TORONTO -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mocking U.S. President Donald Trump鈥檚 letter to Turkey鈥檚 president.
On Sunday, with the caption 鈥渇ound in the archives,鈥� she tweeted a fake letter which then-U.S. president John F. Kennedy wrote to then-Premier of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s.
The former Democratic presidential nominee鈥檚 parody letter opened with: 鈥淒ear Premier Khrushchev, don鈥檛 be a dick, OK? Get your missiles out of Cuba.鈥�
Everybody will say, 鈥榶ay! Khrushchev! You鈥檙e the best! But if you don鈥檛, everybody will be like 鈥榳hat an asshole鈥� and call your garbage country 鈥楾he Soviet Bunion,鈥欌�� it goes on to read. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e really busting my nuts here.鈥�
for the parody letter 鈥� Oct. 16, 1962 鈥� makes it appear to have been written on the day that missiles capable of reaching U.S. soil were discovered in Cuba.
Clinton's letter is almost a direct copy of one shown during a monologue earlier this week by late night host Jimmy Kimmel -- but with one difference. While Kimmel's version was censored, Clinton's is not.
The strange way the parody letter was written was clearly no coincidence, as it echoes the tone of the widely-panned letter Trump sent to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over his decision to invade Syria earlier this month. When the Oct. 9 letter was made public, Trump's unconventional approach to diplomacy was evident throughout.
In Trump鈥檚 letter, the president told Turkey鈥檚 leader, 鈥渄on鈥檛 be a tough guy. Don鈥檛 be a fool!鈥�
He also added "don't let the world down鈥� before mentioning that the Kurds were willing to negotiate and "make concessions that they never would have made in the past."
The effectiveness of Trump鈥檚 letter is arguably in question as 鈥淭urkish presidential sources鈥� told the BBC that Erdogan received the letter and 鈥渢horoughly rejected it and put it in the bin.鈥�
At the time of publication, Trump had not responded to the parody letter.
