OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BIDEN

Dear President Biden,

I hope this letter finds you and the First Lady in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my profound gratitude for the 2nd honorary certificate that you recently sent to honor the memory of my father, who was a Disabled World War II veteran. This gesture has touched our family deeply, and we are incredibly grateful for your thoughtfulness and recognition of his service.

Allow me to provide you with some context as to why our family was unable to accept the certificate signed by Donald J Trump during his tenure in office. My father held deep-rooted values of democracy, justice, and equality, which were seemingly under threat during President Trump's presidency. We were disheartened by his attempts to disenfranchise eligible voters and his efforts to hinder social services for the American people—services that my father strongly believed in and benefited from.

Additionally, when President Trump lost the second presidential election, his refusal to accept the election results and an orchestrated violent insurrection shocked our family and the nation. Witnessing such an attack on our democracy was distressing and made us question the very principles our nation was founded upon. While we hope for healing and unity, it deeply concerns us that President Trump continues to perpetuate falsehoods and attempt to reclaim the presidency, jeopardizing the fabric of our democracy.

We are grateful for your leadership, integrity, and commitment to uniting the American people. Your dedication to upholding democratic values, improving access to social services, and creating a more equitable society is reassuring, especially for families like ours who have a deep connection to the sacrifices made by our veterans. Your administration's focus on restoring faith in our institutions, addressing the needs of the nation, and strengthening the bonds of democracy is truly commendable.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to you for honoring my late father's service with the 2nd honorary certificate. It serves as a poignant reminder of his bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our great nation. 

President Biden, your thoughtfulness has brought immense comfort to our family during these challenging times. We are grateful for your steady leadership and rest assured that our family stands firmly behind you as you work towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

Now weigh the other leg.

I wrestled in HS and College and could usually estimate a man’s weight to within a pound or two. Donald Trump is 297 or more -- and if he weighs 215 then I, at 6’1” with a 36” waist am tipping the scales at 182, which was my weight class 50 years ago! What a pathetic liar. But, then, we knew that....

I went to a Country Day school in NY that played New York Military Academy, NYMA, in several sports. I was a decade after Trump, but there were stories about him as a pathetic sportsman even then, and I knew him in the club scene in NY at the height of 54 and the other hip joints. Trump was a disgusting slob then, and remains so today. And NYMA was known as the Prep School for kids who could not get into a real prep school. We had a guy flunk out of our Prep School. He went to NYMA and was their valedictorian. Trump is an imposter — not super rich, not super tall, but fat and balding, oh, and a thief and a liar and a traitor.

If the eyes are truly the window to the soul, Trump’s problems are way more serious than we imagined.
