Dear President Trump, You are spewing molten asphalt to pave the way for a civil war with your imperial demand that the DOJ investigate the FBI, aren’t you? You and Team Trump have already laid down the initial subgrade by convincing your base that “fake news,” “alternative facts,” and “witch hunts” are all real and … Continue reading Mein Trumpf

Real people with names and lives
Dear President Trump, We have family visiting from Atlanta and decided to take a drive to check out an island in the Salish Sea. On the freeway I saw a pick-up truck that had a brown sock monkey on a rope tied to the trailer hitch flying out behind like it was being dragged. No … Continue reading Real people with names and lives
Blackmail fodder
Dear President Trump, This morning I read the excerpts of the Senate Russia investigation about the Tower meeting and it dawned on me that Vladimir P entrapped you. I was trying to figure out why there was the promise of dirt on Clinton and why, by all accounts, it wasn’t delivered, and the proverbial light … Continue reading Blackmail fodder
What’s on your mind?
Dear President Trump, This morning I planned out my run so I could go by the huge Buddha head a few blocks up on a side street. Now that it’s light so early it felt safe to go ahead and run on side streets. I got to see the big Buddha as planned, but then … Continue reading What’s on your mind?
Go ahead, take your marbles someplace else
Dear President Trump, Dang, I just did it again – as I dutifully typed my polite salutation to you, my fingers got going too fast and I typed “Dear President Ru.” Juvenile Freudian slip, I guess. Have you been following what’s happening here in Seattle around the City Council’s proposal to build low income housing … Continue reading Go ahead, take your marbles someplace else
“This is America”
Dear President Trump, Have you seen Donald Glover’s “This is America” music video? If you haven’t, you should. In an interview about it for the Huffington Post Julia Craven talked with the founder and curator of the Jim Crow museum, David Pilgrim. He notes that throughout the video dancing is juxtaposed with brutal violence. He … Continue reading “This is America”
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
“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
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
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
