I saw a bit of this on the news this morning and it seems that Trumps sanctions are also having an affect of Iran.



The news crew interviewed a guy that had a small business and he said that if it gets any worse he will have to let up to 70% of his employees go.





Turkey is a bit like Iran where instead of a war, tariffs and sanctions might just get the people to rally against their leaders to bring about real change for improvements to be made in their countries.



Of course the Left will ignore the positive outcome that could happen in the long run and blame Trump for hurting people today.

It's long past time. Turkey is not a friend and has not been for a long time. Skewer Erdogan.

Trump just got in some extra kicks on someone who is already down. And enjoyed it. What's the point? Turkey wasn't attacking the US. They are too embroiled in their own domestic troubles. What's with your gloating?

Gosh, and it seems like just yesterday (actually May of 2017) that Trump and Erdie were big pals when Trump invited him to Washington.

Many Democrats will side with anyone who is on the opposite side as Trump, no matter who they are, even Erdogan or the Ayatollah
