My dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

            I understand that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti will be visiting the WH today to make an economic agreement of some sort. I wish I had more time to learn about their challenges. I suspect that they have something to do with Trepca where lead, silver & zinc are mined at a huge complex. Apparently, it’s been the site of lots of conflicts between the Serbs & Albanians. Perhaps, an economic agreement will help them to normalize relations. I’m glad that they are talking, I just wonder why they had to fly half way around the world to do so.

         Did you see the article in the WP reporting on evictions? It said that 248,000 households are not going to be able to pay their rents this month. One mom was trying to make it on her own with her 3 kids, but couldn’t pay her rent after she lost her job at a flooring company. Another couple were both sick with CV when the sheriff deputies came knocking at their door. The biggest problem for these folks is that they will never have the $$ to pay their back rent. According to the article you made some kind of order about evictions on Tuesday, but it’s not helping these folks. I hope you’ll try to do more.

         I encourage you to call KC Mayor Quinton Lucas. He can help you understand what it’s like to have rent problems. He can also help you understand why you need to support BLM. Just yesterday in KC, a 12-year-old white boy was arrested for a hate crime against an African American girl. He hit her over the head with a pole knocking her unconscious. You can imagine how distraught her mom is. It would be really nice if you could give them a call to tell them how sorry you are & commit yourself to doing something to address racism. While you are at it, you could call Donald Prude’s family, too.

         HYITL,
