Donald Trump appears to dictate his bizarre letter to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in spoof audio thats going viral.
Trump impersonator Anthony Atamanuik , who portrayed the U.S. president on Comedy Centrals The President Show, voiced the leaked clip that he shared to Twitter on Wednesday.
Atamanuik, in character as the president, mispronounced various words and called the Turkish capital of Ankara by the name Anakin in the comedy bit.

Many people initially thought that Trumps Oct. 9 letter to his Turkish counterpart, in which he warned Erdogan against invading northern Syria, was fake.
Lets work out a good deal! You dont want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I dont want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy and I will, Trump wrote. Dont be a tough guy. Dont be a fool! I will call you later, he wrote.
