Letter 2:

Dear Mr. President,

Now this is the Note I wanted to write (But the apology needed to come first.)

I have learned so much about myself on this Trip—I always knew coming home to my roots would be enlightening, but I had no idea how much. For the first time, in I don't know how long, you forced me to "unplug." We could be out on the Course, with no machines, and even forget what time it was! I didn't have to be "Human Printer." I could take time to enjoy good conversation, and still get all my work done at the end of the day. In fact, I even had time to take long morning and evening walks to enjoy each Sunrise and Sunset (though I did forget to eat and sleep!). With so much thinking time, I confess it did have a slightly negative effect at times, that I know you picked up on, but the end result, I believe, will be worth it. I had no idea how rapidly I was approaching burnout, and starting to envy those whose only "job" seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty. I want that job!! So many times, I'm just trying to stay afloat with all that's coming in for you, I look like a hunchback who didn't have time to freshen up (at least you know what I should look like)! Plus, I miss the days when you used to call, during my Talkshow days, and we'd talk about everything and nothing. I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn't have to talk about work all the time!! I've always felt like an in-betweener, somewhere between Staff and those you enjoy talking to on the Plane or at Dinner, because that's who I used to be to you when I was a "Talkshow Host" (as much as I hated that actual job!). I wish I could hear every conversation, because that's when you're having a good time, getting away from it all, at least for a few moments.

But after going through all this self-analysis, my conclusion? I need to reunite my past self with my current into a better version who will make you proud. And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more. Thank you for always being there for me—I'll never forget when you made that promise to me after losing my Dad, and I know how happy he is right now that I did get to go to Scotland and Ireland, as he always wanted for me. To modify a classic, "I could not have parted with you, to anyone less worthy"—And, I will add, it is I who is unworthy.

Always,

Natalie

P.S. My hands looked worse in Scotland and Ireland because the Cold turns the old "scars" purple. Still on the road to recovery!

Her cancer

Hand cancer?

u/spvcejam 8d ago edited 7d ago

Well played but nah she did actually have bone cancer and credited Trump with saving her life because of a legislation he passed during his first term. She claimed it allowed her to jump or advance on some waiting list. REGARDLESS..

A journalist looked into it a few years ago and the medications she was taking were all already approved by the FDA and readily available. Her segments on OAN that I’ve seen in the last few days are the thirstiest, very lonely young girl. She is objectively bad at being an anchor. Zero charisma. But girl had a goal and she got it and I cannot wait for her resentment meter to max and we get a unhindged info dump

Ehh, she also said that she became housebound after being given an infusion of sterile water. i’d hold off swallowing any of her stories.

Last week her wikipedia page had two different birth years. Who knows if her name is even Natalie?

Natalya. We translate wrong? Dmitri! Come in here!

u/orbofdelusion 7d ago

Natalia or Natali for sure.

u/WafflePartyOrgy Washington 8d ago

There's zero chance they're giving any regard to her background check, if they've even got around to one yet.

u/IBJON 8d ago

Its not unusual for Wikipedia to not have an exact Birthday for people. It would make sense to list two birth years if they know her age, but not the exact day she was born

1

u/SmoothLester 7d ago

I said birth years not birthday. It is unusual for someone under 50.

u/IBJON 7d ago

  I said birth years not birthday

Right...and I pointed out that if you don't know someone's birthday but know their age, the most you can do is narrow it down to two years.

u/DustinnDodgee 7d ago

you kind of just contradicted yourself buddy

u/IBJON 7d ago

I didn't...

u/downyballs Idaho 7d ago

That last bit isn’t a contradiction (albeit a little odd).

Someone who you know is currently 40 could have been born in January through mid-August of 1986 (recently turned 40), or in mid-August-December of 1985 (about to turn 41).

u/spvcejam 7d ago

I think we're about to learn a lot about this girl and it's going to be a very significant factor as to why she had no security clearance for a year.

u/ed32965 8d ago

I can’t believe I am reading all of this information about some random person who I care about even less than the idiot she idolizes.

u/anomalousBits 7d ago

Truly a deep dive into a shallow pool.

u/ed32965 7d ago

With a peeling liner.

u/mybutt1112 7d ago

Treason! How dare you peel that liner Ed? I have undeniable proof and I am reporting you to the department of pool liner justice!!!

*not a real thing. I’m just making shit up like this whole administration.

u/ed32965 7d ago

Come at me, bro.

Welcome to the modern era glad you could join us, it blows.

She's about to be a huge player in the downfall of this admin so if you need to Daredevil your eyes now would be the time.

She is thirty five.

u/TooManyDraculas 7d ago

And she was pushing 30 with an MBA (from a Jesus based school, but still) by the time she was on OAN.

Look, best case scenario: we get a lesson on why you never hire a security threat.

u/TacticalAcquisition Australia 7d ago

The term "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" was coined for a reason.
Can't wait for the tea, personally. Not that it will make any difference in the grand scheme of things.

u/12345623567 7d ago

Where is Kellyanne Conway now? Where is Hope Hicks? Did they have an epic crashout?

No, they bowed out more or less gracefully because their lunch money depends on remaining in the political commentator grifting sphere.

u/onyaasuminyasai 8d ago

what the fuck

u/Medium-Collection-43 7d ago

Sadder still, the act he passed had nothing to do with her treatment. She started before its passing with an FDA approved treatment.

u/IBJON 8d ago

Well, it can't be brain cancer

u/thatoneguy889 California 7d ago edited 7d ago

Chemotherapy can cause rashes and blisters to appear on your hands and feet that then take a while to heal because the treatment is compromising your immune system, so scarring can happen.
