Clinton mocks Trump with letter

HILLARY Clinton has posted a joke letter on Twitter supposedly sent by John F Kennedy during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, written in the excitable style of US President Donald Trump’s recent letter to Turkey.

The parody letter, originally from ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show, is written on mocked-up White House letterhead and addressed to Russia’s then leader Nikita Khrushchev.

“Don’t be a dick, ok? Get your missiles out of Cuba,” starts the letter, pretending to be from president Kennedy.

“Everybody will say ‘Yay!

Khrushchev! You’re the best!’ But if you don’t everybody will be like ‘what an a--hole’ and call your garbage country ‘The Soviet Bunion’.”

The letter echoes the bizarre tone of Mr Trump’s October 9 letter to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in which he warned that he would wreck Turkey’s economy if its invasion of Syria went too far.

“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,” Mr Trump wrote in a letter many people thought was fake until verified by the White House.

“Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool,” Trump finished, adding: “I will call you later.”

The joke letter from Mr

Kennedy to Mr Khrushchev ends: “You’re really busting my nuts here. Give you a jingle later,” before signing off “Hugs, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.”

Clinton (pictured) joked that the letter had been “found in the archives”.

Democrat Clinton, who was defeated by Republican Trump in the 2016 US election, has backed efforts to impeach him over his dealings with Ukraine.

In the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, Mr Kennedy and Mr Khrushchev faced off in a moment of high diplomatic tension that threatened to tip the world into nuclear war.
