Dear Donald: Circling The Wagons?

Donald, are you circling the wagons with your latest firing of Rex Tillerson? I read you’ve either hired or are in talks with the guy who advised Clinton on impeachment, so you have to be quaking a bit right now. I would be if I were you. I just listened to a clip of Tillerson announcing what you did to him. I never thought he was appropriate for the job, but dude, the timing suggests that you didn’t like that Rex said the Russians did the nerve gas attack in England. Do you not understand that this was a hostile attack on an ally?

If you have no involvement with Russia, which no one with a brain believes you don’t, you’d move heaven and earth to signal every second of every day that you’re willing to respond to a rogue nation that hacked our election. In other words, you would let the sanctions go forward that Congress voted on. Otherwise, your Russian allegiance is showing. To everyone.

You keep saying that no one is smarter than you while the world waits to see any evidence. Your regime is as leaky as a sieve, and you see no problem with compromising all sorts of intelligence operations we and other allies have. And on Twitter, no less. You really fired Rex on Twitter? Interesting workplace environment you have there. Are you sure you have enough money left for all the lawsuits that will be filed? Because whether it’s sexual harassment or simply making the workplace so volatile that no one can work there, it’s actionable in court. But then you probably already know that.

First things first, however. Fire your kids. Send them all packing, particularly Jared. Security clearances matter and none of you have the right to engage in deals that increase your own income. Which is what is happening. It doesn’t matter if you take no salary, the deal at the Jersey shore involving Jared’s property is clear enough if going to your golf resorts each weekend isn’t. You and your family are grifting off the American people and it must stop.

But back to Russia. And your friend, Vlad. Your little infatuation with this guy is embarrassing. Do you not know that he’s using you? Do you not know that you’re a Russian agent? You were flipped years ago and no matter your protests, no one believes you anymore. And the insanity you expect everyone to live with will no doubt flip more than you. It will turn the country into a more bluish hue. You won’t lose everyone, but you’re losing more than you can even imagine.

It’s sad that you couldn’t be the businessman you claim that you are. Because had you truly been successful, you wouldn’t need Russian money, or Israeli influence either. You’d be your own man. Rise and fall on your own accord. But no. Instead, you found yourself in need of cash and you went to the one place that would willingly give it to you. Just refer to the clips of Donald Jr. talking about it. He said that your family has all the influx of cash that you need from Russia. He said it.

Two words: duct tape. It works, particularly if you put the end of the tape around the backside of the head. Smoosh it down. Hard. And don’t send him to any more chocolate factories, and don’t let him eat ice cream in public. Parent to parent, it’s not worth the humiliation. A lot of boys really don’t grow up. Which is why we’re so worried about you.

Oh, another thing you seem confused about. Cabinet secretaries, Congressional lawmakers, they’re not your lap dogs. This whole loyalty oath you want is mobster-esque. Is that who you want to be? A mobster? Are you, in fact, our country’s Mafiosa Don? Because that’s unacceptable although it would explain so much.

Well, I guess that’s it. Look, you really don’t belong in the White House. And in your quietest moments, you must know that. You know, before executive time and the tweeting begins. You must know that your lack of awareness of how government runs shows every time you speak. And I’m not a fan of bloated government and I agree we need to restructure things, but you’re not doing that. You’re filling the so-called swamp with the swampiest of creatures. Betsy DeVos is a prime example of this.

Donald, when you don’t live in the same world as the majority of the rest of us, then you can’t govern. You can’t. It’s not possible. You want to preserve your own lifestyle at the expense of the country. You live an unrealistic life. Your Cabinet secretaries use their budgets to take vacations and use private jets to get wherever they need to go. No one is interested in actually running their agencies. Apparently, they’re not finished decorating yet.

I remember when the news came out about Sarah Palin’s attempt to redecorate the mayor’s office when she was elected as Wasilla’s mayor. I lived in Wasilla for three years when I was a child. In fact, I was there during the 9.2 earthquake in 1964. I read an article where a man was quoted who I remember from living there. He was from a dog sledding family as were we and I recognized his name immediately. He was describing what her office looked like when she was done and I laughed out loud when he said it resembled a brothel, red wallpaper or something like that.

But then I stopped laughing when I read that she used $55,000 from the road budget to do it. I lived there, Donald. She took from everyone when she did that. When I lived there, Wasilla had only 100 residents. Now it’s obviously much bigger, but the needs of the community haven’t changed. $55,000 is a lot of money when you need to plow a road or rescue someone from the ditch, or from hitting a moose. It’s not for Palin to redecorate her office. Hold a bake sale. Let the kids decorate the office. Teach them something about government and service in the process.

But not Sarah.

And apparently, not your Cabinet secretaries, your wife, your kids, or you either.

If you want to fleece someone, fleece Russia. Otherwise, do the country a favor and go home. And while you’re at it, take the GOP with you. It may just be the single, most intelligent thing you’ve done in your entire life.

 

We’ll talk again soon.

Blessed Be
