Dear President Trump, I heard your interview on Fox tonight. When the anchor asked if you had ever worked for Russia you pulled out the righteous indignation and threw a few smoke bombs, but you never denied it. I listened to that exchange right after reading the WP article about how you confiscated your interpreter’s … Continue reading Smoking gun(s)

A worthy pipe dream
Dear President Trump, I’ve told you before how I say a series of loving-kindness prayers for a bunch of people, including you, every morning towards the end of my walk or run. It keeps me steady and helps me recharge my supply of positivity and kindness, which really does seem like it could be finite … Continue reading A worthy pipe dream
Personality Disorder twofer
Dear President Trump, When I read last week that you’d been planning a 16-day golfing vacation down at Mar-a-Lago I told Laura that it might be worth the $5 billion dollars in wall money if it meant you’d be preoccupied with lowering your handicap for over two weeks. I was actually kidding – the whole … Continue reading Personality Disorder twofer
A scary clown mask
Dear President Trump, I don’t know what it is about being on the road on Sunday mornings, but it seems to be a prime time for seeing odd things. This morning’s sighting came early in the trip to church – on the freeway onramp I spotted something on the side of the road that looked … Continue reading A scary clown mask
Seems like it’s about time to panic
Dear President Trump, I was mistaken the other day – the video about “plogging” did have some low-key music to carry the litter plucking joggers along. I just thought it was silent because I had the sound on my laptop turned off. Want to know why? Probably not, but I’ll tell you anyway – I … Continue reading Seems like it’s about time to panic
If it looks like treason and smells like treason….
Dear President Trump, It’s not quite 4pm and the sun has almost set here. We’ll probably have another 30 or so minutes of daylight (I’ll still be typing to you so I’ll let you know when it gets dusky-dark) at which time we’ll be about 4 and a half hours from the government shutting down. … Continue reading If it looks like treason and smells like treason….
Another December day
Dear President Trump, The sad, scary, enraging stuff I wrote to you about yesterday hasn’t gone away and isn’t going away anytime soon; kids are still contemplating suicide today and young adults are still concluding that it doesn’t make sense to have children. Nothing has substantively changed – you’re still lurching from one manufactured crisis … Continue reading Another December day
Played, big time
Dear President Trump, Because I’m not yet sure what I think about your performance piece with Representative Pelosi and Senator Schumer (aka “Nancy and Chuck”) today, I’m going to write to you instead about something I’ve been mulling over for the last few days. There’s no way in hell this will be the conclusion the … Continue reading Played, big time
Peace and quiet
Dear President Trump, This morning we encountered an unexpected traffic snarl when we took my brother’s birthday card to the post office. The plan was to mail it there so it will get to him by Tuesday (hopefully) and then walk the dogs in that neighborhood to mix things up. We didn’t realize that the … Continue reading Peace and quiet
Saboteur in Chief
Dear President Trump, I feel a little bad about this, but until today I wasn’t paying attention to the plan to appoint your Fox News friend, Heather Nauret as the US ambassador to the United Nations. It was just so over the top absurd that my brain couldn’t get it to register as a real … Continue reading Saboteur in Chief
