The Trump admin. announced possible sanctions against Turkey that are not yet activated, Secretary Mnuchin said in a White House press briefing on Friday.
Mnuchin added the "president is concerned about the ongoing military offensive" and “these are very powerful sanctions, we hope we don’t have to use them, but we can shut down the Turkish economy.”
So convincing Steve, you deserve a Oscar.
This seems so dumb but the administration base isn't so smart it seems. Here they create a problem and then set out to fix their mess up.
Financial sanctions now or ANY sanctions will not BRING BACK TO LIFE all those innocent people that are being murdered because we abandoned them!
Yeah, right, whatever.
Yea right... don’t hold your breath
Mnuchin is as nuts as his boss, kind of a collective psychosis around truth, common sense and respect. So the loco president leaves the Kurds to their fate and threatens Turkey w/economic destruction if they move forward? Pure insanity.
I’m sure you won’t
Is this guy for real? What about the people dying there? Your idiot leader could have stopped this.
What a clown!
So he's doing the British Dance the Hokey Cokey
stevenmnuchin1 Just slap them with the sanctions already!! Once they comply, you can raise them again. They've 'accidentally' nearly hit our men, and are killing civilians...children are dying. They've been threatened since day on. Threats aren't working. Take action.
OK this administration causes a crisis, and then tries to fix it with sanctions. Anyone with half a brain saw this coming. The speed with which Turkey executed its invasion shows, it knew that Trump would do this ahead of time. There is deception here.
Him and his bottom lips just really irritate me.
If you just left The troops in there this would not be happening. Shame on trump shame on you shame on the whole administration
Standard operating procedure for Trumpf in and outside of the White House. Photo op to declare action. Take credit for it. Don´t do it.
He honestly looks like a in grown pubic hair off Annette Funicello body
Why is this guy involved with foreign matters?
Bull shit .
Sanctions against Turkey. Don’t make me laugh! What’s T going to do, ban the importation of their rugs and dates? Trump knew damn well what Turkey was going to do as soon as our troops were pulled out. The Turks have already killed over 100 Kurds. This is ethnic cleansing!
I’ve never heard Turkey laugh until now
Yea ok... Munchkin has no balls
Lip service
Mnuchin is a corrupt criminal...!
Oh please...trying to look tough actually emphasizes this Administration’s weakness
Because Putin won’t let us
Yes Trump pulls 50 Troops in the wrong place to kill Christians, puts 1500 in the wrong place. Due the math base only 50 returning home...oh wait there not coming home. Does this make since to you? Research and fact check.He's conning you.He gets elected and he will leave you too
All a show
Is it too soon to suggest Fred Armisen play Mnuchin in the movie version of these events?
Somebody explain this to me?
Mr. Pale & Lame
This guy. Lamprey in a suit. LockThemAllUp
'Not actually doing anything, yet, We're waiting for a few thousand Kurdish deaths reported, then we'll repeat our threats.' Pete&Repeat, Wait&Stall.
zsarrina Over BS that the Potus needlessly started. Turkey had long expressed wanting to do what they are doing now.
Shouldn't you let your wife go shopping over there first?
stevenmnuchin1 gop MarkMeadows senatemajldr GOPLeader LindseyGrahamSC So, exactly when do you think would be ‘necessary’ if not NOW? They have invaded and killing Kurds - how many children? How much suffering? Fix incompetent President’s mess now! Stop shaming our troops.
This is BS. Trump isn't going to do anything. He has properties there. ImpeachAndRemove
Totally despicable man
This one gives me the creeps.
Too late ace
This administration has no clue when it comes to foreign policy.
What a joke. Pretending we have not incited this mess ourselves!
🤦🏻♂️
The Treasury Secretary is threatening this? Is he now also the Acting Secretary of State?
Right 🤮
Blah blah blah
And there we go again Placing unilateral sanctions After yesterday's vote in the UN Security Council which failed to condemn Turkey's actions bc the US sided with Russia America can't count on Allie support What a clusterphuck this admn foreign policy (actually all policies) is
KathyNature How long do we “hope”? How many people have to die? How many children have to be murdered? stevenmnuchin1 realDonaldTrump SyriaWithdrawal
They will not withdraw till both Kurdish YPG and PKK terror camps are dismantled! In addition to that, They will finish up Isis too! Then they will withdraw. Let me guess a month perhaps the least that they need!
LindseyGrahamSC would never allow that to happen, just ask the Russian pranksters! QuidProQuo BloodOnTrumpsHands
You open the door than you sanction them.
Whatever Bullshit Sanctions they are,are meaningless, People are being murdered by Turks, because Trump's personal financial bribes with Erdogan, & Russ./Putin's alliance & orders. Mnuchin, 'Lackey'for All of them, throw him in jail for his compliance in War Crimes against Kurds.
A crisis of their own making.
We hope you go away!! You and you cult leader trump need to make a quick exit!!
These secretaries are like the three stooges....
How can a threat from this creep strike fear in anyone?
