Trump's own senior administration official admits he will 'recklessly put American lives in danger' with Syria pullout

A senior Trump administration official admitted to CNN's Jake Tapper Wednesday that the president's surprise pullout from Syria is a dangerous move for both Americans and people in Syria.

"Senior officials across the Administration agree that the President’s decision-by-tweet will recklessly put American and allied lives in danger around the world, take the pressure off of ISIS allowing them to reconstitute, and hand a strategic victory to our Syrian, Iranian, and Russian adversaries," the unnamed administration official told the CNN host.

The source went on to call the move "a mistake of colossal proportions" and said Trump "fails to see how it will endanger our country.”
