To the editor:

Thank you, Canadian neighbors, for the chuckle the other day when your president was not as frugal as you expected; stopped for doughnuts on his way to a government meeting. The nerve, he chose doughnuts costing nearly three dollars each. That might be pricier than our local Kroger, but sweetening the deal.

Meanwhile out president thinks big. Say for example Mitch wanted to get Trump’s approval for a tin factory along the Kentucky shore of the Ohio river, owned by a Chinese citizen. How many meetings would take place to agree? How many would need to attend? Would wives attend, also? Are there Trump properties in Kentucky that could house the group? Are there suitable golf courses nearby? If all agreed, the deal might bring a smile to Mitch’s usual dour demeanor; though run off from making tin could produce toxins, affecting living things from Louisville to the Gulf. So Canadian neighbors, it would be worse and much more costly.

Signed, Save the Earth. Dump Trump, Ditch Mitch.
