So I doubt that he really spends (or needs to spend) much time studying foreign policy. Plus when your foreign policy amounts to "Bring the troops home and stop messing around with other countries" and that's your answer to all foreign policy questions, you don't need to know the specifics about Aleppo.
If you spend even a modicum amount of time reading about what's going on in the world, you would know about Aleppo. To not know what Aleppo is at this point, you pretty much have to have been living under a rock for the last five years.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
