Authoritarian leader and not our kurdish allies? >> im not siding with anybody. weve been in syria for many years. syria was supposed to be a short-term hit. just a very short-term hit. and we were supposed to be in and out. i dont want anything bad to happen to our people and i told that to president erdogan. i said dont hurt any of our people, get any of our people get hurt, big trouble. >> those remarks saw the presidents tweet threatening to quote totally destroy and obliterate turkeys econo...

I guess the one precedent they cite is like king georgi iii. and if you want to go back to that, fine, but we had a revolution about this. and the idea that we can have an american president who according to them cant be indicted, cant be investigated, and indeed ev because that would be a coup, well, that is effectively what a king is. and thats exactly what our american system rebels against. >> neal katyal gets tonights last word. thanks very much for joining us again tonight, neal. really ap...

Decision to pull u.s. troops out of northern syria hours after that phone call. the move clears the way for a turkish military operation in the region. it also leaves our closest regional ally in our fight against isis, the kurds, who have fought side by side with us for years, open to attacks from turkey, which views the kurdish forces to be a terrorist insurgency, every one of them. nbc news reports trumps decision blindsided kurdish forces as well as senior officials at the pentagon, as you m...

And its a tremendously successful job. its called trump towers, two towers, instead of one. not the usual one, its two. >> so, general, what does that tell you? >> its appalling on the face of it. it seems as if the president has made a decision directly harming u.s. national security, and he did it two times now in one-on-one conversations with erdogan, who he thinks is important to his private business interests. by the way, his language throughout this, the tweets, "in my infinite wisdom," th...

>> so general, what does that tell you? >> its appalling on the face of it. it seems as if the president has made a decision directly harming u.s. national security, and he did it two times now in one-on-one conversations with erdogan who he thinks is important to his private business interests. by the way, his language throughout this, the tweets, "in my infinite wisdom," this is bizarre, unsettling, strange language out of a president of the united states. i think were in trouble. it looks to ...

How presidents get themselves into trouble. >> after the backlash, the president tweeting, if turkey does anything that i, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider offlimits, i will totally obliterate and destroy the economy of turkey. but there are now also fears about these detention camps. holding tens of thousands of isis fighters and their families. the kurds say they now have to focus on defending themselves, not securing the camps. lets bring in nbc news chief foreign correspondent rich...

I think he uses twitter basically to outrage people and get people talking about things on his terms rather than what otherwise might be driven by the news. so i try to sort of steer clear. that said, i do watch what he says, even if i dont talk about it a lot. the president today online opining apparently in all seriousness about what he calls, quote, my great and unmatched wisdom. as i have stated strongly before, just to reiterate, if turkey does anything that i comma, in my great and unmatch...
