My dear Friend and President, DJT,

 Have you seen how the papers have reacted to your Exec. Order yesterday? In case you're too busy to do so, I consulted 10 papers for you. I'm afraid almost all them expressed outrage. The exceptions were the Las Vegas Review Journal which did not to have an editorial on the issue and the NY Post which supported you. 

            Here's what the others had to say: The NYT had some useful info about where the $ is coming from, including, " $2.5 billion from the military’s drug interdiction program." The WP had 4 facts to prove, "There is no crisis at the southern border."The WSJ gave a history lesson, noting the outrage at Truman when he tried to take over the steel industry. The Chicago Trib wondered, "If he succeeds, how will Trump next seek to impose his will on Americans?" The Boston Globe worried about the House and Senate surrendering constitutional power and the Houston Chronicle suggested that you regarded an act of Congress as "an inconvenient obstacle." The Daily News called the move, "a patent perversion of the balance of power." Last but not least, Breitbart had a quote from Ann Coulter who said "look the only national emergency is that our president is an idiot.”I am sorry that she is so nasty!

            Almost everyone is quoting your statement, "“I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn’t need to do this [declare an emergency]. But I’d rather do it much faster.” I encourage you to exercise more caution in your remarks next time.Clearly it's not an urgent matter. If it were, you wouldn't be taking the weekend off for a few rounds of golf. 

            I encourage you to get some help with your impulsivity challenges. Either start practicing meditation or find a good therapist. It's never too late to develop self-regulation so you can avoid contradicting yourself.

            Best,
