Dear Mr. Trump,

Something else you haven’t read in A Warning is the series of questions Anonymous poses to the people who voted for you in 2016. After noting that we’ve been phenomenally lucky to avoid “a monumental international crisis” since you’ve been in office, he/she goes on to ask:

“Do you want to keep our nuclear arsenal, and our nation’s military, under the stewardship of a man who ignores intelligence briefings, who puts his self-interest ahead of the country’s needs during international engagements, who enjoys the company of foreign thugs, who our enemies think is a fool they can manipulate, who has shunned our friends, whose credibility has been shattered, and who are national security leaders no longer trust?” (244-45)

Obviously, any sane person who voted for you would have to vote against you in 2020 unless they answer “yes” to these questions: “Yes” they’d love to have another four years of your ignoring intelligence briefings. “Yes” they’d love to have another four years of your putting your self-interest ahead of America’s. “Yes” they’d love have to have another four years of your sucking up to foreign thugs. “Yes” they’d love to have another four years of your not being trusted by our national security leaders.

Anonymous astutely points out that your former voters can “bury [their] heads in the sand” and vote for you again in 2020 or recognize your moral depravity and total unfitness to lead our country and, by firing you, “rejuvenate public life.” (256) Anonymous urges voters to heroically stand against you in 2020 as the courageous souls on United 93 heroically fought against their hijackers on September 11, 2001.

Anonymous’s point, if you’re missing it, is that you’re as much of a threat to America as al-Qaeda.

Sadly, I must concur.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
