This is old news.

Turkey's march towards an authoritarian state is nearly complete, just a pity for the people it treads on it's long march away from modernity.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What's Trump's excuse?

His hair

Hair breeds intolerance and hate?  That has been your experience?  You should try washing sometime.

Turkey is going through a phase. A shitty Russian inspired phase. Everybody who is not what Erdogan likes needs to watch his or her back.
