The TRUMP letter to Pelosi and a COLUMNIST’s parody of it
By Carol-Ann Rudy
I’m assuming–perhaps wrongly–that you’ve read his [Trump] infamous letter to Pelosi from yesterday (17); that’s what prompted me to write this parody*
*EDITOR: We have attached it in its entirety after the parody so you can compare. The words in capitals are taken from this Trump letter.

TO:
President Donald J. Trump
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear President Trump:
I write to express my strongest and most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being pursued by the REPUBLICAN, YOU, in the WHITE HOUSE. This impeachment represents an unprecedented CONSTITUTIONALLY SUPPORTED ACTION by Democrat Lawmakers, unequalled in nearly two and a half centuries of American legislative history.
The Articles of Impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee ARE RECOGNIZABLE under any standard of Constitutional theory, interpretation or jurisprudence, and THEY INCLUDE SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF the CRIMES, MISDEMEANORS, and OFFENSES with which you have been charged. YOU have cheapened the importance of the word Impeachment AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF OUR GOVERNMENT!
By proceeding with THE VALID IMPEACHMENT, the MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES is HONORING their oaths of office and their allegiance to the Constitution, and it is YOU who is declaring open war on American Democracy. YOU dare to ATTEMPT TO BLOCK the House of Representatives’ pursuit of the Founding Fathers’ intent, clearly outlined in the CONSTITUTION—yet YOUR spiteful actions display unfettered contempt for America’s founding and YOUR egregious conduct threatens to destroy that which our Founders pledged their very lives to build. Even worse then YOU offending the Founding Fathers, YOU are offending Americans of faith by continually claiming that YOU pray for the country when YOU know this statement is not true, because it is a negative. It is a terrible thing YOU are doing, but YOU will have to live with it, not the people of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
YOUR “Abuse of Power” and YOUR DEFENSE OF IT, is a completely disingenuous, meritless, and baseless invention of YOUR imagination. WE KNOW that YOU had a totally indefensible conversation with the President of Ukraine. YOU then had a second conversation which, BY YOUR OWN WORDS, has NOT BEEN misquoted, mischaracterized, NOR fraudulently misrepresented. Fortunately, there were NOTES, not a TRANSCRIPT, (notes which you made available) in which YOU CLAIM that the paragraph in question was perfect. In it, YOU said to President Zelensky: “I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.” YOU said do US a favor, not ME—DISREGARDING THE WORD “US” WHICH, WHEN SPEAKING AS PRESIDENT, REPRESENTS OUR COUNTRY, AND IT DOES REPRESENT YOUR CAMPAIGN though you claim otherwise. YOU then mentioned the Attorney General of the United States. Every time YOU talk with a foreign leader, YOU PUT YOUR OWN INTERESTS FIRST, NOT America’s interests first, just as YOU DID with President Zelensky.
…..and the letter goes on and on….you can refer to the six-page diatribe that originated with President Trump. [see attachment]
LASTLY: One hundred years from now, when people look back at this affair, WE THE PEOPLE and THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES NEED to UNDERSTAND and LEARN from the Impeachment, so that NO PRESIDENT will ever put him or herself in this situation again.
Sincerely yours,
CAROL-ANN RUDY
