Hypocrisy in Rebuking Trump. Schumer and The Economist.

Bsd

Schumer Complains About ISIS Terrorists
A proven master of hypocrisy.


Cover article in Economist. October 19, 2019

Who can trust Trump's America?

On the cover. Page 5

"The consequences of Donald Trump's betrayal of the Kurds: leader, page 11.
Removing American troops from Syria triggered a war, abandoned an ally and acted against the national interest: briefing, page 21"

Is the Economist agenda to protect innocent Kurds  from Genocide or to badmouth Trump who they claim "triggered a war and abandoned an ally and acted against national interest".

"Alas shallowness and impulsiveness have become the Hallmark of Mr. Trump's foreign policy....Mr. Trump takes momentous decisions on a whim, without pondering the likely fallout or devising a coherent strategy to contain it"
