    US officials have been lying to Trump - and the American people - about the true number of US troops in Syria in order to deter him from withdrawing them, according to the outgoing Syria envoy. Trump thinks it’s 200 😂😂. By @KatieBoWillhttps://www.defenseone.com/threats/2020/11/outgoing-syria-envoy-admits-hiding-us-troop-numbers-praises-trumps-mideast-record/170012/ …

        To be clear, I am not implying this is actually funny. I used the weeping laugh because it is tragicomic. The joke is on Trump, who told so many lies, for being so easily lied to by his officials. It’s a tragedy that they think it’s OK to lie to Americans....

        ...about the scope of their involvement in foreign wars. And it sets a very dangerous precedent.

        No. This isn't funny. Think about the precedent this sets. This is all kinds of dangerous. So the next time the Pentagon disagrees with the elected President of the United States they will do what? The people responsible for this need to be charged and thrown into jail.

        It would be a lot easier and would solve more problems by throwing Trump into jail.

        Horrifying. Both that they did that and that they had to do that.

        There is no "had to". They didn't have to do it, and they shouldn't have. This is treasonous.
