'The Soviet Bunion': Hillary Clinton trolls Trump with fake JFK letter

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted a parody of a communication between President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev that echoed a curt, sharply worded letter sent by President Trump to Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan.
The faux correspondence is dated during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and replaces Kennedy's normally stately language with casual slang and profanity. "Don't be a dick, ok?" the fake JFK letter begins. "Get your missiles out of Cuba. Everybody will say 'Yay! Khrushchev! You're the best!' But if you don't everybody will be like 'what an bleep' and call your garbage country 'The Soviet Bunion.'"
Trump's Oct. 9 letter to Erdoğan usurped typical diplomatic language and channeled Trump's blunt way of speaking. "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,†Trump wrote. “I have worked hard to solve some of your problems. Don’t let the world down."
