My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

I am alarmed! I am doing my best to remain on an even keel but it’s not easy!

Writing these letters, deep breathing & putting my hands in the dirt are some of the many strategies that I am using to keep my serotonin at a manageable level, but these only go so far. I am managing to hold it together & I am depending on you to clam down so I can relax a bit.

The most extreme jolt happened at 5:58 AM yesterday, Easter morning, when the building’s alarm system blasted me awake. I was the first one out the door after grabbing my robe. While the speed of my reaction is impressive, I now know I was experiencing sleep inertia because my thoughts were garbled as I tried to help my husband figure out why the alarm was sounding when there was no apparent smoke or fire anywhere in the building. I’m still jittering.

Then, this morning I saw the totally inappropriate language you used in your post about opening the Strait of Hormuz, & my nerves got agitated again. To me your use of the worst expletive in the lexicon is an indicator of how desperate you are to get out of your mess. Psychologists observe this all the time when their clients can’t stand the dissonance of a situation they are in. I believe your alarm bells are sounding & you just want it to end. I have to remind you WINTA!!! Committing a war crime by destroying civilian infrastructure will make matters worse. Rather than getting relief from your stress overload, you will multiply it. 

I’m sure you got a bit of relief from hearing about the rescue of the aircraft’s weapons systems officer who was missing after his F-15E Strike Eagle went down. I’m grateful that the mission was a success, but disappointed that you haven’t learned your lesson of the human & financial costs of war. According to the Times of India the rescue mission cost $315 million including the price of the two C-130s & two Blackhawk helicopters which were destroyed during the rescue. Not the best use of our tax $$.

You do not want to join MAH in having to fend off accusations of war crimes! Please do what you have to recenter yourself so you can come up with some creative ideas to get yourself out of your mess. We all need to see that you have your wits about you & have some control over your emotions.

BYBS,
