#8) The Interwhat?

January 29, 2017

Dear Mr. President,

I live in rural, northern Vermont (which is a far cry from the urban jungle of metro D.C.) but up here in the hinterlands we have this thing called "The Internet" which is super helpful for information gathering and fact checking.  Like, 'What is the diameter of Jupiter?' and 'Who won the Super Bowl in 2003?' and 'What awards has Donald Trump won for his environmentalism?' (You did mention on Jan 23 that you were "to a large extent an environmentalist" and had, "won awards.")

As near as I can tell, you got just one award.  Well, it wasn't actually even given to you. In 2007 the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ was issued an award from the Metro Golf Association.  What makes this funny is that in 2011 that same golf course was cited for a "series of environmental violations" by the NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection.  How embarrassing.  Maybe it is was good that the award wasn't specifically for you.

Anyway, these are the kinds of things that you can find out on the Internet.  You might want to check and see if you get internet service in your new house there in the big city.  That way you can check facts before you open your mouth and make yourself look like a complete ass.

Just a thought.

Sincerely,
Amy "The People" Beaton
