Hey @realDonaldTrump, we've put up billboards across London to let you know what people in your own party REALLY think of you. People like @MarcoRubio #TrumpUKvisit

@ShazUmbreen This one is not bad: https://t.co/M1xIojn0Wd but written 3 years ago, so missing breakdown of Peace Process and all that has happened since then. This one is about a very good book about Turkey, some summaries in the post, worth reading the book: https://t.co/Ft66hRPLRI
