CNN Mocks Trump Letter to Erdogan: 'Isn't Exactly Ph.D. Level'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/17/2019 7:09:02 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

New Day co-hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota on Thursday took turns reading out loud a letter that President Trump recently sent to Turkish President Recep Erdogan. The letter contained blunt language in which Trump urged Erdogan not to be a "tough guy" or a "fool."

Berman then turned to Jim Acosta, CNN's White House correspondent, and Trump antagonist extraordinaire, and sneeringly said: "We have this letter with this language that isn't exactly at Ph.D. level."

It never ceases to amaze me how arrogant, clueless and truly stupid our media continues to be in the Age of Trump. The president singlehandedly is running circles around these fools despite not having his “Ph.D”! If the 45th President of the United States is so stupid then explain how an entire media complex, the entire federal government complex with unlimited funding from the treasury still can’t drive this man out of office?

Every morning, at 9AM, Zucker delivers the slant of the day, and gives them the orders on what to say or slant.

So you think about this....who exactly gave Zucker the words or ‘slant’? No one ever asks that question. It would be curious who he meets between 7 and 8:30, and prep’s him for his daily call.

CNN thought it was mocking President Trump. But in reality, it succeeded only in exposing the elitist condescension that typifies the liberal media.

BINGO!

The letter:

THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

October 9, 2019

His Excellency
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
President of the Republic of Turkey
Ankara

Dear Mr. President:

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. I've already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Brunson.

I have worked hard to solve some of your problems. 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 would never have made in the past. I am confidentially enclosing a copy of his letter to me, just received.

History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. 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.

Sincerely,

[Signed Donald J. Trump]

I wonder if Dr. Erdogan got the message.

Go ahead laugh...I can just see Erdogen throwing the letter in the bin...but think about it, Folks,

this is the kind of letter sent by a person, who really doesn’t give a shyte what you think. He is confident and secure in his own head that he holds a Royal Flush.

Funny, he doesn’t have to send any troops or threaten to send, nor does he have to bomb some target.

Nope. He simply sends a letter, that is read around the world.

These are the same people who thought Obama was such an elegant speaker.

I ask the plant manager a question once...(Yeah I really did)

‘You went to collage didn’t you? Well answer this question.’

Rabbits eat grass and plants and their $hit comes out in little balls.

Sheep and deer eat grass and plants and their $hit comes out in little balls.

Horses eat grass and plants and their $hit comes out bigger balls but balls none the less.

Cows eat grass and plants and their $hit comes out in one giant plop. Why is that?

The manager said he didn’t know.

I said...all that time and money in collage and you don’t know shit!

The President wanted to make sure you could read it, MSM.

This from the left who are moving children away from even being able to read cursive. My grandchildren couldn’t read the Declaration of Independence if their freedom depended on it.

How immature. I thought that leftist elitists were supposed to be smart.

".... 'Isn't Exactly Ph.D. Level'...."

Well, it didn't have to be PhD level. Erdogan is not a PhD. He's a thug.

Trump was just talking on Erdogan's level to make sure he got the message loud and clear.

The democRAT elites and their liberal MSM are more concerned about appearance and niceties than on results.
