President Trump weighed-in Monday on his decision to drawdown troops operating in northern Syria; saying he would “rather focus on our Southern border.”

“Some people want the United States to protect the 7,000 mile away Border of Syria, presided over by Bashar al-Assad, our enemy. At the same time, Syria and whoever they chose to help, wants naturally to protect the Kurds…. I would much rather focus on our Southern Border which abuts and is part of the United States of America. And by the way, numbers are way down and the WALL is being built!” posted Trump on Twitter.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton escalated her all-out assault on President Trump last Monday; viciously accusing the Commander-in-Chief of “betraying his oath of office.”

“Let us be clear: The president has sided with authoritarian leaders of Turkey and Russia over our loyal allies and America’s own interests. His decision is a sickening betrayal both of the Kurds and his oath of office,” posted Clinton on social media.

Clinton made similar statements during a speaking event over the weekend; labeling Donald Trump an “illegitimate president.”

“The President said that he wished China would also investigate the Bidens… Now, it’s in the open. You know, Trump knows he’s an illegitimate president who got illegitimate foreign help,” said Clinton while promoting her new book.
