Jumblat Hits Out at Trump and 'Trump-Like' Lebanese Leaders

W460

Progressive Socialist Party leader ex-MP Walid Jumblat on Friday criticized the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, amid an escalating standoff between Washington and Tehran.

“Where to? Yes, where to? Today more than ever I'm thinking of this question: to where is the world being dragged by America's ruler and to where are we being dragged by those who are like him in Lebanon?” Jumblat asked in a tweet.

He had recently compared Free Patriotic Movement chief and Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil, who is President Michel Aoun's son-in-law, to Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Didn't this sectarian warlord say he is retired from politics?

No one with a brain supports any of these warlords. But then again you wouldn't know about that.

Jumblat rejects the whole idea of electing leaders in free, fair elections, unlike Lebanon, whose Article 24 awards half of parliamentary seats to Christians, so-called, regardless of election results.
