Trump quotes of the week

There are many of them, of course. But these two stand out for me:
TRUMP: "We don't have to defend the borders between Turkey and Syria. They've been fighting for 1,000 years. But we did keep the oil if you don't mind. We kept the oil. And we will distribute that oil." pic.twitter.com/o4qU3Czrm5— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 2, 2019
And this one in which the man who repeatedly says he’s a very stable genius takes Beto O’Rourke to task for being a braggart:
Here's the transcript of Trump's comments about Beto O'Rourke and how boastful people are usually not as good as they say they are. pic.twitter.com/1sXVyG4osh— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 3, 2019
You can’t make this stuff up. The lack of self-awareness in the Trump family is pathological Honestly, I think there’s a serious mental problem here.
The oil comment is going to get people killed. It should get Trump sent to the Hague. But the good news is that he’s not a big warmonger like some people. He’s not into meddling in their ethnic cleansing and genocide business. He just wants to use the military to steal resources. So it’s all good.
