Dear President Trump, I wonder whether any day now your camp is going to pivot on the Wolff F & F book and claim that his commentary on how none of you expected to nor wanted to win the election is “proof” you all didn’t collude with Russia. It would be a tidy turn of … Continue reading If you didn’t want to win….
Your Base
Scandals prop you up
Dear President Trump, Did you see Andrés Miguel Rondón’s Perspectives piece in the WP? It was first posted on the 26th and I saw it there but kept skimming past it because the title (“To beat President Trump, you have to learn to think like his supporters”) was so off-putting. I would rather not start … Continue reading Scandals prop you up
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
Cue the sycophants!
Dear President Trump, I almost typed “Dear President Rump.” Fitting. There are some other choice words that rhyme with trump like lump, dump, and crump, which means to explode heavily, and slump. I know, there’s bump as well and I suppose that fits in a way too. Maybe others are too grown up to go … Continue reading Cue the sycophants!
The darkest night
Dear President Trump, It feels really appropriate that you signed the gift to your family and friends (aka “the tax reform bill”) on the day of the longest night of the year. I saw the WP piece this morning about your donors pledging big money to get the propaganda presses churning to sell the American … Continue reading The darkest night
You have their backs
Dear President Trump, There’s so much crap flying out of the White House, it’s absolutely disgusting. Like yesterday how you invited the head of the NRA to your Christmas party on the 5th anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre. There are apologists saying you invite lots of people to your holiday parties and it just … Continue reading You have their backs
We don’t even have to squint hard today
Dear President Trump, I love, love, love seeing those twelve tiny left facing arrows on the WP's map of Alabama showing counties that flipped from Republican to Democrat! Those twelve little arrows signify there is hope we can turn this nightmare around and that the moral arc of the Universe is bending tangibly towards justice; … Continue reading We don’t even have to squint hard today
You are keeping the right people happy
Dear President Trump, I am certain the talking head people on Fox & Friends (which always makes me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox and his strange friends when I type it) and Breitbart have been solidly on point all along with the idea that you are doing exactly what your base wants you to do … Continue reading You are keeping the right people happy
Those gloaty smirky smiles make my stomach turn
Dear President Trump, Having Flynn plead guilty and the Senate pass their tax bill in the middle of the night both happen within the same 24 hour period has me thinking about epic battles between good and evil and how crazy it is that nearly half the electorate would disagree with me on which is … Continue reading Those gloaty smirky smiles make my stomach turn
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
