Dear President Trump,
Today I want to talk to you about
books. They are the foundation of our society. They are a refuge for the lost.
They are a home for the homeless. They offer comfort to the grieved. Anyone who
disagrees probably hasn't found the right book yet.
President Trump, what is your
favorite book besides the Bible and The Art of the Deal? I read in an
interview that you mentioned those two, but the Bible I consider to be in a
class by itself, and I would also argue that listing your own book as your
favorite is not quite fair. So, what other books? What other books have made
you question your view of the world, or changed how you see it? What other
books have made you laugh so hard that you've woken someone up or had to run to
the bathroom immediately? What other books have inspired you and made you want
to change your own actions to imitate those of a fictional character or
historical figure?
You can gain so much insight into
someone's thoughts, values, and personality by learning what their favorite
books are. For instance, my favorite books are the Harry Potter series. From
them, I took away the ideas that it is never okay to be complicit in evil, even
if it seems to be prevalent, that true friendships can be some of the most
valuable things in the world, that judging people based on things they have no
control over is wrong, and that love will conquer hate.
So, President Trump, what is your
favorite book?
Sincerely,
K.
