I remember a time when a US President's letter would not be thrown in the trash

President Recip Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey threw the bizarre and threatening letter that President Donald Trump sent to him into the trash, the BBC reports. The widely ridiculed letter from Trump, revealed on Wednesday, urged Turkey not to invade northern Syria and told Erdogan: “Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool!” He added in the letter sent last week: “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.” The letter reportedly received a furious response from Erdogan. Turkish government sources told BBC News: “President Erdogan received the letter, thoroughly rejected it and put it in the bin.” On the day the letter was received, Turkey launched a cross-border offensive against Kurdish-led forces in Syria.

Shameful. We are better than this.

1. One Dem who was in the meeting said yesterday on CNN that he

would "frame it" and hang it on the wall because "we're unlikely to see anything like it again, hopefully." (paraphrase)

2. I guess "Valley Girl" doesn't translate well to Turkish...

4. A sentence consisting of nothing but various intonations of "fer shur"...

...would still be more coherent than Trumpspeak.

3. If I got a letter from Trump I'd wipe my ass with it and mail it back to him (n/t)
