THERE is little about Donald Trump that one can truly be surprised by at this stage in his presidency. Buffoonery and delusion — not to mention racism and incitement to violence — have become normalised during his time in office to a frightening degree.
Still, even if we take the most jaw-dropping quotes of his more than two-and-a-half years in office into account, there is something remarkably horrifying about the comments he has made in recent days since he de facto supported Turkey’s offensive into northern Syria.
That green light was one thing. Another altogether was the so-called “ceasefire” brokered between his administration and Turkey on October 17 several days after the invasion began, and hundreds of casualties later.
