Buffoonish president* Trump makes U.S. a laughingstock to the world.
North Korea has fallen in line, North Korea continues to stockpile nukes.
The "truth" depends on how much faith you put in the word, and the intelligence and understanding, of president* Trump.
We are leaving Syria, because "we won". So blathered the president*, scant days ago. Now, after the truth began to seep in, we get the revision.
We're not leaving "yet" says John Bolton, the neocon warmonger who incongruously now speaks for Trump's "isolationist" foreign policy. Talk about mixed messages coming from both sides of the president's* mouth.
But Trump had to walk back his ill thought pronouncement of the pullout, and Bolton is as good a candidate as anyone to carry Trump's water to the world.
The whole world is laughing at the United States of America under Trump's "leadership".

The timetable for U.S. military leaving Syria has changed. National Security Adviser John Bolton says troops will remain until ISIS is fully defeated and Iran's ambitions in the region are checked.
In other words, years.
Trump will now declare that he won the war in Syria. He talks out of both sides of his mouth, constantly, and the fools known as his followers drink it all up.
He's a fucking disgrace to the office of the President, he's a lying buffoon who is pouting like a toddler because he can't get his way with the stupid wall that will NOT fucking stop shit.
In other words Trump was full of shit a couple weeks ago when he made the Syria-pullout announcement (on twitter, no less).
It is clear that the asshole wants credit BOTH for pulling out (saying we are pulling out) AND for leaving the troops there. That is what a bullshitter con man does. He has found a duped audience for his shit too among the "deplorables" .
The 25th amendment needs to have a clause for mental health and intelligence.
There are doubts that Donald Trump can read at a 6th-grade level.
Trump now claims that he never meant the troops were going to leave Syria "now".
You see, he "means" whatever will help him bs everyone at the moment he is speaking. It is amazing that more of his followers can't realize that.
Trump lies and his followers lap up the shit he spews.
Every time I hear Trump speak I think of this......
They should stencil "The Donald" onto the side of that thing.
I'd like to Photoshop the manure to be coming out of Trump's mouth.

That's a nice manure spreader
'Serious mistake': Erdogan snubs Bolton over Syria Kurds ...
4 hours ago · 'Serious Mistake': Erdogan Snubs Bolton Over Syria Kurds, Blasts U.S. for Double-speak 'Elements of U.S. administration are saying different things,' Turkish president tells lawmakers, after Trump aide said Syria pullout was conditioned on Turkey ensuring the safety of Kurdish fighters
So now we have dictators criticizing the US (somewhat justifiably) for talking out of both sides of it's mouth.
Trump says something, and then when it doesn't go over well he sends a lackey out to walk it back.
The US word around the world is mud.
Turkey will never ensure the safety of the Kurds because Turkey regards them as terrorists.
To me the biggest downside of Trump as PotUS is the international optics. The PotUS is largely the face of the nation and it is embarrassing to broadcast to the world that this is the person we think best represents us.
