Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had a simple response to President Trump’s Oct. 9 letter warning him against taking action along the Syrian border: He threw it “in the bin.” Sources close to Erdogan confirmed to the BBC Thursday that the Turkish strongman “thoroughly rejected” the letter in which Trump threatened to “[destroy] the Turkish economy” if he took military action in Syria following his announcement several days earlier to withdraw all U.S. troops from the northeast of Syria.

I think Erdogan did it, and I think he’s going to be unpleasantly surprised at the US response.

And now the U.S. and Turkey have agreed to a ceasefire in Syria. Another win for the President and the 129 congress folks would have been better advised to support the President Trump.

And so what if he did throw it in the trash, it doesn't mean he doesn't comprehend the warning.

Don't kid yourself. Erdogan got the message. He didn't like it. Trump is standing up to his bully tactics.

Was it the same trash can Hirohito threw Truman's letter in?

But wait, he agreed to a ceasefire so he must have gotten the "message" one way or another. I think he just was being responsible and put it in the "burn bin" so it could be shredded. The Turks are very strict about recycling.

Sure he did. Just before he agreed to a cease fire. Thanks to President Trump's leadership and bad-ash tactics.

Sources may say, but the reality is a deal was reached.
So much for the credibility of "sources".

Probably more Faux News....
But lets assume for a moment that is true....
That was a really foolish thing to do... He could have sold it on eBay for thousands. What a waste!

If this story is correct, Erdogan will live to rue the day he did not heed the letter's warning. Do not underestimate POTUS DJT! He continues to surprise every day.

Oh come on , Tayyip. Just because you were outmaneuvered by President Trump, don't take it personaly. Just go along with Trump on this one. Unlike the go along to get along crowd, the President has this one right.

I probably would have done the same thing! A clever office worker, though, in Ankara will retrieve and hang onto it. It will be a paper of tremendous historic significance. If you read David Halberstam's book "Teammates" about Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Dorr and Dom Dimaggio on the Red Sox, you might recall that Williams received a note from Ty Cobb, who wanted to give Ted tips on playing the left field wall at Fenway. Williams crumpled it up and threw it away. Bobby Dorr always regretted not saving it.

If Erdogan threw the letter with Trump’s signature in the trash he really is a dummy, as in decades ahead papers bearing Trump’s signature are bound to be worth a lot of money just as papers signed by previous Presidents. Erdogan should have given it to his granddaughter instead.

Erdogan has been moving Turkey toward an Islamic state like that of Iran. Remove the nukes from Turkey before we have an Islamic state with nuclear weapons that views the U.S. the same way Iran Mullahs view the U.S.

I don’t think FOX understands that we hate our enemies, but we have a special burning hatred for turncoats.

So? Being told his plans were going down the drain was obviously going to p#ss him off. Regardless, it brought him to the negotiating table.
