Trump warned Turkish president not to be a 'fool' in Oct. 9 letter
By Morgan Chalfant - 10/16/19 05:27 PM EDT

President Trump wrote a letter to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan last week warning him not to be a “tough guy” or a “fool” as Turkey prepared to launch a military offensive in northern Syria.

Trump threatened sanctions on Turkey in the letter dated Oct. 9 and urged Erdoğan to come to the table so they could “work out a good deal.”

The letter was shared on Twitter by Fox Business host Trish Regan. A White House official confirmed its authenticity to The Hill.

This is a perfect letter.

Dear Mr. President,

Let's work out a good deal! You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy—and I will. I've already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Brunson.

I have worked hard to solve some of your problems. Don't let the world down. You can make a great deal. General Mazloum is willing to negotiate with you, and he is willing to make concessions that they would never have made in the past. I am confidentially enclosing a copy of his letter to me, just received.

History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen. Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!

I will call you later.

    Sincerely,

    Donald Trump

Who can forget the famous words of Ronald Reagan?  "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool. Tear down this wall. I'll call you later."The White House hit "Clown Show Defcon 1" today.Breaking news. I received Erdogan's response:

Dear Putin,

Your fluffer is writing 'letters' again. Lol.
But seriously, let's figure out who gets what parts of Syria.

Turkish president Erdogan 'threw Trump's Syria letter in bin'

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump's letter "in the bin", the BBC has been told.

In the letter dated 9 October, and sent after US troops were pulled out of Syria, Mr Trump told Mr Erdogan: "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!"

Turkish presidential sources told the BBC that the letter was "thoroughly rejected" by Mr Erdogan.

Also, there was an article floating around yesterday that in fact, the "twitter diplomacy" was leaving Erdogan confused. That could be seen as a drawback for using that mode of communication.  Just saying.

It's not breaking news that you've posted something ridiculous, though. SOP.

Title:
"Trump warned Turkish president not to be a 'fool' in Oct. 9 letter"

Next thing you know, the democrat-communists will try to add to the impeachment charges that Mr. Trump is disrespectful of foreign leaders.

Aside:
Erdogan is far worse than a mere fool...
