Turkish media paints White House visit as Erdoğan triumph over Trump

[catbyte]

BY LAURA KELLY - 11/14/19 05:31 PM EST

Turkish media are seizing on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s comments that President Trump had “no reaction” to his returning the American leader’s notorious letter to him, saying it shows a clear victory over Trump.

A headline in Sabah Daily, a pro-government media outlet, said that international media were reporting that Erdoğan returned the “scandalous” letter to Trump and the American president was “silent.”

The Turkish president was careful not push his criticism of Trump too far during a briefing with reporters following the two leaders’ summit, but he did use his platform to attack his detractors in the U.S. Congress.

One headline in Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily quoted the Turkish leader talking about Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “I told him what he needed, he learned his lesson.”

1. But I thought Erdowan "tossed it in the garbage" when he got it?

Liar.

3. Congratulations Lindsey, you are now the BIGGEST pussy on earth.

I'm having a hard time remembering the last time a US Senator (a republican no less) got bitch-slapped by a tin-pot wanna be like Erdogan.

Don't EVER play tough guy with us again. You just lost the right. Forever.

Lindsey Graham Blocks Senate Resolution Condemning Armenian Genocide

Hours after challenging Turkish President Recep Erdogan over the treatment of Syrian Kurds, Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) blocked a resolution that would have formally recognized the Armenian genocide.

Graham argued that the Senate should not “sugarcoat history or try to rewrite it,” and said that he was objecting to the resolution, which was proposed by Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), “not because of the past but because of the future.”

“I just met with President Erdogan and President Trump about the problems we face in Syria by the military incursion by Turkey. I do hope that Turkey and Armenia can come together and deal with this problem,” Graham said on the Senate floor.

Last month, the House voted to pass the resolution 405-11 in the wake of escalating tensions in U.S.-Turkey relations over the handling of Turkey’s invasion of northeast Syria. Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) made headlines for refusing to vote, saying at the time that “accountability and recognition of genocide should not be used as a cudgel in a political fight.” A day later, news broke that Omar had taken campaign donations from a group with ties to Erdogan.

7. Turkish media is quite right, Trump caved completely. It's no surprise

because Erdogan really is a very tough guy and a very smart politician.
