Dear Mr. Trump,

I see, in one of your frequent emails to me, that you plan to “participate in an intellectual property event at the White House.”

I would have thought that a requirement for your participation might be your actual possession of intellectual property. Clearly, I was mistaken, unless the properties are deceit, misogyny, racism, narcissism, and boorishness. I know that these are not intellectual properties, per se, more like personality or character properties – okay, let’s be honest and call them flaws – but the leader of our country, to talk persuasively about anything, should not be a lying, woman-hating, self-loving, bully, and racist, right?

No, I see that you keep behaving the same way because you are “strengthening your base.”

May God protect us from you and your kind.

Bruce J. Berger
