Dear President Trump, Today is a new day. I know yesterday was a new day when it was today and tomorrow will be a new day when it becomes today so there are chances for new starts all the time. I’m especially grateful for this particular new day because I finally have a useful way … Continue reading We need full-on rebellion
If you didn’t want to win….
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….
Change of a minor, but still irritating, sort
Dear President Trump, Off and on all day I’ve gotten emails from the White House Correspondence Team thanking me for my messages to you. They are all dated today, 1/5/18, even though I’ve not sent today’s message yet. All told, there were 21 emails. At first I thought the contact system went bonkers like the … Continue reading Change of a minor, but still irritating, sort
You are delivering spectacularly
Dear President Trump, I am still feeling under the weather and stayed home from work again today. It’s been strange being away from work so long. I don’t like it. I miss my co-workers and I miss having things that feel important to do both for their own sake and because they help distract me … Continue reading You are delivering spectacularly
“You reap what you sow”
Dear President Trump, We got a surprise holiday card in the mail today. It was from the woman at church who got so frustrated with me a few weeks ago when she thought I took too long in the pastor’s receiving line. I know I told you how she sent an apology note, but I … Continue reading “You reap what you sow”
Transparency isn’t your strong suit
Dear President Trump, I was supposed to go back to work today but I woke up with a bad sore throat. I think this is the 7th or 8th sick day I’ve taken since you’ve been in office, which is more than I took in the entire previous 17 years at the VA combined. There … Continue reading Transparency isn’t your strong suit
A good omen
Happy New Year President Trump, I understand you made an effort to be more inclusive than usual when you wished Americans a Happy New Year’s Day, calling out your supporters and friends as well as your enemies, haters, and the “very dishonest Fake News Media.” Really sends a warm, loving message to us all and … Continue reading A good omen
We won’t be unseen or unheard
Dear President Trump, Your top dollar Mar-a-lago New Year’s Eve party is probably starting to hop about now. Are you donating the entrance fee to charity? How about donating to an anti-bullying campaign to support Melania’s chosen cause? If you were to make a strong gesture in the direction of stopping bullying, it would be … Continue reading We won’t be unseen or unheard
Let’s go back to end of year album rankings
Dear President Trump, In the past when we counted down the final hours of a year, we listened to various gurus’ music rankings for the year. Seems pretty quaint now as 2017 winds down, but still, I’d much rather think about such trivialities than reflect on all the damage inflicted on the country and the … Continue reading Let’s go back to end of year album rankings
LKM for my most difficult person
Dear President Trump, My daughter and I drove down to Portland yesterday to see my family. Fortunately all the snow up here and the freezing rain down there had stopped, and we just had plain old rain (lots of plain old rain). We were going to stay another night and come back in the morning … Continue reading LKM for my most difficult person
