If Biden recognizes the Armenian Genocide, I'll take off my Tilley hat to him.

Trump was so far (financially) up Erdogan's lower intestine that he could not bring himself to do it. Not that he would have cared either way being a sociopath and all.

Good job, Erdogan!

Trump and Erdogan go back some ways to when Erdogan was the mayor of Constantinople and Trump was leasing his name (and maybe even, though i doubt, involved in some actual construction) to highrise buildings.

They never got along. But the envy on Trump's part was there considering Erdogan had the "art of the grift" down pat.

Erdogan also has the art of police repression and locking up journalists down pat. Trump the "fascist" is an amateur compared to this guy.

Of course, hence the envy for strongmen.
