Raser’s Edge: Back in the 1950s, Art Linkletter did a very popular sketch called “Kids say the Darndest Things.” I am now launching a political observation called, “Trump says the Dumbest Things.” This is the first one:

Trump says the dumbest things: Here is what Trump said about justifying his pulling out of Syria and abandoning America’s Kurdish allies: “And as somebody wrote in a very, very powerful article today, they didn’t help us in the Second World War. They didn’t help us with Normandy, as an example.” One, that “somebody” was not identified, and two, there is no logical connection as to why Kurds not helping us in WW2 on the Normandy invasion has anything to do with us abandoning them now. Please note: We have over 50,000 troops stationed in Japan. We have about 35,000 of our American troops stationed in Germany. So, Mr. Trump, how did the Japanese and Germans help us with Normandy?
