My dear Friend and President, DJT,
I’m surprised that you don’t have any public appearances today. It seems like a great day for a photo op. You could go on the multi-sensory tour of your neighborhood where you could “see where Churchill stayed after Eleanor Roosevelt booted him from the White House.” Sounds interesting, don’t you think?
Since you are going to have a quiet day, I ask you to reconsider pulling out of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Invite your grandkids over and ask them how they feel about Planet Earth. Better yet, grab your security guys, jump in the limo and head over to Shenandoah National Park and marvel at the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When you do so, ask the park rangers what they think of the idea of having Amazon deliveries there. I doubt they’ll be in favor. I’m sure they’d have something to say about climate change, too.
Alas, I suspect that instead of contemplating the future of the planet, you will be watching the governor’s race in Kentucky. I’ll be watching it, too. I was surprised to see you calling Gov. Matt Bevin, “a pain in the ass” at the rally last night. Are you sure you want to use such crass language? Are you sure that folks in Kentucky admire that kind of person? Some people think that he’s your “mini-me.” Do you agree? I think he shot himself in the foot when he went after teachers. We’ll have to wait and see if his allegiance to you is enough to sway the voters.
I saw the moment when you hugged Nat’s catcher, Kurt Suzuki, yesterday. I was surprised that he traded in his baseball cap for a MAGA hat. I’m even more surprised that he didn’t realize that he would get some flak for that and complained that, “Everybody makes everything political.” As you and I well know, everything IS political, even baseball.
Bask in the glory of the day,
Best,
