Excrement Thoughts

Dear President Trump,

I'm once again writing to thank you for the humor you have provided to our family this week.  The enjoyment you provided was not in your twitter feed (which is a fertile ground for laughs) but was from the "shithole" comment controversy.  

I of course have no way of verifying if you actually made the comment questioning why America has to take immigrants from "shithole" countries.  But given your past history with colorful comments, aka "grab-em-by-the-pussy-gate", I find it hard to believe that you did not utter this phrase.  

This adjective, while completely beneath the dignity of your office and certainly not representative of the opinions of the people that I know, does however show your lack of understanding about the value of shit.    

Mr. President, we here in the Midwest come from rural backgrounds of cattle, horses, pigs and other animals and we know a thing or two about shit.  We have scooped shit into piles and holes, plowed shit into fields, waded through shit to deal with animals needing care, and bathed animals that needed shit removed.  Many of our ancestors burned shit as fuel when building this country and at times, shit provides fertilizer for the food you find on your table.

So Mr. President, we laughed about your comment which just showed your ignorance about the hard working people that have built this country.  Apparently only reality TV stars have no idea about the shit that makes this country great.  Here in the flyover states those of us from shithole countries or descendents of immigrants from shithole countries know that shit is pretty freaking awesome! 

Thanks for the laugh and the reminder about the value of the hard dirty work that we everyday citizens do to help make yours and all of our  lives possible.  We will continue to do our jobs with dignity and wish you would do the same.

Sincerely,
Midwest Moderate
