I met a woman yesterday--a friend of a friend--who writes a letter to Trump every week and mails it through the US post office. She said she gives him advice—“not exactly friendly, but polite, and coming from a place of love”.
And she often recommends something for him to read.
(Yes, she knows.)
Just before New Year, she'd written out this poem for him.

I wonder if anyone reads her letters
ReplyDeleteShe said somebody has to read the letters for security reasons – – maybe some intern scans them?
DeleteShe also sends copies to various senators —and friends.
Probably the biggest effect is on her own self in her circle,
I would guess.
I said I would love a list her reading suggestions
