Dear President Trump, Of all the wrong ideas you hold in your heart"that tariffs are paid by foreigners, that good looks are the chief credential for cabinet offices, that the 2020 election was rigged, that allies are bloodsuckers we'd be better off without"perhaps the most gobsmacking is your cherished notion that people respect you when they kiss your ass.
[C]ontempt arises from the knowledge"recognized by the whole world, Mr. Trump, except you"that your extravagant need for attention and praise is evidence of your emotional stuntedness. With every renaming of a building you are sending up a signal that screams "I am so insecure!" And here's the truth: You cannot piggyback on the respect John F. Kennedy earned by slapping your name on the arts center that was named by statute to be his living memorial. Your name may be side by side with his on the marble for now, but in our hearts, we will never respect you. Quite the opposite"for all of your depredations and twice on Sunday for attempting to hijack someone else's honor.
It gets worse. It isn't just that your ravenous hunger for recognition betrays a personality disorder, it's that your particular style of seeking it really does provoke ridicule"that's another word for "they're laughing at us."
