My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

Have you thought about getting a dog? 31 of the 47 POTUSes have had one. According to the WH Historical Association, some POTUSes, like 29, always loved dogs. While some POTUSes distracted voters from their political scandals, like 37 did by talking about his Cocker Spaniel, Checkers. Others, such as 31, used a dog to humanize themselves to the public. While you may not be a dog fan, you might just become one after getting one. You might find, as 42 did, that the dogs your “one loyal friend in Washington.” 

I suggest you get yourself a rescue French Bulldog. They are descended from animals bred to have “strong jaws & a stocky build, to latch onto bulls’ noses & hold on.” That symbol of tenacity fits you perfectly. Since you aren’t on great terms with France these days, you can always write an Exec Order that renames the breed to something like DJT Bulldog. 

I am thinking about dogs today because ours is being spayed this afternoon. I was hesitant to about the procedure because women don’t have elective hysterectomies. Our reproductive systems produce helpful hormones & any surgery can get complicated, but a prof from UC-Davis’ Vet Med school convinced us that Pyometra kills too many dogs & can be prevented by removing the uterus, so we’re going ahead with the spay. 

A new dog in the WH might distract a few folks from your latest predicament regarding the Alex Pretti’s murder. Some cute pictures of you & a pet might win you some new fans.

SoW, you might be needing new fans after your team was telling people not to come to rallies with loaded weapons. Do you have a plan for bringing the NRA folks back into your fold? 

A new dog could bring you some joy, too. Everyone needs that! Even the war weary souls in Burma, who, according to the NYT, are going to all night concerts to see a “kaleidoscope of Burmese pop, synchronized dance, slapstick comedy and the retelling of legends” are managing to set aside their troubles for a moment.

BYBS,
