All right. So we're hearing reports about Turkey's president Erdogan and how he reacted to Trump's let's say way too casual letter which was also a little bit threatening. So you all read the letter by now. His friendly letter to Turkish president in which he basically said hey let's be friends but if you don't want to be friends I will crash your economy. I did it before so don't be a fool. Play it smart. And the report is Erdogan read that letter and threw it in the trash. And then there's another report about he's somehow threatened that we'll pay for this insult. You know he'll get us back for the insult.

Here's how you should respond to that letter or how you should respond to those reports. Nobody knows what Erdogan did when he read the letter. Do you think we really had somebody in the room and there's somebody who accurately reported that Erdogan read the letter and crumpled it up and threw it in the trash? I mean maybe. Maybe it's possible. But there's no such thing as an accurate report about what happened in the room in Turkey. That's the stupid report. I mean it's possible but nobody knows that. That's not a credible report. You should not take that as meaning anything. Likewise whatever Erdogan is thinking about the letter. We assume he didn't like it but was it a letter that was written with the hope that the recipient would like the letter? It was not. It was written with the intention of threatening him in public. The letter was written as a threat. Should we expect Erdogan to like being threatened? No. Should we expect that he would like being essentially insulted by the letter? No we should not expect him to like that. But he is a NATO ally and he probably needs to work with us and we probably need to work with Turkey. So does it make any difference? Probably not. Probably not. Makes no difference.
