time these countries take total advantage of the U.S., and our TAXPAYERS, on Trade," he tweeted.

"General Mattis did not see this as a problem. I DO, and it is being fixed!"

Amid open concern about the Syria pullout from allies including France and Germany, Trump tweeted in all capital letters: "AMERICA IS RESPECTED AGAIN!"

Trump is a fucking dumbass for pulling out of Syria now before there is an Agreement between the Assad Government/Russia/Iran and the Northern Federation of Syria.
He's stabbing our Loyal Friends in the back and handing over everything east of the Euphrates to Assad/Russia/Iran. He's telling Turkey "Sure, go ahead and massacre our Loyal Friends, we'll get out of your way".

At this point, the US Military should stage a coup, arrest Trump as a fucking Traitor, incarcerate him until there is a Trial. As much as I detest Ayatollah Pence, he can't be this fucking stupid.
