His more recent statements in the last two weeks fall squarely within what /pol is terrified of. It makes me wonder if he is trying to manipulate them in some way.

I think in his latest statement he said that "you won't be safe walking on the streets".
A big, gigantic wall on the Turkish border seems more necessary than one on the US-Mexican at this point.

If he starts yelling, "They're takin' our jerbs!!!" then we shall know for sure.
He is essetially the same as Duterte. The strong man who murders or imprisons his opponents.
Turkey is in a fragile state. They are at war with the PKK and ISIS within thier borders. Thier army got shown to be a joke and muscled out by the Kurds. Thier state intelligence is too busy hunting down Gulenists to track ISIS cells.
Turkey used to be the great hope of the middle east. A beacon for what the countries there could be, but instead of Iraq and Syria becoming like Turkey, Turkey has become like them. Its unstable and in a permanent state of crisis.
Erdogan thrives on crisis and confrontation, he needs it to legitimise himself. But the chickens are coming home to roost.
If the referendum go his way Turkey will join Belarus as the only undemocratic countries in Europe.
Shame really.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Of course he is. Manipulation of the right is how right-wing politicians get elected. What, did you think their fears were based on reality?
I gotta admit that his recent behaviour is extremely irrational, unless ofcourse his only intent is to isolate Turkey and strenghten his grasp on power
Europe is having elections right now and its hilarious that during this, He is saying things like "Turkish people are Europes future, and that Turkish people should have lots of kids to populate Europe" I find it hilarious that /pol types of places are having a melt down, they are clearly being manipulated by him.
Well, there is no group of people in existence more easy to manipulate than the far right.
Oh has the erdogan circus come to town again.
I hope it's not the same show as the last time it visited the netherlands :#
I don't think elections will reflect in what some crackpot Turkish President says, the strongest reaction he'll get, is some nations removing dual citizenship for Turks, not really in his favor at all, besides neither the left centre or right parties accept the hysterical shit he's spewing.
His rather short term strategy is "winning" the referendum, after that he'll shut up.
