As Twitchy told you, Lindsey Graham is not happy about Donald Trump’s seemingly “out of left field” decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. So, naturally, Trump’s going after Graham on Twitter:
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!

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

The smartest and goodest.
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

Why would anyone be fighting ISIS when, according to you, they’ve already been defeated?

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

In today's tweets that haven't aged well, I present to you one from just yesterday. ? https://t.co/WbWlk8ejru

To be fair, 24 hours is a long time.
Wait, now we're going to stop killing ISIS so that ISIS will fight Syria? https://t.co/6vyajUlAE9

ISIS has been defeated.
Also now it’s Russia and Syria’s turn to fight ISIS.

It should go without saying that we are not “fighting for our enemy, Syria, by staying & killing ISIS.”
Defeating ISIS — a terrorist org that has killed Americans and inspires, plans, & carries out terrorist attacks around the world — is in America’s own strategic interests. https://t.co/G1w72Z0qXV

Stop Killing ISIS, said the American President. https://t.co/pBikHbNLfr

It's just too expensive, apparently.

We’ll just leave this here before we go:
Damning report from FNC's Jennifer Griffin.
– Syria decision came after being Erdogan warning
– Couldn't find official who backed decision
– Allies "likely to be slaughtered"
– "no one will ever work or fight with us in the Middle East again"https://t.co/ZGb9nuukD6— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) December 20, 2018
