    When speaking with people of another language in which English is their second language, it's beast to speak in "child speak" to make sure there is no confusion.

    I do that all the time with I communicate with my company's foreign offices.

    Not a good metric for Trump.

    Which part of the term everything needs to be explained?

    Nevermind, you apparently don't see anything wrong with the letter!

    That alone explains a great deal.

    You should consider whether you are coming across as condescending.

    That is INSULTING to a foreign leader.

    Would you be a happy camper if all of the other world leaders starting to talk to your BLOTUS as if he was a child, which he is, but wouldn't it be disparaging of the OFFICE of a world leader?

    Your BLOTUS's puerile language treats a foreign leader as if he is a child which is insulting.

    Repeating the same fallacy does not alter the fact that everything is wrong with that letter.

    LOL!!! Riiight, it's proper for a leader of one nation to tell another leader not to be a "tough guy". If you see nothing wrong with the language of that letter then you are completely un-objective. Sorry dude.

    No, the red line is extremely relevant. Syria should have been invaded and the Assad regime executed years ago, but Obammie's lack of fortitude in Syria, as well as his bravely running away from Iraq lead us directly to this situation now. Our forces should not have to suffer any longer for Obama's blunders.

    I will withhold comment until the letter (which clearly seems to be a parody) is authenticated in some way. I gather someone from Fox claims to have "obtained" this letter which seems a little suspect to me. Obtained? From whom? How?

    Now this is a good point. And I agree. Has anyone authenticated it?

    Yea, because Libya worked out so well, Iraq worked out so well, Afghanistan worked out so well, so surely Syria will have worked out so well if the Assad regime was executed!

    And some people wonder why the US is so hated in so many countries

    What's wrong with telling another leader to not be a "tough guy"?

    That is an insulting way of putting it
    Perhaps we could say that Trumps charm is that he makes so many people feel intelligent ....

    That letter does not pass standard simplified English requirements. Nice try though.

    What part of the letter doesn't meet "standard simplified English requirements."
