Do you agree with Trump's planned withdrawal of US troops from Syria?

Considering it sounds like most of Trump's advisors and the Pentagon were against it and that America is breaking promises that Trump's own administration made, and that we gave our allies no heads up, putting them in a horrible position after they helped us so much...

It seems rather stupid to do it all of sudden... at minimum give our allies a geads up, especially after your own administration promised them that we would be there as long as Iran is... which makes America look like liers and untrust worthy. Then again, I guess that's a direct reflection of the person in the white house... as he has turn his back on some in a heartbeat, and promised one thing and did another.

@Viper That's the basis for his (and his band of followers') understanding of leadership:

1. To win, everyone else must lose.
2. Compassion = weakness.
3. Think of self first, last, and always.

Of course that's not real leadership nor sustainable. But, it is the creed of those who are gutless and failing live by.

@MarkPaul It was reported that Trump did this based off a phone call random promise with the leader of Turkey (who want to wipe out our allies there).

I can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the writer that got killed in Turkey... the President has been trying to help out the Saudis with PR, and Turkey was making the most noise... Is this a favor to shut Turkey up? Why else go against all your advisors?

@Viper Well...

1. He knows more than the advisors, so following them defeats his lines of reasoning. He literally has to do the opposite of what they tell him.

2. While he likes to demean Obama, he seems obsessed with him, and Obama did pull out troops of Iraq too hastily. So, it's a copycat move.

3. No matter what, he needs to be front and center in the news. And, what could get him more front and center then doing something that makes little sense in a way that has no logic attached to it?

Basically, he's a gutless and failing big baby who is literally an enemy to the people.
