Dear Mr. Trump,

Stop lying. It’s really getting rather boring and old, ya know?

Mr. Mueller said that Russian interference in our election was not a hoax, as you continually claim, so, for once, stop lying.

Mr. Mueller told us that Russian interference in our democracy and free elections is continuing as of this very minute, that it is a great danger to the very existence of this country, so stop lying.

Mr. Mueller pointed out that his investigation was not a “witch hunt,” so stop calling it that. Why shouldn’t we investigate the way a deadly and murderous foreign adversary – remember Khrushchev’s promise that the Soviet Union would bury us? – has interfered with our democracy? So, for once, stop calling Mr. Mueller’s entirely appropriate and necessary investigation a “witch hunt.”

Mr. Mueller made clear that he didn’t even investigate “collusion.” So stop claiming that his investigation proves “no collusion.” Your lies are entirely boring.

And the truth about your collusion is obvious; you invited Russia to interfere in 2016 and you’ve already invited Russia to meddle again, promising to accept their help once it’s offered. It’s no surprise your Republican collaborators in the Senate refused to consider a House-passed bill that would strengthen our protections against such foreign interference in our elections.

Mr. Mueller emphasized that his investigation did not exonerate you from the charge of obstruction of justice, so stop claiming “total exoneration.”

All in all, Mr. Trump, you’re a pathetic, repetitive, and boring liar, even though your crazed and cultist supporters would rather believe you (or say they do) than the words of an American hero (and a lifelong Republican).

Disgust is too light a description of the regard that a majority of Americans have for you, Sir.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
