Dear President Trump, Along with brushing my teeth twice a day and writing to you once a day, saying a morning LKM prayer for you is another noncontingent activity I’ve faithfully hewed to all these long months since the election. I have no idea whether wishing you, my most difficult person, safety, happiness, health, and … Continue reading My most difficult person
Democracy Under Siege
Facts matter
Dear President Trump, If sending these letters to you were contingent on anything, today would be a skip day for me. I’m just wrung out and so thoroughly disgusted with you and your administration I’d really rather spit nails at you then write you. But this letter writing practice is not contingent on anything, not … Continue reading Facts matter
Feigned fit of pique
Dear President Trump, Yesterday Macron said to you “Let’s be serious and worthy of our people.” I don’t think you heard him. Really, I don’t think you are capable of hearing him let alone heeding those words. I actually do think you are serious though, I think you’ve been exceedingly serious and strategic about achieving … Continue reading Feigned fit of pique
Real patriotism
Dear President Trump, It’s good you went ahead and slapped the idea of readmitting Russia to the G-7 on the table this morning. I was wondering when someone was going to point out that your baiting of Macron and Trudeau and the wanton tariff leveeing were likely at Vladimir’s behest. I didn’t see anything in … Continue reading Real patriotism
GOP spine: MIA
Dear President Trump, I see Melania is slated to attend a Gold Star event today so that will put to rest the furor over her whereabouts, if not her wellbeing. It’s still very odd she was out of the public eye for so long and that she’s not traveling to Singapore with you, but I … Continue reading GOP spine: MIA
Whatever doesn’t kill us, doesn’t kill us
Dear President Trump, Still no sign of Melania. Can you even imagine how up in arms you and the GOP would be if Hillary Clinton had been in office 500 days and instead of Melania not having been seen for over three weeks, it was Bill Clinton? You all would be accusing Hillary of having … Continue reading Whatever doesn’t kill us, doesn’t kill us
Heartsick
Dear President Trump, Yesterday when I sent your letter I hadn’t seen the Tweet from Melania’s phone. It sure sounds cobbled together from canned phrases from your insanely voluminous Twitter feed, but it also sounds too coherent to have been sent by you. Did you dictate to her and she cleaned it up? Did you … Continue reading Heartsick
Where in the world is Melania?
Dear President Trump, Has the panic thoroughly set in yet? It was quite a twofer in the WP this morning between Trey Gowdy appearing on Fox News pushing back on your creative, if predictable, “Spygate” tweet-hoax and the revelation that over a million files from Cohen’s three phones are going to be released soon to … Continue reading Where in the world is Melania?
What is wrong with you?
Dear President Trump, Did your minders not tell you that it’s not appropriate to enthusiastically say “Happy Memorial Day!”? Your tweet earlier today with that opening and the statement that all our dead service members would be so pleased with how great things are going here in America made me shudder. And cringe. Can you … Continue reading What is wrong with you?
Gladiators probably couldn’t protest either
Dear President Trump, How about you! You notched a big #Win (or “#Winning” as your sycophantic VP enthusiastically proclaimed) by coercing the NFL owners to agree that teams will incur hefty fines if players protest on the sideline. I know you aren’t fully satisfied with the rules since players can remain in the locker room … Continue reading Gladiators probably couldn’t protest either
