My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT, 

How’s your jet lag? Maybe you have some miracle drug that expedites recovery. I don’t have such a pharmaceutical, so I got up at about 2:30 this AM & am writing this letter at 5:37.  

Being up in the wee hours appeals to my weird side, the person who belongs in the land of misfit toys, the one who is surprised when something she says makes people laugh.  

SoW, my daughter & I share this tendency & have learned to giggle along when our comments strike people as funny. I encourage you to do the same. According to AI, “Learning to laugh when people make fun of you can be a powerful way to defuse a potentially embarrassing situation & regain control of the interaction.” I suggest trying this strategy the next time a late-night comedian says something you don’t like. 

What’s your plan for keeping the government open after Sept 30? Have you spoken with Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN-5) about her hesitation to support the continuing resolution (CR)? She claims the two of you have long conversations & that you appreciate her honesty. I find it fascinating that a Ukranian born woman is against further spending on defending her home country. Is she against a CR in general, preferring a complete budget to a stopgap measure or is she being fiscally conservative? Maybe she’s just trying to get attention, as she enters a primary race with lots of candidates. Only time will tell. 

The latest news from Burma indicates that the junta is trying to sell rubies & sapphires to the Chinese despite the fact that they don’t control the mines right now & that the mines are causing environmental devastation to the jungle. Seems like a crazy plan & another indicator of MAH’s desperation to hold on to power. Please continue to ban the import of Burmese gems to the US. Even better, buy the FLOTUS a sapphire mined in Montana & publicize the purchase so you can talk about your commitment to ethical mining practices. 

BYBS,
