Forgive me, the political climate made me that way. To fill people in: there has been an attempted coup in Turkey. According to reports on CNN, representatives of President Erdogan are claiming that a faction of the Army are attempting the coup. As I speak, the Erdogan is apparently speaking to a crowd in Istanbul. I know Turkey is a vital ally and one of our few allies in a troubled region.

Hillary Clinton also gave a similar statement via twitter:
Trump on the other hand:

And . . .
See how easy and quick that was able to be turned political? Nuts! Let’s see how this plays out. I am praying for common ground.
