Dear President Trump, I missed two of the five reflection times yesterday, ran right past them, so to speak. I’ve set my phone to ping me at noon, 3pm, and 9pm so I’ll remember to pause at those times. I have pretty solid morning and bedtime practices and just need some support for the in … Continue reading A lying bumbling idiot

Lies and more lies
Dear President Trump, Yesterday when I laid out the main types of lying you do, it occurred to me to wonder whether it really matters which sort of cesspool they burble up from. One could argue that a lie is a lie is a lie, or that a liar is a liar, etc., and since … Continue reading Lies and more lies
Raisinets and popcorn
Dear President Trump, Last night as I read the articles about Ruddy G’s statements to Sean H that you repaid Michael C the money he paid Stephanie C (aka Stormy D) I was eating Raisinets and suddenly realized it was like I was watching a bad movie. I’m visiting my mom this week and shared … Continue reading Raisinets and popcorn
Not you wins in a landslide
Dear President Trump, I’m going to take it easy today and not get too heavy as I’m tired from driving back from Portland and coming home to a sick dog. While I was gone our neighbor loaned us her copy of “A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo” – the book John Oliver commissioned … Continue reading Not you wins in a landslide
“Professional liar” iz u
Dear President Trump, Cameron Kasky has your number, doesn’t he? I wouldn’t be surprised if you are actually flattered by his assessment that you are a professional liar, seeing as this elevates you above the hoi polloi of ordinary liars. He pretty much nailed it when he pointed out that you say whatever you think … Continue reading “Professional liar” iz u
Kids get what matters
Dear President Trump, Maybe it’s been going on for years and I just missed it, but lately it’s been feeling like a lot of kids are acting more like adults than a lot of adults are acting like adults. Take, for example, Ruddy G’s spectacularly immature performances on national television. What adult in his right … Continue reading Kids get what matters
“Rudy” not “Ruddy”
Dear President Trump, I wasn’t expecting I’d need to ask you to pass along an apology to Rudy G when I wrote to you about apologies yesterday, but when I mentioned to Laura last night that I accidentally posted yesterday’s letter using “complimentary” instead of “complementary” she pointed out I’d also misspelled Rudy’s name in … Continue reading “Rudy” not “Ruddy”
450 and counting
Dear President Trump, Today is letter number 450 to you. Doing the math this works out to over a million characters (assuming about 2500 characters per letter) and a little over 10 regular workweek’s worth of time (assuming about an hour per letter). When framed like this I’ve got to wonder whether this is a … Continue reading 450 and counting
A petty racist contrarian
Dear President Trump, I’m curious – to what extent did you withdraw from the nuclear agreement with Iran because you want to undo everything you possibly can that President Obama accomplished? Does all this really boil down to you being a petty racist contrarian who can’t stand to let a black man’s legacy remain intact … Continue reading A petty racist contrarian
Noble understanding
Dear President Trump, Yesterday I drove behind a car with two noteworthy bumper stickers: “Do small things with great love” and “The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.” As you may (or may not) know, the first is by Mother Theresa and the second is by Leonardo da Vinci. I wrote to you on … Continue reading Noble understanding
