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
How about a New Year’s resolution or 30?
Dear President Trump, It’s that time of year when people start narrowing down their New Years’ resolution lists. I’ve never been keen on setting self-improvement goals at the New Year even though I usually try to make some noble change for Lent. Maybe I’m able to make changes for Lent because I’m only committing to … Continue reading How about a New Year’s resolution or 30?
I feel as though I’ve spent most of the day with you
Dear President Trump, I feel as though I’ve spent most of the day with you having gone through three more months of letters to you today (I’m up to July 1st) to give them titles for the blog I’m going to start soon-ish. I found someone who can help me set one up and she … Continue reading I feel as though I’ve spent most of the day with you
A magical Christmas
Dear President Trump, Have you had a happy holiday? I hope so for our sake. Given that everyone around you seems desperate to keep you content and on an even keel, I imagine there was some serious holiday engineering at your house today. Who was in charge of running the show? John Kelly or Melania? … Continue reading A magical Christmas
Let’s have holidays on our own terms
Dear President Trump, Did the Ghost of Real Life visit you last night? If so, whose dishes did you do? It would be good for you to visit different families across the country and the world, especially those dealing with war, drug gangs, and famine. You could, of course, walk to the White House kitchen … Continue reading Let’s have holidays on our own terms
Have you ever washed dishes?
Dear President Trump, Have you ever washed dishes? I’d be surprised if you have ever done any cleaning at all. Our dishwasher broke recently and we haven’t yet replaced it so we are doing lots more dishes by hand. It’s ok, it’s kind of meditative, and there’s a certain satisfaction in getting everything neat and … Continue reading Have you ever washed dishes?
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 all are being gifted hugely by the rest of us
Dear President Trump, Does it feel like it’s almost Christmas to you? I see the lights and trees and there are more cookies at work than usual, but I’m just not feeling it this year. I don’t want more stuff and I don’t want to be a party to more stuff. And when I think … Continue reading You all are being gifted hugely by the rest of us
