Following Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's forces' attack on northern Syria, President Trump wrote a warning letter to the foreign leader, warning him not to be "a tough guy" or "a fool".
Below is how the letter began:
"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."
45 then went on to refer past economic sanctions placed on Turkey to release an imprisoned American pastor, calling it "a little sample" of what he would do if the Turkish president did not heed his warning.
EXCLUSIVE: I have obtained a copy of @realDonaldTrump’s letter to #Erdogan. @POTUS warns him to not “be a tough guy! Don’t be a fool!” Says he could destroy Turkey’s economy if #Syria is not resolved in a humane way. Details tonight at 8pm #TrishRegan #FoxBusiness pic.twitter.com/9BoSGlbRyt

The letter then read, "I have worked hard to solve some of your problems. Don't let the world down. You can make a great deal," Trump wrote, asserting that the commander of the Kurdish forces is "willing to negotiate with you... 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!"
This letter was written the same day that the Turkish military began their assault on Kurdish forces who were allied with the U.S. in the fight against ISIS. The assault was initiated after Trump told the Turkish President that he's pull American forces out of the area.

I served in Turkey 1982-84 stationed in Izmir Turkey with the 9th Allied Tactical Air Force headquarters. I found the Turkish people to be friendly and very friendly towards the United States. The Turks have long had a great hatred for the Kurdish people. Erdogan will NEVER leave the Kurdish people alone until they are totally are wiped off the face of the world.
I wish he would…sadly, I doubt it, for the Turkish President is inhumane and foolish.
The negotiations and a settlement should have been agreed to prior to pulling our groups out of Syria. The withdrawal of American forces encouraged Turkey to invade Syria. The Russians will now enter Syria and install Assad as a puppet for Russian interest. The Kurds will never have a homeland and the Turkish President thinks he now has been given permission to invade Syria.
