🙄 Shameful #Trifecta4Trump: In 44 days, @realdonaldtrump has met with leaders of the 3 worst jailers of journalists: #Egypt, #China & #Turkey.
Donald Trump is set to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the White House on Tuesday. Erdoğan’s Turkey was the world’s worst jailer of reporters in 2016– and Trump has already met with the heads of the 2nd- and 3rd-worst jailers of journalists, China’s Xi Jinping and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. When he meets Erdoğan, Trump will complete a troubling trifecta.
