My dear Friend and President, DJT,
What is your gut telling you about your trip to Buenos Aires for the G20? I was just reading in the Buenos Aires Times (English Edition) that folks are worried about security. Apparently this weekend a riot erupted when the bus of Boca Junior, a major soccer team, was attacked by the fans of the River Plate, their rival. The bus driver fainted and players got injured from broken glass. The police were completely ineffective. Things were so bad that they had to cancel the game, which sounds like it was as hyped up in Argentina as the Superbowl is here. The headline reads, "scandalous hooligan violence sends shockwaves." Are you sure it's safe for you to go there?
The paper also noted that you would be having a whirlwind visit of only 48 hours where you'd be having 8 high-level meetings with various world leaders. It was hard for me to figure out who those 8 lucky folks were but after some sleuthing I determined you'd be meeting with 7 men and one woman, Angela Merkel. I was surprised that you aren't going to talk to Theresa May. Even if you don't like the Brexit deal, it would be good to maintain positive relations with England, don't you think?
The only way that I found out that you'd be having breakfast with Mauricio Macri, your host for the G20, was by reading about it in Spanish. I'm sure Mauricio is ecstatic about the new trade deal which will enable Americans to buy 20,000 tons of Argentinian hamburger. I look forward to hearing about what La Cosa Rosada is like and what they serve you. Maybe you'll have beef.
The foster dog has learned a new trick - he goes through a small opening into a box to get a treat. This has NOT prevented his annoying barking habit. Right now, he is wandering around the house looking for something to do and crying wanting to me to play with him. He needs his own little treadmill.
OK, gotta go,
RCA
