Dear President Trump, You’ve had a hell of a week! Was screwing with the country today about whether you’d sign the budget bill the cherry on top? I bet it was actually tough signing that thing with such a pittance for your precious wall (though that billion-dollar-plus pittance would sure build a lot of low … Continue reading Bozo of a president

“Stamping out prejudice” for real
Dear President Trump, I just found some quotes from your speech yesterday commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I think you did a nice job and I especially want to lift up that you talked about stamping out prejudice, condemning hatred, and bearing witness. You made some powerful, important points. I did notice though, that all … Continue reading “Stamping out prejudice” for real
A plague on us all
Dear President Trump, At this point, if the cameras hadn’t been rolling on January 9th no one would believe you ever talked about a “love bill” for the Dreamers. When I heard the recording of the outgoing message on the White House contact line blaming the Democrats for the government shutdown and claiming it’s because … Continue reading A plague on us all
It’s surreal (to pretend things are normal)
Dear President Trump, Wouldn’t it be amazing (and at this point, strange) if we had a whole day where there was no turmoil or consternation over something you said or did? I’m not sure any of us would know what to do with such an event. You have truly been outdoing yourself lately, coming out … Continue reading It’s surreal (to pretend things are normal)
Sincere thanks
Dear President Trump, Eating my lunch yesterday I had a chance to peek at NPR and saw the article describing the open meeting you had with congressional leaders on immigration and for a few minutes I entertained the fantasy that maybe I’m getting through to you. It was so surprising and really quite wonderful that … Continue reading Sincere thanks
I bet you use fear tactics to try and lure white women back
Dear President Trump, Are you playing the tape of Pence and the others piling on the kudos on continuous loop to compensate for the scary meeting you all apparently had later about the 2018 midterm elections? And how many propping up calls have you gotten from Putin encouraging you to stay the course, promising that … Continue reading I bet you use fear tactics to try and lure white women back
I hope your minders are on high alert
Dear President Trump, I bet you did not have a good day and in fact, I bet you did not have a good week. Basically, as soon as the Special Counsel team announced that Flynn's lawyers were no longer cooperating with your lawyers it was crystal clear that Flynn is flipping on you. We've been … Continue reading I hope your minders are on high alert
The only thing you can think to build is your damn wall
Dear President Trump, Is it feeling surreal to you to be seeing reports of named Republicans and people close to you being quoted expressing concern over your fitness for office? It's way beyond Corker and Flake at this point and it feels so much scarier now that it isn't just Democrats and liberals calling you … Continue reading The only thing you can think to build is your damn wall
“Every dream you ever dreamed”
Dear President Trump, The WP had a story this morning about your campaign promise that electing you president would lead to "every dream you ever dreamed for your country (coming) true." I had to reread the sentence several times and then googled it because I couldn't believe even you would say that, but sure enough, … Continue reading “Every dream you ever dreamed”
9/11 and doodle prayers
Dear President Trump, I promised you more from yesterday's church service, but first I want to pause and recognize that today is the 16th anniversary of 9/11. I imagine you remember where you were when you found out what was happening and since you were probably in NYC I'm guessing your first reaction was terror … Continue reading 9/11 and doodle prayers
