littlebillie oh yes definite real, it was released by the WH in a blunder to prove he tried to tell Erdogan to do his push through NSyria nicely. The date of the letter is key.
Of course this backfired as it always does.
His aides are fools, but none so big a fool as Trump.
From the Guardian
“Let’s work out a good deal!” Trump wrote in the letter dated 9 October, whose authenticity was confirmed to various news outlets by the White House
Even the Kremlin questioned the legitimacy of the letter.
The Kremlin questioned the letter’s tone. “You don’t often encounter such language in correspondence between heads of state. It’s a highly unusual letter,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.

Per the same source, Trump handed out copies of the letter he'd sent to Erdogan at today's meeting in what was interpreted as an attempt to show everyone how tough he'd been.
