My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

Happy Juneteenth! 

SoW, I’m disappointed that the News section of the WH website does not say anything about the federal holiday we are celebrating today. Have you given up on advocating for African Americans? I remember back in 2017 when Omnarosa was in the WH representing the Black perspective. Who does that for you now? 

OoM, what do you plan to do at Camp David this weekend? Are you going to have a shinrin-yoku where you immerse yourself in the sights, sounds & sensations of the forest, so your body soaks in the intracellular anti-cancer proteins emitted by the trees? To get the best effects you’ll have to hike uphill to find the evergreens that respire pinene. If you don’t have the energy for that you’ll get some limonene from the tulip poplar that grow at a lower elevation. Either way,  walking through the woods will do you a world of good!!!

As you stroll, I encourage you to contemplate how you can repair your relation with Giorgia Meloni. You may have to acknowledge that you made a mistake when you said she begged you for a photo with her. You don’t want to lose your only friend in the EU, so best to apologize for offending her.

Back to Camp David, will JDV & MAR be there? It’s too bad that JDV’s trip to Nidwalden was canceled, but maybe that’s for the best. Now he can get more clarity about how best to pursue a resolution to EFO. As you know, the media has seized on JDV’s negotiation efforts as an opportunity to highlight the rivalry between him & MAR & to speculate on which of the two you will endorse to be POTUS 48. I suspect that you haven’t decided & are waiting to see how this whole thing plays out.

I like to think that JDV is as averse to war as I am & believe he genuinely wants EFO to end ASAP. That’s why he gave Iran such generous terms that folks are saying “Ronald Regan is rolling over in his grave.” 

While I am all for ending EFO, I am still scratching my head about why we would promise that Israel would stop attacking Hezbollah. Bibi can’t afford to look like he’s doing your bidding, so even if he wants to pull out of Lebanon, he can’t. Was that clause put there to ensure failure? If so, then JDV is not as smart as I thought.

OoM, please call your buddy XJ & insist that he talk to MAH about Aung Sun Suu Kyi (ASSK). Her son just skateboarded 81 km though Hyde Park to draw attention to the “Proof of Life” campaign calling for independent verification that ASSK is alive & in good health. It’s her 81st birthday today & folks in Burma are risking arrest by wearing roses in their hair. 

How about putting a rose in your hair? The whole world would smile if you did that.

BYBS,
