My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

Uh oh! It’s Friday the 13th. My computer just malfunctioned & I had to restart it. Perhaps pausing to reset should be our priority today. Take stock & don’t make any rash decisions.

SoW, I continue to think you got trapped by Bibi into making a rash decision about this war. He used the urgency trick employed by salespeople to make it sound like the deal had to be made “now or never.” His spies alerted him that conditions were perfect to take out the Ayatollah & he invited you to join the assault. So you did, without thinking too far ahead. Big mistake!

Since you & I are younger than most of our siblings we are inclined to impulsivity & risk-taking, throwing caution to the wind. Usually our carefree personalities are an asset, except when it comes to long-term planning & thinking through the details. I’m on a lifelong learning curve to dot my “i’s” & cross my “t’s,” & I benefit from having friends who are more inclined to do that.

Does Susie Wiles help you with that? Did she encourage you to go ahead?

Speaking of Susie Wiles (SW), why didn’t you mention her at the Women’s History event yesterday? Clearly, her role as the chief of staff makes her one of the most powerful women in the world. Surely she is as effective as Kellyanne Conway, who you showered with praise at the event. Are you mad at SW for getting the Daily Mail headline that says she is, “at (the) center of 'screaming' panic inside Trump's White House as Iran war sends gas soaring?” I hope you will recognize her in some way before the month is over.

Was Ivanka at the event yesterday or does she steer clear of things that Melania is involved in?

Speaking of Ivanka, whatever happened to her Women’s Global Development & Prosperity Initiative which channeled $50 million from USAID to 14 projects across 22 countries? 

As you think of the plight of women around the world, please consider those living through the polycrisis in Burma. Not only do they face food scarcity, they are always under the threat of sexual violence. One woman, quoted in the Diplomat, says she feels like a “startled crow: never able to let her guard down, never able to think more than “one day at a time,” and always alert to risk.” 

I know it’s hard for a fun loving guy, like you, to hear this, but someone needs to help you understand the effects of violence on innocent people.

WINTA! 

BYBS,
