Madame
President:
Your morning briefing..as a lover of
Portugal you will love an article about beaches there. General James Mattis is
a man whom I admire very much. Here is his biography:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Mattis
He began life in humble circumstances. He
did not graduate from the US Navy Academy or an elite college. Despite this he
went on to command the US Marine Corps and to be Secretary of Defense. He was
well known for having great interest in the welfare of the men and the women
who served under him. When he was Commandant of the US Marine Corps with
180,000 men and women reporting to him, Christmas was a special day. He would
go around on Christmas day and personally visit each man or woman in the
Washington, DC area required to work that day. He is a writer of several superb
books on military history.
Yesterday the general obliquely hinted that
Donald Trump was suffering from the onset of dementia and probably had the mind
of an 8-year old child. This further reinforces what I am hearing from those in
high-level positions in the US government that Vice-President Pence is going to
invoke the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution. This allows for the removal
of a president who is not mentally or physically capable of performing his
duties. Going into the election in 2020, we would have President Mike Pence.
Dear there is an old romantic song that
applies to your current circumstances in Sao Paulo-"Smoke Gets In Your
Eyes."
