Summary
With zero forethought or planning, Donald trump just put out a video that says that we've defeated ISIS and he's bringing home all the troops from Syria. He managed to piss off Republicans and Democrats with this move. First, it gives Putin exactly what he wants. He can now roam free in Syria with zero accountability. Second, it's FAKE NEWS. ISIS is NOT defeated by any stretch. This could end up being a colossal mistake.
We talk to Rep Raul Ruiz (D-CA), Jordan Fabian from The Hill and Ella Nilsen from Vox!
