#32) Fake News...Real Consequences

March 6, 2017

Dear Crazy-Pants,

It's nearly impossible to turn on the TV, radio, or Internet without being bombarded by the story of your wire tap tweets.  Well, as near as I can tell, you got the idea that your phones were tapped from a Breitbart "news" story.  I put the word news in quotes because Breitbart isn't actually a news outlet.  And FYI neither is the National Enquirer, the News of the World, or the Daily Mirror (to name just a few).

But here's the good news – as President of the United States, if you have a question about illegal phone taps you can just call the departments involved and ask them for a report of their activities.  Yeah, it's true.  You've got that power.

I'm not sure what you thought or hoped would happen by tweeting your accusations to millions of American citizens.  Oh wait, yes I do…you hoped to turn attention away from the mounting evidence that you and your staffers had improper and possibly illegal contact with Russian officials during the campaign.  I hate to say it, but your ploys are becoming somewhat predictable Mr. Trump.  Namely, when someone (journalists, Congress, voters) begins to question your actions, you fire off a slew of outrageously provocative tweets (usually in the wee hours of the morning so we all have something juicy to wake up to) to throw everyone off the scent, and consequences be damned!  

I think it's time for a new game plan.  Or better yet, just release your tax returns so that we can all see that you aren't in debt in any way to the governments of Russia and China.  That would end this whole thing pretty quickly. 

For someone who ran on the platform "drain the swamp" you sure seem to be wading in some murky, muddy crap.

Sincerely,

Amy Beaton

P.S.  While you were tweeting and golfing and spending tax payer money traveling to Mar-a-Lago, North Korea fired 4 ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan in direct violation of UN resolutions.  Looks like maybe you missed this because you were so focused on Arnold Schwarzenegger's TV career.  I know you had a really busy weekend but your friend Shinzo Abe would probably appreciate a call right about now.
