 Are you ready for your trip to Hanoi? You'll be leaving in about an hour. Did you pack everything that you'll need? I always manage to forget something. It would be nice to have staff take care of my packing for me. Maybe next time I go on a trip, you can send me one of your helpers….

… I hope that KJU does not read Jonathan Greenburg's piece in the WP today about the 6 essential cons that define you. If he does, he'll probably turn that train headed for Hanoi around and go right back to building nukes at Yongbyon. …

…If I had more energy, I'd craft a brilliant missive. I'd celebrate your renaming of NASA's Fairmont, W.Vafacility to the Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation Facility to honor the 100 year old African American mathematician. I'd recognize your new UN pick, Kelly Knight and tease you about her strange statement regarding climate change where she claimed to  "respect both sides of the science."

…How was your visit with Chancellor Kurz yesterday? According to the NYT you two are kindred spirits and you are impressed with how young he is. The EU Observer claims you are not "best friends after all," because you want to put tariffs on Austria car parts and Sebastian doesn't want to waste tax payer money on the military. ..

…I hope this weather doesn't screw up your visit with Austrian Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz. Help me understand why you are taking the time to meet with him right now. Are you going to give him a hard time about the $9 billion trade deficit we had with them in 2018?…

…Feel free to give me a call so we can chat about it. According to today's WP you are the "chatterbox in chief" and like to have impromptu conversations with Senators. Apparently, they can call Madeleine Westerhout and she puts them through. I am not much of a phone person but, for you, I'll make an exception….

I was going to ask you who your favorite president was, but then I googled it and found out. According to a Forbes Interview from 2014, you are a big fan of Ronald Reagan's. He's not MY top choice, but I think he did have a kind demeanor and lovely speaking voice.

…    Almost everyone is quoting your statement, "“I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn’t need to do this [declare an emergency]. But I’d rather do it much faster.” I encourage you to exercise more caution in your remarks next time. Clearly it's not an urgent matter. If it were, you wouldn't be taking the weekend off for a few rounds of golf […]

…Speaking of math, you have to take a look at Süss, a math widget, where you can change the parameters of a heart shape generated by an algebraic equation. The algorithm that controls it has something to do with "singularities" which is "a jump in an otherwise continuous process," kind of like your presidency[…]

… How about a combination of prickly pear cactus and bollards? The prickly pear would discourage those on foot and the bollards would discourage vehicles. It would be aesthetically pleasing and weary travelers could eat the pears. A win-win! You could call it a "natural wall," superior to concrete because it will grow rather than crumble…

 I am glad to hear that the wall thing is almost finished. I assume that's what you meant when you had all of those signs in El Paso that said, "Finish the Wall." You meant to finish the conversation, right? […]
