President Trump is calling for troops to withdraw from Syria. It’s generated a ton of reaction. Most notably from Lindsey Graham.

It is not FAKE NEWS that Russia, Iran, and Assad are unhappy about our decision to withdraw from Syria.
They are ECSTATIC! https://t.co/7cZgEDBbdT

When it comes to fighting ISIS I do not believe it is wise to outsource the fight to Rusia, Iran, and Assad.
They do not have America's best interests at heart.

Sen. Lindsey Graham President Trump's plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria: "I have tried to help President Trump where I can … but I find myself in the situation where the best way I can help the president is to tell him the truth as I see it." https://t.co/yFdfMe9DR8 pic.twitter.com/QERyTFkbv9

President Trump has responded.
So hard to believe that Lindsey Graham would be against saving soldier lives & billions of $$$. Why are we fighting for our enemy, Syria, by staying & killing ISIS for them, Russia, Iran & other locals? Time to focus on our Country & bring our youth back home where they belong!

People are very, very confused.
Trying to make sense of this tweet is like drowning in salt-water taffy https://t.co/sR56KHrNlA

Yesterday, Trump claimed he had defeated ISIS. Today he says he fought ISIS for Syria, and also that they are not defeated?https://t.co/LKQlME5Khq

Wait, you said we already defeated ISIS… which is it?

Wait, now we're going to stop killing ISIS so that ISIS will fight Syria? https://t.co/6vyajUlAE9
