    For those who don't know, President Trump recently wrote an insane letter to the President of Turkey that reads like something a middle school kid would write.

    Is this the great "negotiator" we were promised?

    I've never seen so much begging and whining and pleading and threatening by a grown man. This is honestly an embarrassment and I wonder if this is something that Republicans will proudly stand behind.

    We also just bombed one of our own bases to keep Turkey from taking it after hastily retreating from it — and we have nuclear weapons at their airbase which trump falsely claimed was ours.

    Is this what winning and world respect looks like?

    It's either "begging and whining and pleading" or "threatening". It can't be both. Which is it?

    Stop making crap up.

    I'm not quoting Trump. I'm explaining the impression that this letter gives.

    I thought Trump is supposed to be some master negotiator. Here he is throwing what little bargaining chips he has on the table and pleading with Turkey.

    It is not your normal diplomatic letter, I’ii give you that. But at least it seems that his heart is in the right place. He’s always trying to pull off deals. In his phone call to the Ukranian leader he suggested that the guy make a deal with Putin too. Trump’s is always trying to pull off a great deal. Get me some dirt on Biden, I’ll give you the geech, deal? He is entertaining but he’s definitely way out of his league.

    Well, your impression is way off and is just your personal opinion which means diddly squat.

    So you stand behind this letter? This is how low you will let the bar go regarding the office of the POTUS?

    I think a big part of Trump’s charm to many people is that he’s even stupider than them and yet he made it to the top of the heap.

    I can see the response of Turkey’s President when that letter is delivered ... “So you say they found this stuffed in my old high school gym locker ...?”

    Perhaps you prefer "tell Vlad I'll be more flexible after the election".

    I guess lefties now prefer military action instead of negotiating.

    Almost like they are competing over who can be the worst. To date I think trump has obama beat

    Left-wingers were against war before they were for it.

    Maybe Trump should bomb 7 Muslim countries, issue record number of drone strikes and oust a foreign leader, but only after he receives the Nobel Peace Prize of course.

    When all you can do is to deflect to a man you despise as justification for your narrative you have likely sold out your integrity. Care to stay on topic for once in 29 thousand posts? It’ll be hard but I have no faith in you.

    Well, even a middle schooler would be able to the letter-writer was in a desperate fix and wouldn't bother even to reply to Trump, but the spelling is mostly correct.

    Grade is a C-
