Dear Mr. Trump,

I see that your staff “forgot” to book you a room for the G-20 summit. What a shame! How could the people you hire be so callous? Although I realize that the summit is in Hamburg, not Vienna, do you think this could be a Freudian slip?

Or, do you think Hillary was behind it all? You know, those emails?

Seriously, though, you’re doing a bit better. I saw that you reluctantly shook Angela Merkel’s hand when she offered it, and you managed to get off-camera before taking the Purell bottle from one of your aides. You’re learning diplomacy!

Best of luck, sir, on the rest of your trip.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
