To the White House occupant who’s not personally bothered …


Dear Mr. Trump,

According to AP’s Jill Colvin and Darlene Superville you’ve stated that you’re not “personally bothered” by North Korea’s recent short-range missile tests. It raises the question about what, if anything, would “personally bother” you.

You’re not personally bothered by your reputation – self-proclaimed – for “grabbing women by their p***ies.”

You’re not personally bothered by the hate-mongering of the American Nazis and Ku Klux Klan, whom you’ve described as “some very fine people.”

You’re not personally bothered by your own conduct in mocking a disabled reporter. Here’s a clip: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-adk-adk_sbnt&hsimp=yhs-adk_sbnt&hspart=adk&p=video+of+trump+mocking+disabled+reporter#id=1&vid=78f64cc00bf636941e575a867ce80ed9&action=click

You’re not personally bothered your more than 10,000 documented lies, e.g., about Barack Obama’s birthplace and about thousands of American Muslims celebrating on 911. The list goes on ad infinitum.

You’re not personally bothered that your foolish trade war and imposition of tariffs, a tax on the American consumer that’s also destroying the farm industry in states that supported you.

You’re not personally bothered by your calling Africa a “bunch of s—hole countries.”

You’re not personally bothered about demeaning the world standing of the United States, destroying any trust that foreign countries might’ve had about our commitments, reneging on agreements such as the climate accord, the trans-Pacific partnership, and the nuclear accord with Iran.

You’re not personally bothered by the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia, and, in fact, have rewarded that dictatorship with more weapons.

When is something going to personally bother you? When are you going to care about anything other than saving your own neck by your continued cover-up?

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger

    This time in our country is so frightening, so unsettling. I feel an almost desperate hope that good will prevail , that people of good will will come out to repudiate this angry, self-centered, deceitful man. Thank you for your continued commentary directed at him. Unfortunately, we know that he does not read, is not interested in thoughts or opinions outside of his own, but you do build solidarity among like minded people. Bless you, Bruce Berger.

      Thanks, Janet. At least I know that thousands of people will read what I write, which by itself carries a big responsibility.
