A Fox News anchor posted what appeared to be a parody of a letter President Donald Trump might have written to the President of Turkey, admitting to knowing that if he pulled U.S. troops out of Syria “slaughtering of thousands of people.”
NCRM has independently confirmed via the White House the letter is real, not a parody. Other news outlets have also verified the letter is real.
Many were initially confused by the language of the letter. In it, Trump writes, “Don’t be a tough guy, don’t be a fool.”
“Let’s work out a deal! You don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don’t want to be destroying the Turkish economy—and I will,” Trump also wrote. “Don’t let the world down. You can make a great deal.”
Here is the letter, first posted by Fox Business’ Trish Regan:
UPDATE:
LA Times reporter says Trump shared the letter with Senator Schumer during this meeting which Speaker Pelosi cut short.
