Clinton mocks Trump's Turkey letter with Jimmy Kimmel joke – but move quickly appears to backfire

Hillary Clinton on Sunday posted a flowery fake letter from President John F. Kennedy to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to mock President Trump's recent, casually worded missive to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, but the Twitter mockery quickly blew back in Clinton's face, with commentators across the political spectrum suggesting the former secretary of state shouldn't relish so openly in Twitter trolling.

What's more, users quickly noted that Clinton's team had lifted the letter, without attribution, from a segment on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that aired this past Wednesday night.

The kerfuffle came as Clinton's feud with Tulsi Gabbard has prompted speculation that she might enter the presidential race — and a dare from Gabbard to do just that.

"Dear Premier Kruschev," the mock letter "from the archives" during the Cuban Missile Crisis began, "Don't be a d--k, ok? Get your missiles out of Cuba. ... Give you a jingle later. Hugs."

Her staff must be a bunch of fawning toadies and lickspittles.

[thinden]

She needs to get off that 100 proof

[going hot]

She does, get off on it.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

She destroyed millions of lives in Libya & Syria.

She should spend the rest of her vile life in a cage.

She should spend the rest of her vile life in a cage.

She should, but she won’t ever be held accountable for anything. God is the only one who will hold her accountable, so we will just have to wait. It’s not going to happen in this life. I wish it were different, but that’s reality.

[sport]

I have arrived at the same conclusion.

It’s not going to happen in this life. I wish it were different, but that’s reality.

do you really believe that bloated, drunken toad isn't aleady paying in this life for her evil?     I do.

The day is coming and this is the way it ought to be. Helps with the Hillary blues. First 40 sec did the trick for me. Will have to keep this one on file for that day...

The Death of Hillary Clinton

"Her staff must be a bunch of fawning toadies and lickspittles. "

Do you mean lickety-splits?

She will spend the rest of her life in the lap of luxury, flying first class and on private jets, eating food you and I will never sample, staying at deluxe hotels and will have the best medical care in the world.

[2ndDivisionVet]

No, Google the word.

[Aria]

She will spend the rest of her life in the lap of luxury, flying first class and on private jets, eating food you and I will never sample, staying at deluxe hotels and will have the best medical care in the world.

And the whole time it will eat her up that Trump, a non-politician, jumped in and got what she spent her whole life trying to get. She married a guy who continuously humiliated her, she lied, cheated and stole, she fought off being too sick to do it, and still...she didn't make it. And now she can't let go.

I despise her. We dodged a nuke thanks to Donald Trump.

[ptsal]

lickspittles seems to be the right word

[jmacusa]

It isn’t possible for this creature to be humiliated. One must have a sense of morality and shame to be humiliated. She posses neither.

That’s true bro. Right now, I think the only suffering she is experiencing, is the frustration, that she is not in the White House.

[exDemMom]

Right now, I think the only suffering she is experiencing, is the frustration, that she is not in the White House.

And she is eaten up with it. The fact that she is not president, finally putting the last nail into America as a free nation and indulging in unimaginable levels of corruption obsesses her, much like the fictional Arab and the white whale. I can only hope that it destroys her.

[Mark17]

I can only hope that it destroys her.

Yep. I do not wish her well, at all. I wish her only heartache. At the end of her sorry life, she must face the Lord, the righteous judge. Oh well, sucks to be her.

[exDemMom]

Indeed.

I just noticed that my “Ahab” in the previous post was autocorrected to “Arab.” I guess my iPad is not literate. (I had to go back and uncorrect “Ahab” in this post.)

[King Moonracer]

Yeah, well, I hope she has hemorrhoids real bad.
