[…] How was the Ball last night? Did you dance with Melania? She looked fabulous! I haven’t owned a formal gown in years and haven’t been to a “Ball” since high school.[…]

Did you and J.B. compare notes on the challenge of keeping your finances hidden from public view? I was surprised to learn that he has even more money than you do. I am starting to wonder if the USA is heading in the direction of being an aristocracy where rich folk run everything […]

Today you’ll have a chance to meet Gretchen Whitmer who will be joining some other Governor elects for your WH event. She’s into building bridges rather than walls and took a bus tour of MI where the slogan was “fix the damn roads.” I think you’ll like her even if she is a Democrat […]

… I hope your meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer goes well this morning. I encourage you to sit in silence together for a few minutes so you might all get some divine inspiration to resolve our immigration disagreements. My Friend, Kary, is down at the border right now with a group of religious folk protesting the heavy military presence there. Their slogan is “Love knows no borders.” …

… I just read the piece in today’s WP about the 14 Trump associates who had conversations about a possible Trump-Putin meeting. I felt like I was reading War and Peace with all of those wonderful Russian names. Oleg Deripaska, Dmitry Klokov, Konstanin Kilmnik… It doesn’t get any better than that!…

… Your administration just asked Canada to arrest Meng Wangzhou. As you know that would be like China having Jeff Bezos arrested while he was traveling through the Phillipines. Former deupty director of CIA, John McLaughlin, finds the timing of this arrest awfully strange when you are trying to iron out a trade deal with Xi Jingping. He thinks it’s eitherduplicitous or incompetent…

…I hope you have fun at the Army/Navy game today. You better bundle up. It's going to be chilly in Philly. There's a lot of hype about the team uniforms. The Army outfits honor the Black Lions of Cantigny who fought in WWI and Navy's have something to do with their mascot, the goat. I hope our tax dollars are not paying for those…

The orange foster dog will be going to his new forever home today. I hope they can provide him with all of the stimulation and affection that he requires. who knew that so much energy could reside in a 10-pound body? We’ll miss him but it will be a lot calmer around here when he’s gone…

What was it like to be sitting with 3 other Presidents and their wives at the funeral yesterday? I wish it had been a happier occasion. Trevor Noah had some funny commentary about how awkward you all looked and joked that Melania didn't seem very happy to be sitting next to you….

Are you ready for the GWH Bush's funeral today? I understand that he'll be wearing some sox with planes flying in formation. Have you decided what sox you'll be wearing at your funeral? According to the NYT, presidents start planning their funerals shortly after they arrive in office. What lucky staff member gets that job?

It's great that Frank's retiring from his job as Congressional Representative for NJ's 2nd District after helping out his "coasties" with $7.9 billion in operating expenses and $2.6 billion in facilities improvements along with some "fast response cutters" and some drones. Best of all his bill eliminates some duplicate regulations on commercial fishing boats about their discharge. Vessels will no longer have to be inspected by the EPA and Coast Guard. I assume Mr. LoBiondo had to attend to numerous details and visit with a whole slew of people to get that bill written in such a way that 94 Senators could vote for it. That's worth celebrating.
What are your thoughts about driving these days? In May, 2017, Bloomberg reported that you missed driving. I like driving on open roads but am very happy I don't have to do it every day. I think biking to work is much better for my karma.
Did you learn something new at the G20? How was your steak dinner with the Chinese contingent? It's great that you agreed to hold off on increasing tariffs for the time being, and I hope that China will buy more soybeans. I was surprised to learn that a lot of the fentanyl sold on the streets of the US comes from China and hope that their promise to treat it as a controlled substance has the desired effect.
