Hello 'Pussy' it's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Pippi Longstocking:
Maybe we should all take a moment to feel a little sorry for you, who reacted to criticism on Thursday by tweeting a stream of coarse insults at the television journalist Mika Brzezinski.
After all, you so clearly lack the toughness of George Washington, who once privately observed that his critics’ “arrows … never can reach the most vulnerable part of me.” You lack the confidence of Dwight Eisenhower, who said,
when asked if he thought his press coverage was fair, “Well, when you
come down to it, I don’t see what a reporter could do much to a
president, do you?”
Betty MacDonald fan club fans,
Betty MacDonald fan club event voting will be very exciting.
Tell us your favourite city please for future International Betty MacDonald fan club events.
My favourite is Seattle.
If you ask me jealousy is sort of a very serious illness.
These people destroy themselves with their strange behaviour.
I'll contribute a Betty MacDonald letter to Betty MacDonald fan club letter collection.
I own a very important letter of Betty MacDonald.
I wished there was a relative in my family who met Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen.
However I'll share a very interesting Betty MacDonald letter which was inside a book I bought.
You'll be able to find my Betty MacDonald fan club contribution in Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter July.
I love the Betty MacDonald fan club motto:
Sail away and find new treasures every day!
That's exactly what Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen, Alison Bard Burnett, Mr. and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Wolfgang Hampel did/does.
I had the very same feelings when I saw Betty MacDonald's letter inside the book.
As I adore the Betty MacDonald items by Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner Wolfgang Hampel I'm going to forward a copy of the letter for Betty MacDonald biography and Betty MacDonald fan club letter collection.
The subject of Betty MacDonald's letter is her family, friends and favourite authors.
I hope to hear from Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli very soon.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Jo

President Trump, Melting Under Criticism
Maybe we should all take a moment to feel a little sorry for Donald Trump, who reacted to criticism on Thursday by tweeting a stream of coarse insults at the television journalist Mika Brzezinski.
After all, he so clearly lacks the toughness of George Washington, who once privately observed that his critics’ “arrows … never can reach the most vulnerable part of me.” He lacks the confidence of Dwight Eisenhower, who said,
when asked if he thought his press coverage was fair, “Well, when you
come down to it, I don’t see what a reporter could do much to a
president, do you?”
And
— are we really about to write this sentence? — Mr. Trump lacks the
grace Richard Nixon showed, at least in public. At the height of
Watergate in late 1973, Mr. Nixon blurted
at a news conference, “I have never heard or seen such outrageous,
vicious, distorted reporting in 27 years of public life.” Yet he added,
“I am not blaming anybody for that. Perhaps what happened is that what
we did brought it about.”
Mr. Trump may be a more tender soul, or less resilient. In any case, he can’t seem to take the heat.
Probably
no one in the world draws as much scrutiny and criticism — even mockery
— as an American president, and each president understandably chafes.
But for Mr. Trump, every barb seems to hit home, and he vengefully
attacks his tormentors in full view of the world.
He does not appear to realize that he is embarrassing himself. This is what both Republicans and Democrats have been trying to tell
Mr. Trump since his tweeted attacks on the MSNBC co-hosts Joe
Scarborough and Ms. Brzezinski, which were capped by the claim that he
refused to spend New Year’s Eve at Mar-a-Lago with Ms. Brzezinski, who
was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
“People
may say things during a campaign, but it’s different when you become a
public servant,” Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, told The
Times. “I see it as embarrassing to our country.” Senator James
Lankford, Republican of Oklahoma, said Mr. Trump’s tweets “do not
provide a positive role model.”
Add
to the nastiness of the attack its creepy misogyny. Here again was Mr.
Trump, whose casual boasting of sexual assault nearly upended his
candidacy, denigrating women with references to “bleeding.” “This is not
okay,” Representative Lynn Jenkins, Republican of Kansas, said on Twitter. “As a female in politics I am often criticized for my looks. We should be working to empower women.”
Mr.
Trump’s advocates are trying, implausibly, to present his online
demonstrations of self-pity as feats of macho toughness. The spokeswoman
for Melania Trump (who has named anti-cyberbullying as a potential
advocacy project) said the tweets showed that “when her husband gets
attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder.” Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
the deputy White House press secretary, said Mr. Trump was “fighting
fire with fire.”
Mr. Trump’s behavior sabotaged
a day that included critical talks on the Senate health care bill, a
speech on energy policy and the arrival of South Korean President Moon
Jae-in for talks on the North Korean nuclear threat. Thursday ended with
Mr. Trump awkwardly awaiting Mr. Moon’s motorcade, as reporters shouted, “Mr. President, do you regret your tweets this morning?”
The
big question for all of us is whether with his foot-stamping and his
vulgarity Mr. Trump, in defiance of all his predecessors, is creating a
new model for future presidential behavior. Can the etiquette of
professional wrestling and reality television truly pass as acceptable
for the Oval Office? The breadth and depth of bipartisan repugnance for
this president’s insults suggests, thankfully, that the answer may prove
to be no.
