Dear Mr. Trump:

It’s clear that you live in an alternative universe, one in which you make up your own facts. To argue, e.g., that North Korea no longer presents a nuclear threat, is to prove your ignorance, Sir.

What changed? Kim still has the same nuclear weapons and the same delivery system. North Korea is still at war with South Korea. That’s not a threat as far as you’re concerned, Sir? Then what is?

I guess Russia is not a threat, either, nor China. In your world of alternative facts, as long as you praise the dictators, as long as you suck up to the thugs and purveyors of terrorism, they’re good guys, “very smart.” You would have praised Hitler for being “tough” and “smart” too. You love the people who still praise Hitler and call them “very fine people.”

Kim flattered you, Sir, so now you consider him a good guy? He’s a murderer. He’ll kill anyone who disagrees with him. You’d love to do the same, I’m sure. You like Kim because he herds dissenters into concentration camps, just like you’re herding refugee children into concentration camps. Hitler stripped babies away from their parents at Auschwitz, and you’re doing it in Texas.

The thugs like Putin and Kim are your friends because you envy them and want to be just like them.

But your time in office is limited, Mr. Trump, Sir. The good American citizens who cringe at your behavior expect to vote you out of office – you and your lookalike Republic cronies – if you are not first removed by impeachment. God help the people who unjustly suffer at your hands before then.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
