Erdogan has always been bad, objectively. However he was useful to America so they kept him in power.
I think Turkey acquiring the S-500(?) missile system while being in the F35 program really set off alarm bells in Washington and I think after the successful coup in Syria and replacement a more pliant regime, Washington has set its sights on Turkey and hope to install an even more compliant regime there.
