Trump tonight tweeted that he doesn't know who Brett McGurk is, the U.S. envoy to the coalition fighting the Islamic State.

McGurk has literally been the American leading the fight against ISIS.

4. Close. It appears it was Erdogan.

Although a senior Trump administration official who briefed reporters last week said that Trump merely informed Erdogan of his plans with withdraw, other U.S. officials as well as Turkish officials have told NBC News that Trump agreed to pull out of Syria during the call after Erdogan argued that with ISIS nearly defeated, there was no need for U.S. troops to stay.

2. Such a sorry, lazy son of a bitch, never bothered to learn anything about...

the people working for him in such an important post in a volatile region of the world.

God help us.

The country can't survive this fool making impulsive, uninformed decisions which benefit Putin and ISIS for much longer.

Every day reveals even more how dangerous he is for the country.

3. Agree. A "Commander in Chief" who doesn't know the leadership that protects the country.

8. I like what you said about the sorry lazy son of a bitch never bothering to learn anything...

about the people working there as well (and I am assuming this on my part) about the things going on there.

His whole ilk, his voters that support him are like this too.

They don't realize that things are going on in the world that truly impacts them and their lives in a whole lot of different ways. They just don't think about it (chose to be ignorant about it), and think only of their own selfish lives.

This is dangerous. Things will happen and one needs to be at least somewhat intelligent enough about what's going on in order to invest, to buy things at the right time, to pick and chose the right medicines, foods, etc., in short, all of the decisions that life demands. If one is not intelligent about this, they could possibly die. Period.

It's disturbing to me, this whole mentality and these are also the people who are getting left behind in good paying jobs, unable to go to college because of poor grades, unable to advance themselves because they are not bettering themselves and instead, choose to ridicule those that do. They have their heads in the sand.

Take care and happy and/or merry XMAS!

12. You too, SWB...

5. Here is Trump's tweet...

@realDonaldTrump

Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!

6. And Susan Rice weighs in on Trump's tweet about not knowing Brett McGurk

@AmbassadorRice, 47m47 minutes ago

Susan Rice Retweeted Donald J. Trump
The fact that you say you don’t know @brett_mcgurk speaks volumes about your commitment to fighting ISIS @realDonaldTrump. Why don’t you know the man who has done more than any civilian to degrade ISIS? I can assure you @BarackObama knows him well.
