Convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday told reporters on Air Force One that his meeting with Syrian warlord-turned-President Ahmed al-Sharaa aka Abu Mohammad al-Julani went “great,” adding he’s a “young, attractive guy. Tough guy. Strong past. Very strong past. Fighter… I think he’s got the potential to do – he’s a real leader. He led a charge and he’s pretty amazing.”
It’s not clear if Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard agrees with Trump’s assessment of the questionable figure who nonetheless led the rebellion that finally ousted her patron, Bashar Al-Assad last December. Probably depends on if Sharaa is paying her a similar amount for lobbying.
