Dear President Trump, I saw this morning that you sort of weighed in on the free downloadable 3-D printer plans to make guns, Tweeting out to the world that you are looking into them, have spoken with the NRA, and that they don’t make much sense to you. You don’t say why they don’t make … Continue reading 3-D guns – yet another terrible thing courtesy of you

Marjory’s legacy
Dear President Trump, My alumnae magazine was especially engrossing this month with interviews featuring six of the former presidents of Ethos, an organization for students of African descent, as well as a piece by a WP reporter who happened to be in Las Vegas the night of the horrific mass shooting and was thus, one … Continue reading Marjory’s legacy
GOP spine: MIA
Dear President Trump, I see Melania is slated to attend a Gold Star event today so that will put to rest the furor over her whereabouts, if not her wellbeing. It’s still very odd she was out of the public eye for so long and that she’s not traveling to Singapore with you, but I … Continue reading GOP spine: MIA
What is wrong with you?
Dear President Trump, Did your minders not tell you that it’s not appropriate to enthusiastically say “Happy Memorial Day!”? Your tweet earlier today with that opening and the statement that all our dead service members would be so pleased with how great things are going here in America made me shudder. And cringe. Can you … Continue reading What is wrong with you?
Let’s go with some good news today
Dear President Trump, I’m going to go with some bits of good news today since it really is out there and we need to not lose sight of it in the midst of all the crappy changes you’ve been putting us through all these long months. Starting close to home, yesterday in my clinical team … Continue reading Let’s go with some good news today
Brainwashed and benumbed + guns = death
Dear President Trump, Are you following Oliver North’s statements about school shootings being a product of “our culture of violence” and we shouldn’t blame guns? Do you see any problems with that logic? Like maybe that the ubiquity of guns, our overly literal interpretation of the Second Amendment, and our unwillingness to value life over … Continue reading Brainwashed and benumbed + guns = death
Bearing reality and keeping hope alive
Dear President Trump, This morning I took on a slightly more ambitious run and went to visit “The Rock.” I thought I’d told you about the Rock before but I did a search and apparently I haven’t. Anyway, it’s a large glacial anomaly about the size of a small cabin in the middle of a … Continue reading Bearing reality and keeping hope alive
“Professional liar” iz u
Dear President Trump, Cameron Kasky has your number, doesn’t he? I wouldn’t be surprised if you are actually flattered by his assessment that you are a professional liar, seeing as this elevates you above the hoi polloi of ordinary liars. He pretty much nailed it when he pointed out that you say whatever you think … Continue reading “Professional liar” iz u
Human nature + guns = bad news
Dear President Trump, Did you catch wind of Ralph Norman’s antics yesterday? He pulled a loaded revolver out and laid it on the table in front of him during a meeting with his constituents in South Carolina. He said everyone was safer with him and his loaded gun there and that he wasn’t going to … Continue reading Human nature + guns = bad news
Dreamcatchers
Dear President Trump, I have another story for you today; this one is from the Ojibwa tribe. The Ojibwa believe that Spider Woman is the mystical protector of their people. As the tribe grew and spread out over ever vaster territory (originally the upper Midwest and Southern Canada), Spider Woman needed to figure out how … Continue reading Dreamcatchers
