Dear Mr. Trump,

I find it mind-boggling that you don’t realize that you, yourself, signed the current effort at a travel ban. You are blaming the Department of Justice? That’s amazing, since you are the head of the Executive Branch of our government, of which the Department of Justice is a part. The did what you told them to do. This tells me again that you do not realizing what you are reading; that you don’t even take the time to read the papers placed before you for your signature.

My advice, sir, is that you stop trying to blame everyone else but yourself. Recognize that the revised travel ban is equally offensive as the first travel ban, in that your animus is against a religion and that you are violating the First Amendment of the United States Constitution by discriminating on the basis of faith.

And, by the way, sir, stop trying to turn Britain’s tragedies to your political advantage. You are callous as well as thoughtless.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
