A Letter From Donald Trump

The message, printed on White House letterhead in both English and Spanish, touts the administration’s response to the coronavirus, including aid provided through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program, a U.S. Department of Agriculture initiative to buy fresh food and ship it to needy families.

Does it also talk about how well the stock market is doing? I’m sure that would help cheer those ragamuffins up.

If I received a food aid box that contained a note from Trumpty Dumpty, I’d suspect that a very rancid “Trump Steak” was hiding somewhere within, teaming with MAGAts from the cesspit. Totally, totally toxic. Time to take the windup and hurl. :face_vomiting:

Trump is maximizing his “free” campaign gimmick through the use of administrative and/or government resources :point_down:

  1. Administrative resources. Autocrats and semi-autocrats frequently use government resources for personal electoral gain. We have #HatchAct to prevent such behavior in the U.S. It’s obviously not working.

It’s unethical and unlawful and speaks so much for what the Trump regime is all about
= Corruption + Lawless & Disorder!

It’s a good idea to pack the toilet paper with the food.

People are rightly concerned with how we rebuild the trust and respect to “norms” etc, I think the only way to get that back is to truly Truth and Reconciliation Commission these people into paying the piper for their crimes, misdeeds, lies, neglect, and dereliction.

Take their ill-gotten gains made at the expense of the American People, and put it back into the States and Communities and Bank Accounts of the American People. Put them in prison for the worst of them, and that especially means anyone named Trump. If the “Conservatives” know there are real painful consequences to their deeds, they will rightly think twice the next time.

And Mitch McConnell, I think he needs to be made a special example, an example that people will never forget, that the textbooks will discuss for 9 and 90 years, that will garner more views than the latest insane who Killed Diana theory.

That’s what I think.
