This letter Trump sent to the president of Turkey is so embarrassing, some suspect it is a parody

Trish Regan of Fox News has obtained a copy of the letter Donald Trump sent to President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, and it is so bad, so incompetent, so embarrassing that people are wondering if it is real. Unfortunately, it is. Here is the content of the letter:
Dear Mr. President:
Lets work out a good deal! You dont want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I dont want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economyand I will. Ive already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Brunson.
I have worked hard to resolve some of your problems. Dont 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. I am confidentially enclosing his letter to me, just received.
History will look upon you favorably if you get this the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things dont happen. Dont be a tough guy. Dont be a fool!
I will call you later.
Dont be a fool! I will call you later.

That is a real letter, and we are in real danger with this man in charge of national and global security. On the very day that letter was sent, Turkish and Syrian rebels went on the attack. It is truly a wonder there havent been more whistleblowers from the Intelligence community who are witnessing Donald Trumps incompetence and unsteady leadership up close and personal. The sooner this man is out of the White House, the better off the entire world will bewith the exception of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan.

"It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things dont happen. Dont be a tough guy. Dont be a fool!"

Googled, but articles are from Fox and Washington Examiner. I won't click on that insanity.
