.MaddowBlog: Why does Pres. Trump think we’ve ‘taken control’ of Middle Eastern oil?
On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump tried again to defend his highly controversial policy in Syria, telling reporters, “We’ve taken control of the oil in the Middle East, the oil that we’re talking about; the oil that everybody was worried about. We have – the U.S. has control of that.”
The president eventually deleted this, probably because his Defense secretary’s name is Mark Esper, not Mark Esperanto. But that wasn’t the only problem with the missive. For another, the assertions Trump tweeted appear to be completely wrong. The “ceasefire” hasn’t stopped the violence; the “skirmishes” haven’t ended; the Kurds still have nowhere to go; U.S. troops are not out of harm’s way; and American servicemen and women are not on their way “home.”
