Dear President Trump, I almost typed “Dear President Rump.” Fitting. There are some other choice words that rhyme with trump like lump, dump, and crump, which means to explode heavily, and slump. I know, there’s bump as well and I suppose that fits in a way too. Maybe others are too grown up to go … Continue reading Cue the sycophants!

The darkest night
Dear President Trump, It feels really appropriate that you signed the gift to your family and friends (aka “the tax reform bill”) on the day of the longest night of the year. I saw the WP piece this morning about your donors pledging big money to get the propaganda presses churning to sell the American … Continue reading The darkest night
You all are being gifted hugely by the rest of us
Dear President Trump, Does it feel like it’s almost Christmas to you? I see the lights and trees and there are more cookies at work than usual, but I’m just not feeling it this year. I don’t want more stuff and I don’t want to be a party to more stuff. And when I think … Continue reading You all are being gifted hugely by the rest of us
Thank you
Dear President Trump, Yesterday I opted to use my character count to send you the text of the prayer I read aloud in church so I couldn’t tell you how it went. I’ll start by saying that as I’ve considered again the possibility of putting these letters out in the public forum, the 10/29 letter … Continue reading Thank you
Mary’s Story Retold
Dear President Trump, Here is the prayer I read in church today: “Every day for the last 307 days I have written Donald Trump a letter to express my thoughts and feelings about what is going on in our country since he took office. In response to our collective struggle with the depths of America’s … Continue reading Mary’s Story Retold
You have their backs
Dear President Trump, There’s so much crap flying out of the White House, it’s absolutely disgusting. Like yesterday how you invited the head of the NRA to your Christmas party on the 5th anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre. There are apologists saying you invite lots of people to your holiday parties and it just … Continue reading You have their backs
You can’t erase us
Dear President Trump, You know, sometimes it takes all day for whatever it is I’m going to write you about to percolate up to the surface and sometimes I’m at loose ends until a late story finally grabs my attention. Today it was the latter situation; when I heard about the ridiculous word ban you … Continue reading You can’t erase us
I prefer typing directly to you in your space
Dear President Trump, Geez, what is with the new contact page set up? It's like you set it up yourself for small children who are just learning to write, which if it really were for children to write to you would be a nice thing, but it’s quite a poor set up for adults who … Continue reading I prefer typing directly to you in your space
How did we get here?
Dear President Trump, It is absolutely absurd we have to be thankful a racist, homophobic, lawless man who is facing highly credible accusations of child abuse narrowly lost a US Senate race. What the hell? How is this even possible? And now we have a national newspaper's editorial board saying our President isn't fit to … Continue reading How did we get here?
We don’t even have to squint hard today
Dear President Trump, I love, love, love seeing those twelve tiny left facing arrows on the WP's map of Alabama showing counties that flipped from Republican to Democrat! Those twelve little arrows signify there is hope we can turn this nightmare around and that the moral arc of the Universe is bending tangibly towards justice; … Continue reading We don’t even have to squint hard today
