My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

            Marvelous Mistakes! We award those in the fourth-grade classrooms with a little statue of Captain Marvel. We want kids to take risks in math & not be afraid of failure, so when someone stretches, tries something new & has a misstep, we consider it a good thing & take a photo of them holding the statue.

Please thank Mike Waltz(MGGW) for taking responsibility for the text SNAFU. He set an excellent example for the youth of America by admitting his error. I’m not so sure we want our National Security Adviser taking big risks, but, at least in this case, no harm was done, except maybe to your faith in MGGW. Some opine that you are more concerned that he had Jeffrey Goldberg’s number saved in his phone than anything else. I’m sure he’s relieved that you haven’t fired him, yet.

            Some are surprised this is the first leak since your inauguration. Do you agree with Politico’s observation that Susie Wiles (SW) is responsible? Do you also agree with James Blair’s assessment that she’s “good about getting the group beneath the president to work together, be aligned & stay focused on the key mission.” He noted that under her leadership “people gain respect for each other.” I’m glad to hear that!

            Has SW organized the Women’s History event at the WH today?  Will Rep Kat Cammack (KCC) (FL-3) be there, too? If so, please talk to her about the concerns of the citrus farmers who are worried that Canada is going to start buying their OJ from Brazil. Americans’ consumption of OJ is half of what it was in 2000, so they are dependent on exports to keep their farms. They don’t want a trade war on top of an incredibly volatile market with unpredictable growing conditions. KCC received the “Outstanding New Member of Congress Award” from the American Farm Bureau Federation back in 2023, so she’ll have lots of ideas to share.

            Please make an inquiry about how things are going at the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox Bazaar since you halted the work of USAID. The people in the camp can’t work so they are totally dependent on the UN for food, shelter & medical supplies. The Independent reports that young folks in the camp are sneaking off to train with various armies in the jungle preparing to fight both the Arakan Army & the junta. That will not end well for anyone. Please see what you can do to prevent that!!!

            BYBS,
