White House leaked ‘insane letter’ to Fox host — that makes Trump look ridiculously ‘dumb’ – By Bob Brigham (Raw Story) / Oct 16 2019
President Donald Trump was ridiculed on Wednesday after a letter was leaked that President Donald Trump sent to Turkish President Recep Erdoğan.
The letter was sent a week ago, on October 9th.
A copy of the letter, where Trump warned Erdoğan not to be a fool, was obtained by Fox Business personality Trish Regan.
EXCLUSIVE: I have obtained a copy of @realDonaldTrump’s letter to #Erdogan. @POTUS warns him to not “be a tough guy! Don’t be a fool!” Says he could destroy Turkey’s economy if #Syria is not resolved in a humane way. Details tonight at 8pm #TrishRegan #FoxBusiness pic.twitter.com/9BoSGlbRyt

Commentary on the letter was swift — and brutal.
Here’s some of what people were saying:
That bizarre letter was sent a week ago, FYI. Meaning it was…basically thrown in the trash by Erdogan.

Remarkably, Erdogan was not persuaded.

It's impossible to have too low an opinion of President Trump.
It's also impossible to do political satire anymore. https://t.co/PCjGd61UkD

My favorite line after all the bluster, warnings and threats is "I will call you later." https://t.co/HjhcB12nXf

President Trump wrote to President Erdogan.
The letter begins, "Let's work out a good deal!"
The letter ends, "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool! I will call you later." https://t.co/MGWJx6bdz9— Mary Louise Kelly (@NPRKelly) October 16, 2019

The real highlight of this letter is that it was sent a week ago — on October 9, the day the operation began, so Erdogan just completely ignored it https://t.co/Csg7t5lYFs
