President Trump meets with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He in the Oval Office at the White House on Thursday. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)President Trump pushed back Friday on Senate Republicans, who voted overwhelmingly the previous day for a measure that rebuked his rationale for withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria and Afghanistan. “It is now time to start coming home and, after many years, spending our money wisely,” Trump wrote. The measure divided Senate Democrats, with many arguing that rebuking Trump was not worth the cost of greenlighting endless war. Trump’s tweets directed at fellow Republicans marked the second time this week that he has used to Twitter to take aim at allies.
