Political Quotes

“President Donald Trump has another historic achievement for peace and prosperity in the Middle East, reducing threats to Americans at home and abroad. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday: ``Syria has joined the U.S.- led mission to defeat Islamic State . . . after President Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met at the White House.'' This meeting was the first of a Syrian head of state to visit the White House in the 8,000-year history of Damascus. It was promoted by Ambassador Tom Barrack, the tireless Trump envoy for Syria, and Admiral Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command. I personally appreciate the Trump triumph as, last November, I was condemned by the Syrian dictator, Assad, as an enemy of the state weeks before he fled to Moscow. Mr. Speaker, 8 months later, I was a guest in the Damascus office of Assad with the new President and Senator Jeanne Shaheen. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump with attacks on civilians.”
