The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: "If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let's work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here."

And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.

And fuck this guy... why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?

There were some riots and fights between Kurds and Turks where I live. Both sides were aggressive, but the Turks started it days earlier. Some Kurds then beat up some teenage Turks. Erdogan, the Turkish president, called the boys personally to support them after the media reported on it.

Long story short, these asshole politicians will use whatever fuel they can use.
