… I am writing about the weather this morning because I really don't have much else to say today. I could tease you about having some empty seats in the arena in Greensville this week and ask you to clarify what you really think about the "Send her back" chant that day….

 How did your visit with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte (MR) go? …Isn't it great that the Dutch import more US goods than they export to us employing 800,000 US workers? I think their path to success is that they are tolerant, inclusive and pragmatic…

 I hope you will reflect on what you heard from the people that you met in the Oval Office yesterday who were telling you about the religious persecution they had suffered. … They are suffering because leaders of their countries capitalize on hate. Do you want to capitalize on hate? I don't think so…

 I found it interesting that TX Rep. William Hurd voted with the Dems to condemn those tweets yesterday. He's a fascinating guy, don't you think? The Texas Monthly noted that he is "exuberant and wonky" and manages to "speak truth to power." He's an old-fashioned conservative while being against the Wall and your immigration policies… " Do you think he could be President someday? We could do worse.

How did the Made in America Showcase go? I read your remarks. Thank goodness there were no surprises. I wish you had taken the opportunity to apologize for hurting so many people's feelings with your tweet about the "squad." …

 I'm sorry I sent yesterday's letter late in the day AFTER you sent your VERY nasty tweet telling your detractors to "go back where they came from." Perhaps if you had seen my letter early in the day you would have refrained and then people like Thersa May wouldn't have to tell the world that your language was "completely unacceptable." …

I would love to see you stop with those nasty tweets. Calling Paul Ryan, "Weak, ineffective & stupid" after you once tweeted, he is "a truly good man, and while he will not be seeking re-election, he will leave a legacy of achievement that nobody can question." Which statements am I supposed to believe? That kind of inconsistency makes you sound like a fair-weather friend, who can't be trusted. You don't want to sound like that, do you? …

How was the trip to Wisco yesterday? I'm afraid that you riled up some folks when you said, "Some of the farmers are doing well ... We're over the hump. We're doing really well." Sadly, that's not the case. 700 farms in WI shut down last year. ….

…I hope you enjoy your visit to the Derco Aerospace plant today. Will Merillyn Hewson (MAH) be there to show off the inventory of 60,000 fixed wing airplane parts? It's nice of you to give Hewlett Packard some publicity. Was it part of the deal that you struck with MAH on Wed. when she agreed to keep that Sikorsky rotocraft plant open in PA?…

…Talking about counting words, I am running out of them so I won't have space to ask questions about Seema Verma and how she is "routing taxpayer dollars to GOP consultants" to burnish her image as the head of Medicaid. Tell her to talk to my former Chancellor Linda Katehi about the dangers of doing that…

…RAA is doing a good job helping with the kidney situation. It's too bad that he did such a bad job handling Jeff Epstein's crimes in 2008. …According to Rep. Katherine Clark of MA RAA "chooses the powerful and wealthy over the vulnerable and victims of sexual assault." I hope that's not true and if it is, you'll need to find a new Sec. of Labor.

Wasn't it nice of Bruce Hrobak to say such nice things about you during his remarks at the environmental gathering at the WH yesterday? … He mentioned that fertilizer is the source of the algae problems that are affecting his bait business. I'm afraid that the problems might persist since you rolled back the Clean Water Act which protected waterways from fertilizers and pesticides.

…I'm surprised that the Amir is in DC right now, when his country is hosting a bunch of Taliban leaders as they negotiate for peace. My guess is that he is trying to stay in your good graces as he deals with the Saudis embargoing him and continues to be friendly with Iran….

It looks like Melania had a wonderful trip to Africa. I wish I could have gone with her. Kenya and Ghana are on my bucket list and bottle feeding a baby elephant would be a dream come true. According to the NYT she made some questionable choices in wearing colonial era hats. Perhaps she needs a consultant.

…Did you see the article about Ilhan Omar (IAO) in today's WP? They say she's unlike anyone who has served in Congress before and has a "complicated story." That sounds like you. …Among the other things that you and IAO have in common are your "long shot campaigns," your "complicated marriage histories," your tendencies to ""botch basic facts" and your "struggles to see the humanity in your opponents."…
