Letter to the editor: Send a postcard to thin-skinned president on 3/15
On March 15, many people will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Don that he’s fired.
Each of us — every protester from every march, each Congress-calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor and petition-signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15, well: you do the math.
No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.
Prepare for March 15, 2025, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump
Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Take a picture and post it on social media tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let Donnie know how he’s doing. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.
Then, on March 15, mail your messages to:
President(for now)Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20500
It might just be enough to make him crack or at least stress him out or find his humanity.
