Trump has allowed Turkey to bomb our forces in Syria with zero repercussions. Where is the outrage?

"Our" forces? What are "our" forces? US shouldn't be in Syria in the first place. Why are we there? What are we doing? What's the prize when we win? What's our plan to win?

There are no answers to these questions. The actual answer is, "eternal war because it's highly profitable."

We should only fight wars that are in our own interest, and then only fight to win.

Are you saying it's fine that our troops were "accidentally" bombed because you don't think we should be there?

Do you honestly think Turkey deliberately bombed US forces? What would they gain from that?

The Pentagon has said that the Turkish military should have known we had units there. This doesnt bother you at all, that another country bombed our troops and the president has said absolutely nothing about it?

I just find it strange that you're insisting this was on purpose when all signs point to it clearly being a mistake. Turkey has been a US ally for 7 decades and both sides have provided crucial support for each other. What would Turkey gain from bombing US forces? You won't find a single benefit. Clearly unintentional.
