... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
. As part of the continuing spat between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and the United States over the imprisonment of American pastor Andrew Brunson and punitive US tariffs on Ottoman Turkish steel and aluminum, Erdogan told his people to shun US dollars and products such as the Apple iPhone.

#2  Turks burn $1 bills

Physical destruction of dollar bills that are in circulation will make dollars more scarce and cause an (infinitesimal) increase of the dollar's value against all other currencies.

If the Turks want to strengthen the Lira they should destroy Lira bills.
