Badass – Letter Two to Trump
by George Thomas Clark
Dear President Trump,
I hate to contaminate my prose with your foul-mouthed gangsterism, but for context it’s necessary to quote your Truth Social post at 1:03 p.m. on April 5, 2026: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Even by your abysmal standards of arrogance and dishonesty, that’s a helluva nasty message, especially from the leader of a powerful nation. You again need to be reminded you were twice involved in negotiations with Iran and each time Pearl-Harbored them with a criminal attack before the next scheduled meeting. Being a badass and military genius, you after the second betrayal quickly inflicted such overwhelming damage, including the slaughter of a hundred seventy schoolgirls, that you boldly demanded “unconditional surrender.” That existential term generally evokes memories of what the Soviet Union, the Union States, Great Britain, and their many allies had earned after several years of unimaginable bloodshed during World War II. God, what a pitiful wartime leader you are compared to Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill.
Historical evidence proves that you’ve always been deceitful and a bully, but I must point out that yesterday I read this quote from October 2019: “The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE…”
In a time of worsening news, those words made me feel good and I thought, “There’s a bright and stable person who understands how to avoid disasters.” Then I looked at the photo next to the post and was amazed to see it was you who had spoken. If you had been a wise or even moderately stable man, that might have been your epitaph. Instead, you will be remembered as the author of the first rant, or one even worse to come, as well as the bumbling and greedy president who allowed himself to be manipulated by imbecilic advisers and shrewd but barbaric Benjamin Netanyahu who’s rejoicing he finally has a weakling in his hands.
I’m not going to guess what you’re going to do. Let’s see how things turn out. We probably won’t have to wait long.
Sincerely,
George Thomas Clark
