Did POTUS back Ertowan explicitly, or more ambiguously "the elected gov't", or "Turkish democracy", etc?

Yes. He hedged his bets.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday urged all sides in Turkey to support the democratically elected government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan amid a military takeover of the key NATO ally.

Kerry said he had stressed in a telephone call with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu the United States' "absolute support" for Turkey's democratically elected, civilian government and democratic institutions. Kerry said he urged all parties to ensure the safety and well-being of diplomatic missions, personnel and civilians across Turkey.

edit - i probably should have wrote kerry and obama, not sure if biden has.

There's something fishy about this coup.

And some reports that the coup was backed by ISIS sympathizers. Certainly comes off as false flag in the smell test but I've also drank copious amounts of Crown tonight so who knows.

This is done. He is going to get it and I actually think he may have a chance to be the next President.

It is pretty upsetting but I'd say 80% of my family and extended family are now Trumpians and in the general central PA area I would say he has almost 80 percent favor. James Carville's quote comes to mind. I don't think Trump is an idiot at all like some think but I do believe he is dangerous.
