My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,
How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was lovely, with the exception of a bruised ego that came from stumbling & falling on my chin during the turkey trot. Given your recent challenges keeping your balance, you know how demoralizing it can be when you misstep.
What’s your take on the Hindustan Times’ coverage of your activities? I ask because 4 days ago they ran a story, “Trump's viral limping video raises new health concerns amid outing with grandson, ‘Does he have a prosthesis?’ Atlanta Black Star was the only US based media outlet to report on that. I saw the video & didn’t notice a limp. I regret that folks are so eager to assume your health is failing & wonder why the Indian press is perpetuating this.
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. At age 20, her life had just begun. Her senseless killing brings so many questions to mind including, what did the shooter hope to accomplish by driving from Bellingham, WA, to kill soldiers? Where did he get his gun? Can we assume that the actions of one misguided individual generalize to everyone else from his country? Why do we continue to place our young people in positions to kill one another when we know how much it damages their psyches? When will we realize that WINTA?
While the shooter acted in an odious fashion, he is still a human, so I ask that you avoid using terms like “monster” & “animal” to describe him. I encourage you to shine the spotlight on the victims & remind Americans about programs like AFPAK Hands (Afghanistan/Pakistan Hands) which endeavored to build enduring relationships between Americans & Afghanis to fight the Taliban. We owe our allies a debt of gratitude & should not be vilifying all of them based on the actions of one individual.
OoM, did you see that the junta released 3,085 prisoners prosecuted under post-coup legislation restricting free speech, including one of Augn San Suu Kyi’s deputies? I assume they want to promote the illusion they are having a free & fair election. Please continue to pressure them to change their ways.
BYBS,
RCA
