President Trump shot off a very direct letter to Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, according to Fox News‘s Trish Regan, who obtained a copy.
Trump warned the Turkish president doesn’t want to be responsible “for slaughtering thousands of people,” and that Trump - consequently, doesn’t “want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy,” adding “and I will.”
“I have worked hard to solve some of your problems,” Trump continues.
“Don’t let the world down. You can make a great deal. General Mazloum is willing to negotiate with you, and he is willing to make concessions that they never would have made in the past.”
“History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way,” Trump said, adding “It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don’t happen.”
“Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool!
I will call you later.”

The letter follows Erdogan’s Wednesday refusal to speak with Vice President Mike Pence regarding a cease-fire agreement in Syria, after Trump said he would send Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to negotiate.
Erdogan told Sky News, “I’m not going to talk to them. They will be talking to their counterparts. When Trump comes here, I’ll be talking.” National security advisor Robert O’Brien and the special representative for Syria, James Jeffrey, are also slated to be on the trip.
Turkey's president @RTErdogan tells @AlexCrawfordSky he will not speak with the US Vice President about a ceasefire in Syria during his visit - adding that he will only talk to President @realDonaldTrump.

Hopefully the NSA / CIA / NSC and FBI will fill us in on the details of Trump’s next call with the Turkish leader, which the White House will have to correct with a transcript.

Yea like any of the alphabet agencies will actually tell the truth. Especially since they are part of the “coup”. Great for the USA though, as the President always comes out with what actually happened.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Spot on….Trump is doing the right thing. The dimwit democrats (Obama) cause this mess and Trump is trying to clean it up.
Obama and Hillary created Isis and Isil. Obama divulging our battle plans only empowered them. Dropping record numbers of ordinance on empty locations to fool Americans into thinking he was doing something only raised our National Debt. Nothing more.
meet me half way
True muslims pretending to be freedom fighters, it is Trump who is being played for a fool.
Why would we ever send our POTUS into enemy territory. They should only meet in a neutral surrounding.
