The Art of True Leadership: Ronald Tramp's Guide to Diplomacy
A masterpiece of statesmanship and charisma à la Elmburg
Well, I, Ronald Tramp, President of Elmburg, really must tell you about this absolutely incredible visit to Berlin by Turkey's President Erdogan. You know I'm an expert in presence and style - not to mention my ability to say things as they are. In comparison, Erdogan's appearance was like an episode of "Politicians Say the Opposite" - one moment as tame as a kitten, the next fiercer than a lion.
First Erdogan meets with those German guys, Steinmeier and Scholz, and plays the nice guy. I mean, seriously? Since when are state visits the place to be nice? I've always said, "Be strong, be scary, make them nervous!" But Erdogan? No, he opts for the polite way. And then, as soon as he's back in Turkey, he goes completely crazy and calls Israel a "terrorist state". It's like if I were to claim that Elmburg is a country full of gentle sheep - nobody would believe it!
And it doesn't stop there. This Erdogan then compared the West and Germany to the crusaders. Crusaders! I thought that was a term you only found in history books. I mean, let's get back to reality, shall we? If I were to compare the West to anything, it might be a luxury golf resort - exclusive, powerful, a bit ostentatious.

Then Erdogan talks about 10,000 hostages that Israel is supposedly holding. I wonder where he got this figure from.
