Donald Trump Says Isis Fighters Will 'Be Escaping to Europe' After His Decision to Withdraw From Syria

Donald Trump Says Isis Fighters Will 'Be Escaping to Europe' After His Decision to Withdraw From Syria
ABC News

Despicable.

President Donald Trump faced bipartisan backlash upon announcing that the United States would be abandoning its Kurdish allies in Northern Syria after the Kurd's fought in place of Americans against ISIS. The United States had provided Syrian Kurds protection from a Turkish invasion and certain ethnic cleansing.

Days after Trump made the announcement, Turkey began an aggressive invasion into the region.


Along with the ethical ramifications of the United States abandoning its ally, Republican lawmakers expressed the likelihood that a Turkish invasion could open the door for a resurgence of ISIS and lead to the escapes of many ISIS fighters, nearly all of whom are in Kurdish custody.

At an appearance to sign Executive Orders on infrastructure, Trump dismissed concerns that ISIS fighters would escape, and—with his words—disregarded another ally in the process.

Watch below:

One reporter asked Trump about the possibility of ISIS fighters escaping to cause harm elsewhere, Trump said:

"Well, they're gonna be escaping to Europe. That's where they want to go, they want to go back to their homes, but Europe didn't want them from us. We could've given it to them, we could have had trials. They could've done whatever they wanted, but as usual, it's not reciprocal.  You know, my favorite word: 'Reciprocal.' That's all I want."

The apparent lack of concern for militant terrorists infiltrating Europe was a new low in an already astonishing display of Trump's isolationism.

People are uncertain whether or not Republicans will speak out against Trump's apathy toward an ISIS resurgence.

No Republican has spoken out against Trump's comments about ISIS prisoners escaping to Europe.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
