Dear Mr. Corrupt President,

Your behavior is so far from “perfect” – your new favorite adjective – that any Republican who tries to echo your sentiments is in grave danger of losing his or her office.

Imagine Sen. Amy Klobuchar was nominated to run against you in 2020, as well she might. Imagine that China has hacked into your campaign’s private emails, found evidence that your campaign urges you to lie about your accomplishments because “your stupid base will believe anything.” Imagine that the Klobuchar campaign, aware of these thefts and the imminent release of the emails, plans its own actions accordingly.

You and the Republican hypocrites in Congress would be screaming bloody hell, but your campaign did exactly that in 2016, and you consider this “perfect.”

(Of course, neither Sen. Klobuchar nor any other potential Democratic nominee would do as I’ve outlined. It’s only you, Mr. Corrupt President.)

Imagine that, having received the nomination, Sen. Klobuchar’s campaign asks the Chinese or Iranian governments to begin an investigation of you, Donald Trump, e.g., to find evidence of multiple tax frauds and other illegal conduct, to find “corruption.” Imagine that she offers a bargain for that “favor, though”: concessions on a trade agreement, concessions on sanctions, etc.

You and the Republican hypocrites in Congress would be screaming bloody hell, but, when you engage in exactly the kind of conduct with the Ukrainian government, you call it “perfect.” And now the spineless Republicans are echoing that sentiment.

(Of course, neither Sen. Klobuchar nor any other potential Democratic nominee would do as I’ve outlined. It’s only you, Mr. Corrupt President.)

Perfect? Your behavior is perfectly corrupt, perfectly anti-democratic, perfectly an abuse of power, perfectly treasonous.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger

PS – I hope my readers send this to their Republican representatives and senators.
