Dear President Trump, I read a reference yesterday to your statement from January 2016 that you could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose any votes. Sadly, I think you were right. It is absolutely heartbreaking that someone aspiring to be president of the US would think such a thing, let … Continue reading We are in so much trouble

Campaign rallies
(drafted on August 23, 2017 due to time constraints on the 24th) Dear President Trump, I'm not sure how I've missed it that you've held numerous campaign rallies since you became president in January. I remember hearing references to them but most of the time they were called "campaign style rallies" so I thought they … Continue reading Campaign rallies
We need to reword the Declaration of Independence
Dear President Trump, I wonder how it went in Baltimore this morning as your acolytes who just love history had to adjust to the new reality of their monuments to slavery and oppression having been removed with no fanfare in the middle of the night. In some ways it's too bad officials removed the statues … Continue reading We need to reword the Declaration of Independence
They can hang up their hoods
Dear President Trump, You know, at this point, I think you should just let it all hang out. The KKK people aren't all wearing their old hoods anymore and hundreds of formerly anonymous Internet trolls are coming out unmasked to parade around with AK-47s and tiki-torches so why shouldn't you claim your rightful place as … Continue reading They can hang up their hoods
You haven’t earned the benefit of my doubt
Dear President Trump, How did it feel to read aloud the prepared statement condemning white supremacists, the KKK, and neo-Nazis with the cameras rolling? I so wish for your sake and for all of us that it was a relief to you to get to say those morally correct things even if you were worried … Continue reading You haven’t earned the benefit of my doubt
You can’t make yourself condemn the hate
Dear President Trump, While I doubt you could pull it off in a thoughtful, wise sounding way, you know full well what is expected of a president in response to situations like the one that took place in Charlottesville this past weekend. You would have to be a complete idiot not to understand that you … Continue reading You can’t make yourself condemn the hate
You can’t afford to piss off the neo-Nazis
Dear President Trump, What a sad day it is for Charlottesville and our whole country. You were in one of those "between a rock and a hard places", for sure. There is no way you could not make a statement condemning the violence that erupted. I'm not surprised, though, that you chose as lukewarm sort … Continue reading You can’t afford to piss off the neo-Nazis
Your base is starting to fracture
Dear President Trump, I know your staff periodically changes things up on this "contact the White House" page, but it was quite a surprise to get an email from the White House thanking me for my correspondence to you. I've probably written to you faithfully for over 160 days now and this is the first … Continue reading Your base is starting to fracture
So it’s not about some silly fight with Obama’s legacy
Dear President Trump, I keep having to step back and reconsider the ideas I float for helping our country because I realize later I've neglected some crucial aspect of the problems. This time it's that the Sleeping Beauty idea of some more liberal portion of us braving the dense thicket of B.S. dividing us from … Continue reading So it’s not about some silly fight with Obama’s legacy
Let’s put the people front and center
Dear President Trump, How are you this morning? Are you back in the Oval Office this week? Ready to tackle important issues like infrastructure, education, taxes, and healthcare? How about working on filling key governmental offices that are currently lacking leaders and critical personnel? I know you and your Republican props want smaller government and … Continue reading Let’s put the people front and center
