An Open Letter to Trump

3/15/2026

I recommend that all supporters of the Yankee Empire send the following letter (or something very similar) to President Donald J. Trump:

Most Highly Esteemed and Honorable President Donald J. Trump
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC

Dear President Trump,

The entire world knows how fired up and excited you are to have finally started your very own war! (Well, we know that you are basically just doing Satanyahu's bidding, but it's ok – you can still call it your own.)

I believe you have stated that there might wind up being American "boots on the ground" in Iran. Now, Mr. President, don't you think it would be extraordinarily PATRIOTIC of you to take young Barron down to the nearest recruiting station and sign him up? After all, he is 19 years old, right? Imagine the photo op! Young Barron putting his education at NYU's Stern School of Business on hold for a couple of years to serve in your BIG, BEAUTIFUL MILITARY! Come on now! Surely he can put off becoming a Wall Street investment banker, or hedge fund manager, or real estate tycoon for a couple of years while serving in your BIG BEAUTIFUL YANKEE EMPIRE MILITARY!

And if Rubio, Hegseth, Huckabee, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Roger Wicker, Randy Fine, Mike Johnson , John Thune, et al, have children between 17 and 35, encourage them to sign their kids up, too! Surely they can be trained very quickly to become maniacal killers of Iranians!

Mr. President, we know you resisted going to Vietnam in the 60s, and we can't really blame you for that, but the time is now for all good men to come to the aid of their country! And Barron, being your son, must be a damn good man! So, whattaya say?

Sincerely,

Anthony Powell

If he received such a letter, and actually read it, any reply would have to be filtered through his personal adolescent articulation which has always been humorous to a certain element of the Washington crowd, particularly the Republicans (at least they pretend they are amused). The Democrats, who are clearly fools (NO? They don’t know the difference between men and women?), reply as if anyone over the age of 6 listens to their bilge. In any event these people have NO sense of humor!
I will admit that I voted for DJT 3 times. The reason is what most of my friends also give: It was better than having a hot poker stuck in my ear.
But I have given up on him and the either liars or thugs who now support his “Caesar-like genius.”
Anyway, chances are he would never see it. It would be simply scanned by one of the juvenile advisors in the White House who love his blather and more blather about wars and “service”, and blather and wars and blather and wars and blather and wars…
Either that or the author of the letter would be called an antisemitic bigot. And a traitor.
To Donald Trump I would just write: “Get lost.”

Lincoln's military age son spent most of the war at Harvard. He was given a cushy staff job near the end. All the eligible relatives of Confederate leaders were in combat.

Doesn't surprise me in the least! Lincoln was the consummate politician, an atheist, a master of deception. People like him are more than willing to risk the lives of others but not the lives of their own blood.

I'm a proud descendant of North Carolina and South Carolina Confederates. I'm grateful for the states in the Confederacy for taking the constitutional steps to secede from the old union, for defending the South when unconstitutionally invaded and for standing up to a tyrant that sent his foreign revolutionaries and his henchman to burn, loot and pillage.

This empire, faux republic, that seems to thrive on creating chaos all over the world started in 1865. What is worse, Americans are never going to be first, we are a distant second to a little foreign country and their agents who have our politicians in their pocket.

It is Lincoln's war and the aftermath that put this ball on the tee. We are just going down the natural path of an empire. Empires tend to fall.

I can only imagine being free of it and a separate country with actual borders and our own distinct identity, sticking to our own business, as we should have been.

Oh, to have won that war.

Love that letter, Mr. Powell! I would only add that with regard to Rubio, Hegseth, Hucksterbee et al, that it's not too late for each of them to join their offspring in this noble and divinely sanctioned action. We can supply each of them with a parachute, an AR-15 and a box of MREs and air drop them right into the Straits of Hormuz...A beautiful sight!

Excellent idea, Mr. Colin! I read that Trump’s counter terrorism chief, Joe Kent has resigned. There’s a man with the guts to stand up to the bully Trump and tell the truth, the truth being Trump is being used by Satanyahu to attack a country which had attacked NO ONE! And that $100 million check Miriam Adelson wrote for Trump’s campaign was the bribe which sealed the deal.

And Mr. Colin, don't forget Linsey Graham.

He wouldn't need a parachute to float in.

Of course, send Barron, but as a feminist, I'm insisting that Ivanka get to participate too.

Dang it! Boots on the ground soon, and still no word of Barron Trump signing up! Where is the Trump patriotism?
