2016年民主党总统候选人希拉里·克林顿本周末通过分享前总统约翰·肯尼迪给前苏联总理尼基塔·赫鲁晓夫的假信,窃取了唐纳德·特朗普总统给土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的信。
克林顿周日下午在推特上分享了这封伪造的白宫信件,日期是1962年10月16日。这位前国务卿在给埃尔多安的信中似乎嘲笑特朗普所谓的幼稚语调。“在档案里找到的...,”克林顿在推特上,旁边是一封笑话历史信的图片。
“亲爱的赫鲁晓夫总理,不要做民主党人,好吗?“把你的导弹从古巴拿走,”假信上写道。“每个人都会说‘耶!赫鲁晓夫。“你是最棒的!”但是如果你不这样做,每个人都会像“多么好的一个”,把你的垃圾国家叫做“苏联拇趾囊肿”"
“你真让我抓狂,”它总结道。“晚点给你叮当。拥抱,约翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪。”
国家共和党参议院委员会(NRSC)高级顾问马特·惠特洛克指出推特克林顿的假信起源于一个吉米·金梅尔现场直播有点。
特朗普的原作信到埃尔多安,日期是10月9日,由福克斯商业公司的特里什·里根在网上获得和分享,并被白宫确认为真实的。特朗普在信中鼓励土耳其总统不要对他在叙利亚北部的轰炸“强硬”,并威胁说,如果埃尔多安在入侵方面走得太远,将会破坏土耳其经济。入侵是在美国总统宣布他突然决定从该地区撤军后不久开始的。
特朗普在信中写道:“你不想对屠杀数千人负责,我也不想对摧毁土耳其经济负责——我会的。”。“如果你以正确和人道的方式完成这件事,历史会对你有利的。如果好事不发生,它会永远视你为魔鬼。”
“别做硬汉。别傻了!”他补充道。
这封信公之于众后,特朗普批评道:历史学家政客们谴责了这份文件,嘲笑总统所谓的幼稚语调。“这太疯狂了,”密歇根众议员贾斯汀·阿玛什在推特上说。
民主党马萨诸塞州众议员赛斯·莫尔顿告诉记者:“美国一所失败高中的普通学生可以写一封比这更有效的信。”商业内幕,“在这里,总统在白宫的固定位置上向全世界展示,他不知道如何与外国领导人谈判。这是他的工作。”
接近埃尔多安的消息来源告诉英国广播公司新闻,土耳其领导人“彻底拒绝”这封信,并将其“扔进垃圾箱”
根据《独立报》埃尔多安周五在新闻发布会上表示,特朗普的信“不符合外交和政治礼节”
“我们不会忘记这种缺乏尊重。这不是我们的当务之急。但到时候,我们希望大家知道,我们将采取必要的步骤,”他补充说。
前国务卿希拉里·克林顿于2019年9月17日在DC华盛顿乔治·华盛顿大学美国教师联合会尚克学院捍卫民主论坛上发表主旨演讲。希拉里周日用一封给赫鲁晓夫的假JFK信拖了唐纳德·特朗普总统给土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的信。
HILLARY CLINTON MOCKS TRUMP'S NOTE TO ERDOGAN WITH FAKE JFK LETTER TO KHRUSHCHEV
2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton this weekend trolled President Donald Trump's letter to Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by sharing a fake letter from former President John F. Kennedy to former Premier of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev.
Clinton shared the fake White House letter, dated October 16, 1962, to Twitter on Sunday afternoon. In it, the former secretary of state appears to mock Trump's allegedly childish tone in his letter sent to Erdoğan. "Found in the archives...," Clinton tweeted, alongside an image of the joke historic letter.
"Dear Premier Khrushchev, Don't be a d---, ok? Get your missiles out of Cuba," the fake letter read. "Everybody will say 'Yay! Khrushchev! You're the best!' But if you don't everybody will be like 'what an a------' and call your garbage country 'The Soviet Bunion.'"
"You're really busting my nuts here," it concluded. "Give you a jingle later. Hugs, John Fitzgerald Kennedy."
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) senior adviser Matt Whitlock pointed out on Twitter that Clinton's fake letter originated in a Jimmy Kimmel Live bit.
Trump's original letter to Erdogan, dated October 9, was obtained and shared online by Fox Business' Trish Regan and confirmed by the White House as authentic. In it, Trump encouraged his Turkish counterpart not to "be a tough guy" over his bombardments in northern Syria and threatened to wreck the Turkish economy if Erdogan went too far with his invasion, which began shortly after the U.S. president announced his sudden decision to withdraw troops from the region.
"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," Trump's letter read. "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!" he added.
After the letter was made public, Trump critics, historians and politicians condemned the document and mocked the president's allegedly childish tone. "This is insane," Michigan Congressman Justin Amash tweeted.
"An average student at one of America's failing high schools could write a more effective letter than this," Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton told Business Insider, "and here we have the president on White House stationary showing the entire world that he has no idea how to negotiate with foreign leaders. And this is his job."
Sources close to Erdogan told BBC News that the Turkish leader "thoroughly rejected" the letter and chucked it away "in the bin."
According to The Independent, Erdogan said on Friday in a press conference that Trump's letter "was not in line with diplomatic and political courtesy."
"We will not forget this lack of respect. This is not a priority for us. But when the time comes, we would like it to be known that we will take the necessary steps," he added.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers a keynote speech during the American Federation of Teachers Shanker Institute Defense of Democracy Forum at George Washington University on September 17, 2019 in Washington, DC. Clinton on Sunday trolled President Donald Trump's letter to Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with a fake JFK letter to Khrushchev.
