(2,580 posts)Another Trump FAIL!!!
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Someone asked Trump a question he didn't like, and Trump was ragging on the reporter for having his facts wrong about the premise of his question. Trump bragged that he had sent a letter to Erdogan last week, a letter that hadn't been released by the White House (so, why should the reporter be ragged on for not knowing about the unpublished letter?) In mid-scold Trump muttered something about maybe they should have released the letter so everyone could read his sterling prose. Apparently, this October 9 letter is the one Trump is so proud of.

(32,629 posts)I'd love to have this letter encased in glass and permanently mounted in the Oval Office to remind every future President what NOT to do!

(16,616 posts)Tillerson, Cohn, Porter, Kelly, McMaster--not one of them would have allowed this letter to get any further than a trash can. We're on our own now. There's nobody to stop this president from doing, saying, anything.

(25,245 posts)I know Trump writes his own tweets, he probably wrote (dictated) a few business letters back in the day, but I don't think he writes/types official communication. Who typed this??? Someone on twitter noticed the double space after the periods, which indicates the typing is the work of an amateur. Note all of the exclamation marks. A professional, would not have typed with this style, no matter the content of the dictation.
Trump has shown time and time again that he can't type and there is no way that he typed this letter himself.
I kinda think it's fake. If it isn't, can Stephen Miller type?

(19,560 posts)It used to be standard on typewriters, but fell to the wayside as computers took over. I still see it used occasionally among official correspondence.

Can't wait for Jordan, Gaetz, and Nunes to praise him for his "firm" tone.

(23,307 posts)think this is okay on any level? JFC. What a bunch of rank amateurs. I didn't think I could be shocked...but this...THIS?!?!?!?!? Erdogan has to be laughing his ass off. How is the MF going to destroy the Turkish economy exactly?
ecstatic
(32,681 posts)is 100% tongue in cheek bullshit. trump already gave Erdoğan the green light. This letter was simply a CYA move to appease idiots like Lindsey Graham. When or if they talk again, trump will likely tell Erdoğan to proceed as planned.
