Dear Mr. President,
The other day you gave the commencement speech at the Coast
Guard Academy graduation and were thoroughly skewered by the entire Internet
because you only talked about yourself.
Does your ego have no limits?
Anyway, I really got a hoot out of reading the comments and I thought
you might too. So here are some of my
favorites; they are in response to when you said, "No politician in history, and I say this
with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."
@tedlieu: That's
because no President in history has been worse.
@CharlieYoungEsq: under a picture of Nelson Mandela he writes, "Umm...ok..."
@popehat: Coast
guard cadets know that a flailing, drowning person can be dangerous to would-be
rescuers.
@TrumpDementia:
Even one whose birthplace and religion were constantly questioned by his
eventual successor?
@BSmegg: I'd say
Kennedy, McKinley and Lincoln were, all things considered, demonstrably treated
more "unfairly" than Trump has been to date.
@StevenSSWrites: What about Lyin' Ted Cruz, Little Marco Rubio, or Fake Tears Schumer?
@adharves: I'd be
interested in the views of Jakarta's jailed governor Ahok on Trump's assertion
about politicians treated unfairly.
@tar791: Lincoln
and JFK did not respond immediately to requests for comment...
@DavidCornDC:
Apparently not even Julius Caesar
@WTFisGoingOnDon: In
1672, a mob of angry Dutch killed and ate their prime minister. Options. Just sayin'.
And I would personally like to add that Hilary Clinton was
treated a whole lot more unfairly during the 2016 campaign. She handled it with
dignity and grace and should be a role model for politicians everywhere.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
