It was leaked to a woman at Fox Business, meaning it almost certainly came from the Trump White House because they thought it made Trump look tough or some such nonsense... just yesterday Lindsay Graham was bragging about the tough letter Trump sent Erdogan!What's funny is Fox wants to show this as an example of how tough Trump is lmaooooooooo
These are the letters he writes to other nations? Just...what. What.
PFffaahahahahaha... i would have LOVED to see Erdogan's face when he read this.

When...
-Turkish forces entered Syria like the next day
-Erdogan said he would refuse to meet with Pence and Pompeo
As with the "perfect" phone call... Now imagine all the insane Trump letters they're not releasing!
Makes him look very weak as well.So I'm assuming this letter is coming out now to "prove" that Trump didn't want Turkey to do anything bad.
I'm not sure it has the intended effect. Erdogan completely ignored this tripe and did exactly what everyone knew he'd do. Trump's a fucking loser.
Exactly... this is the kind of thing that Trump thinks makes him look good, and Fox apparently agrees since they didn't immediately kill it and tell him he looks like a fucking idiot
I just... good god, what do you even say lol
THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS REAL
Breaking it out from the main Turkey thread since it really needs its own because WTAF.
That is how I read it. Completely undermined the negotiation position of the SDF, if such a thing would have ever happened. Art of the deal.
This...wow...I just don't understand this. I feel like I'm living in Twin Peaks or something. Reality has become unrecognizable to me.
Why do I have a very sinking feeling that this dumbass pres is going to offer up our nukes in Turkey (HAHA! Another thing we just learned today wheeee!!) as some sort of last-minute leverage?....
Perfect
I tought they want tough and strongmen.Republicans love it, though. It's him showing "strength" as Mike Pence would say. This is what they want in a leader.
