Dear Mr. Trump,

My year-long quest to write to you and elicit a response is almost coming to an end. It was foolish to think that you’d write back. I’m not one of your billionaire friends, and I’m not a thuggish dictator. I’m just one voter who will do everything he can possibly do to make “Trumpism” a thing of the past.

I see now that you have a problem with Michael Wolf’s book. How typical of you that you argue both (1) that the book is scandalous and a pack of lies and (2) that confidences were betrayed, that Stephen Bannon had been sworn to secrecy.

If he told lies to Wolff, that has nothing to do with secrecy. Secrecy pertains only to withholding the truth.

So, which is it? If secrecy is your concern, Bannon told the truth. If lying is your concern, then you cannot logically hold him to any promise of secrecy.

Sir, I will believe everything that came out of Bannon’s mouth and is quoted in this book.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
