Dear Mr. Trump,

I hear, Sir, that our government has spent $24 million to install new, larger refrigerators and freezers on Air Force One. I also read in the Washington Post that these will accommodate 3,000 meals. Now, really, I know you have a hearty appetite and you want plenty of extra food on board for you and your billionaire friends – lobster, caviar, champagne for the drinkers, gallons of Diet Coke for you – but do you think that perhaps $24 million for a freezer or two is a bit excessive?

More than one out of every five children live in poverty in the United States today. Think of how much food that $24 million might have bought for them.

And can it be true that the amount of food that was available for Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama is not enough for you, Sir?

Eat up, Sir. Have a great meal (or two, or three, or four, or 10 a day) on us and our children.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
