Pat Robertson rebukes Trump for pulling troops out of Syria
(Mediaite) – Televangelist Pat Robertson has joined the chorus of conservative critics lambasting President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. forces out of Northern Syria — endangering America’s Kurdish allies. Trump was slammed by many of his usual defenders on Monday after the White House announced the U.S. will allow for a Turkish military operation in the war-torn region. Trump argued in a statement that
Turkey will assume responsibility for all ISIS fighters captured in the region, many of whom were detained by Kurdish forces allied with America. The Turkish government views these Kurdish militias as terrorists — despite the U.S. supporting them in the fight against ISIS. Trump shot back at his critics on Twitter by defending his position while promising that “if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey.” Robertson said he was “absolutely appalled” by the announcement, warning that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a “thug” and a “dictator.” READ MORE

Pat ran for office and lost, that is what I think of what he has to say. Can’t prove this, but I see a pretty powerful hand in Trump’s win in 2016 and I for one would not be second guessing our President as a result of that one factor. If Trump’s win was a result of that higher power, going against what that being wants is pretty low on my “to-do” list. God is in control, and all of us need to keep that fact in mind. This nation (USA) is already under judgement, I see that by all the false shepherds we have amongst us, why try and ask for more of the same by being at odds with the Creator?
