Pence and Pompeo, leaving ambassador's residence, stop to pose for photos in front of press, ignore questions about whether Trump's letter makes their job harder today; whether they can get a ceasefire.

As noted in the OP, the letter was given to Fox News first as an exclusive. As if it's something to be proud of.
Of course it's a trade deal.
If this fucker was around in 1938 he'd have been calling Neville Chamberlain a pussy to every newspaper around because Chamberlain didn't do enough to make sure that Hitler had a great deal for not invading Poland.
This should be a new YouTube genre:
World leaders reacting to letters from other world leaders.
Ah remember when Obama was called weak by republicans? Like how fucking dense do you have to be to have your guy be what you accused someone else to be but pretend he is some fucking ace chess player.
Got damn I wish Obama had some fire in him and threw all this shit on their face. He is better than that, I know. But I wish we could plaster how fucking stupid this guy in office is right now.
My god please history never forget about this fool and his administration.

stop worrying about fascist supporters.
Hint: They don't care about anything besides the racism/bigotry/sexism.
I'd be laughing if this disgraceful shit didn't cost the lives of innocent people.
Can't believe I'm about to defend Trump, but his letter doesn't belong in the trash.
It belongs on a fridge.
Trump is horrible, but it's the fact that millions of people still support him that really worries me.
It feels like confrontation wise, Trump painted himself into a corner. It doesn't seem possible for him to be a "tough guy/Alpha" in this scenario without actually offending Erdogan, which he doesn't want to do.
It's so weird to see a US President anxiety-stricken about offending tyrants he wants to be BFFs with, but at the same time wanting to look like the Toughest, No Mercy, No Quarter President the country has ever seen.
Yes. I always knew that there were some really backwards people in certain parts of the US, but I didn't know how many and just how depraved and shameless they could be. I thought they were on the wane.
That's because he's not tough. He just acts tough.
His whole life he's always threatened to sue anybody who spoke poorly of him. He famous bragged that he "doesn't settled out of court" because that's weak. He has, of course, settled out of court numerous times.
Watching Pelosi's press conference about this now.
It is so frustrating listening to her speak. She flubs about every 10th word she speaks by either slurring it, muttering only half of it, or even swallowing after pronouncing the first sylable and never finishing the word.
I need to strain and concentrate to understand what she is saying. All I can think about is that anyone else listening to her would just immediately tune out. We need to get someone who can actually pronounce words correctly in front of the press.

Well he is trying to appear like he is on our side, but he is not.
He's a fucking traitor caught up in too many lies
link?
Also, it better be unintelligible else im gunna call you out bruv..
The best part of this is just how proud The Chosen Orange is of that letter.
His staff had to have given him the thumbs-up on it.
And yes, a copy will be hanging on a wall in a museum some day, so we can look back, show it to your grandkids and have a good laugh.

so...
what can Trump offer to Erdogan ( who isn't doing this for money, but genuinely believes the kurds are evil and wnats to do his safteyzone/scam)
to get a ceasefire?
Because Erdogan seems pretty set on no ceasefire. Its good optics for his political party no? Plus he finally has got what he wanted.

This tweet still delivering, almost 3 years later...
I guess he's already found a way to justify this as devilishly cunning maneuvering that will put the USA in a winning position?
Yes but not just because Trump was voted president. Most countries have a fair share of shitty voters, heck I'm British and we voted for Brexit. The issue with Trump isn't just that hes a nutter, it's that he has one of the two political parties 100% behind him. In the UK we may have Boris as PM but there are still MPs of his own party that are willing to stand up to him but I've only seen one member of congress really stand up to Trump and he was forced to go independent.
There is no point on being an ally of the US, if anytime your crazy connservative side can elect a complete moron as president.
The US was always meh to me, but with the way things are now, the regression, the bleak outlook, the hollowing of the middle-class. It's complete trash to me. Would NEVER consider moving there, ever.
And before anyone jumps down my neck: I'm part american, part european. My dad left the US 30 years ago and never looked back. The lionshare of our family still lives in the US and we visit them every years. My view is not just based on your shit mongrel of a president.
Trump is a symptom of a broken society. America has serious, serious issues.
