My dear Friend and President, DJT,

How was your trip to Iraq to see the folks at al-Asad airbase? Too bad the video you posted with Lt. Commander Chaplain, Kyu Lee, revealed the location of US Seal Navy 5. As you know, that mistake is all over the news. I do that kind of thing all the time - impulsively blurt out a remark, only to realize one moment later that it was the wrong thing to say. Then I have to apologize and try to repair whatever harm I may have caused. I encourage you to start doing some apologizing for your slip-ups. It will be good for the youth in America to observe how to make amends.

It's too bad that your unannounced trip upset some of the Iraqi politicians. I doubt you intended to bother them, but as you probably know, Sabah al-Saidi took offense and claimed that you were in “blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty,” and now he wants to kick our troops out of Iraq. 

I'm afraid that I am baffled by the politics of the Mid-East. Please remind me why we have troop stationed in Iraq. As you know I find military solutions to human conflict abhorrent so I would prefer that we find alternative employment for the good men and women who are trained and equipped to kill. Those folks you were shaking hands with yesterday looked like very nice folk. I'd love to see them working in hospitals, retirement homes and schools.

 On a different topic, I understand that 7-year old Collman Lloyd enjoyed your conversation about Santa and expressed no doubts about his existence. She wants to know about your family. How about asking Barron to give her a call to introduce himself and tell her about his personal relationship with Santa?

Did you get a chuckle over Nancy Pelosi's comment about the "wall" becoming a "beaded curtain?" Maybe you should hire Christo and Jeanne Claude to build one of those. That would be cool!!!

 Have a great day,
