Dear President Trump, I've been at a loss to know what to say to you the last couple of days. I don't want to repeat myself too much and even if they are dressed up a little differently day-to-day, the same old issues just keep being recycled. We are getting whiplash from the constant jerking … Continue reading We can’t just get you on obstruction

LKM for strangers = little periscopes
Dear President Trump, Does it really feel to you like the appointment of a special counsel is a witch hunt or is this more bluster to try and ensure your base stays in your corner? There may be multi-verses where alternate streams of reality play out (maybe, who knows?), but I bet in precious few … Continue reading LKM for strangers = little periscopes
Stupid or traitorous? Both.
Dear President Trump, I didn't mention this when talking about the salutations of these letters to you, but I am also careful never to address you as "Mr. President." That would connote a level of legitimacy I don't believe you have. You do not fully embody the presidency in such a way as to merit … Continue reading Stupid or traitorous? Both.
Praying you somehow find it in you to be noble and brave
Dear President Trump, I've been thinking a lot about the people who voted for you and are still holding strong in their belief in and approval of you. What are you going to tell them, and when? Are you going to claim innocence to the bitter end? I'm worried about them, to some extent for … Continue reading Praying you somehow find it in you to be noble and brave
Pure as the driven (Siberian) snow
Dear President Trump, It's been tempting from day one of your presidency to not address you as "President Trump" and every day I write you, I consider the salutation carefully. I've stuck with "President Trump" out of respect for the office and because I don't want to skirt the reality that you are president; I … Continue reading Pure as the driven (Siberian) snow
Petty private competitions and excuse-making
Dear President Trump, The sun is shining here and word has it there are Federal Grand Juries in Virginia meeting this morning about your campaign's ties with Russia. Pretty great start to the day, I'd say. Certainly more hopeful than the all male, all white group of senators McConnell has tasked with the Senate's healthcare … Continue reading Petty private competitions and excuse-making
I can’t keep up aggrieved crisis mode all day every day
Dear President Trump, I think you all should change the choice in the "Message Type" selection box for sending you messages since it's really not the case when people use this portal and click "Contact the President" that we are actually contacting you. At best we are lobbing words in your general direction and really, … Continue reading I can’t keep up aggrieved crisis mode all day every day
You are not a resurrection sort
Dear President Trump, I wish you were a president I want to wish a Happy Easter, but you aren't. You are not a resurrection sort of president who is invested in bringing about positive, creative change for the good of the people. In fact, you have shown yourself to be someone who is invested in … Continue reading You are not a resurrection sort
Deals with Devils don’t leave much for the rest of us
Dear President Trump, This morning on my run it was dark. There was a raised part of the sidewalk I didn't see and I went down hard. Fortunately I didn't break anything but I'm quite banged up and it looks like someone punched me in the mouth with rough sandpaper taped to their fist. It … Continue reading Deals with Devils don’t leave much for the rest of us
Lizard brains
Dear President Trump, There's an awful lot in the news lately about infighting and tensions within your administration. I imagine you are feeling stressed and frustrated, and scared. I imagine you all are feeling these ways as your crooked house of cards folds in on itself. One of the crappy things about being an untrustworthy … Continue reading Lizard brains
