And kudos also to the much-decried Ronald Wilson Reagan, who was apparently the only other U S President - no, apparently not James Earl Carter, that great humanitarian especially ever since he left the White House - to similarly name and shame Turkey over its acts of Armenian genocide...
Postscript:
And let's hear a whole lot less similarly pious drivel about the potentially negative economic/financial fallout from such courageous decisions and declarations,
let the truth out and let the cards fall where they well may, the truly godly like their Leader speak the truth though the heavens may well fall in the interim, they simply cannot help themselves...
But do let such bold declarations and denunciations be duly followed up with associated and appropriate actions (by the new American Administration) or people may well conclude that it's just another instance of *pious grandstanding...
*In 'God's Own'/'Godzone' (i.e. Aotearoa-New Zealand) we commonly refer to such these days as virtue-signalling - the act of engaging in the despicable 'art' of self-righteous oneupmanship.
Post-Postscript:
However Pat Robertson & Co (on their daily 700 Club) are right about one thing on this particular matter: Turkey's despot-in-chief Erdogan is not going to be backward in coming forward in (not) forgoing any and every opportunity devolving from such a pronouncement to use it to inexorably propel onwards and downwards his own perverse Middle Eastern designs and thus and so doubtless help in fulfilling last-days' biblical prophecies pertaining to that very contentious corner of the globe!
