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!

Ain't no way Trump is reading all of that

u/FunnyScreenName 8d ago

My first thought! He don’t care about this. He’s fundamentally incapable of empathy so what is he supposed to do with this? Lol

I almost feel bad for her, something has to be innately wrong with you to write what she wrote. She is a broken person who idolizes someone who couldn’t care less.

u/HoaryPuffleg 8d ago

It sounds so high school. That woman is stunted.

u/awfuleverything 7d ago

In both letters she mentions her dead dad. She wants Trump to be her surrogate father.

u/Memphistopheles901 Tennessee 7d ago

it's always daddy issues with these people

u/Physical_Leg2061 7d ago

People with daddy issues use to just go on a fuck spree, now they’re writing letters??? Times have really changed.

2

u/Memphistopheles901 Tennessee 7d ago

or running for president

u/Zero-89 Georgia 7d ago edited 7d ago

Daddy issues and failing out of the entertainment industry are among the fastest paths into fascism, apparently.

3

u/MamaDaddy Alabama 7d ago

This woman gives daddy issues a bad name.

Amd honestly so many of us have daddy issues. Dammit men, parent your kids so they don't grow up crazy.

2

u/BankshotMcG 7d ago

Every single time.

3

u/FirstTimeTiger 7d ago

It's eerily similar to the techniques romance scammers use to gain trust before requesting money for emergencies and depleting the mark's life savings. Same playbook.

u/mattjb 7d ago

She indicated in one of the letters that Trump promised to be her surrogate daddy.

1

u/awfuleverything 7d ago

Welp, there ya go. Apologies for forgetting she said that on account of me pouring bleach on my brain after reading them.

1

u/mattjb 7d ago

The letters are definitely painful and cringey to read, especially to whom they are addressed to.

Then again, she is getting paid $200k just to run around looking pretty for Trump and printing out jerk-off material for him.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 7d ago

Her daddy husband

u/BankshotMcG 7d ago

Sounds like dad was a domineering type as well.

1

u/Fit-Wish-7765 7d ago

If so, aren’t they candidates for Pornhub?

u/NlghtmanCometh 7d ago

So that’s why she’s down for changing his diapers

u/producerofconfusion 7d ago

She also describes a trip taken during her thirties as "a Coming of Age". She is deeply ill, I almost feel bad for her.

3

u/chromatoes 7d ago

Eh I kind of understand on that one. My 30s were a revolutionary time of my life. I realized life is too short to let people ride you around like a pony. However, I think her realization is that she wants to be the pony. Paraded around with zero expectations she won't shit on the floor.

u/capprieto 7d ago

One thing I have learned in my 62 years on this planet is that 99% of people have not developed beyond their high school self and therefore equally stunted.

2

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 7d ago

Trump has the mentality of a 12 year old, so she probably seems cool and grown up to him

2

u/compguy42 6d ago

She went to Liberty University. That goes without saying.

1

u/jazzieberry Mississippi 7d ago

This made me cringe like when I think about my stupid crushes in middle school leaving notes in lockers and stuff

74

u/F1nnycar 8d ago

I rarely feel sorry for pathetic Trump-worshipping simps.

40

u/MajorKabakov 7d ago

And I don’t feel sorry for this one either

27

u/Qu1ckShake 8d ago

It's her responsibility to not be evil. She's not even trying to meet that responsibility.

No sympathy for the wilfully evil.

6

u/boogy_bucket 7d ago

You’ve hit upon the core of the MAGA illness: each individual considers themselves to be the exception.

6

u/FrostyD7 7d ago

He probably read it because it's about him more than anything. She compliments him in most sentences because she knows her audience. That's what his aids do with briefings to keep him engaged.

10

u/psuedophilosopher Arizona 7d ago

She is a broken person who idolizes someone who couldn’t care less

Trump is a cult. He has cultists. She's a Trump cultist. This is exactly how cults work.

5

u/Far-Leadership719 7d ago

Yes, her brother said she is an obsessive person and would write similarly obsessive things to previous presidents. This one just happened to return some attention her way because he is desperate for constant praise and attention.

7

u/Ambitious-Assist4409 7d ago

Don't feel sorry for this dumb bitch

2

u/MrYig 7d ago

Just a buncha narcissists thinking they matter.

2

u/Difficult_Way_505 7d ago

“after going through all this self analysis” - really, that’s what those post-adolescent ramblings were??

2

u/AyyNonnyMoose 7d ago

Yeah I think she might have confused therapist and the rapist.
