My dear friend and president, DJT,
Congratulations on making headway on exporting more American meat to the EU. 45,000 tons of hormone-free beef, to be exact. It was nice to see all of those folks involved in the trade negotiations celebrating at the WH yesterday. Don't you love it that the National CattleMEN's Beef Association is led by a woman from TN? Maybe next time, Jennifer Houston will bring you the cowboy hat you admired so much. I hope it's not too much trouble for the ranchers to stop using hormones to grow their cows because Jani Raappana made it very clear that the imported beef would be HORMONE FREE!
"It's too bad" that things didn't work out with John Ratcliffe's nomination to become National Intelligence Director (NID). I guess being your new BF was not sufficient qualification. I encourage you to follow the provisions of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and keep Sue Gordon (SMG) on as interim NID. She's got the skills and knowledge to perform the functions until you find someone for the position. She's got quite the CV! I love the fact that she was the Deputy Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) from 2015 to 2017. I didn't even know there was such a thing as the NGA. I'm sure you use their intel all the time to figure out what KJU is up to. Please give SMG a chance. Apparently, she's got a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Best of all, she was captain of the Duke basketball team! You need someone like her in your sphere.
Take care,
RCA
