The fact that a letter like this made it out at all says a lot about the current situation. Zero fucking adults in the room.

What annoys me is that this was sent as a text. Publishing it on headed notepaper is hilarious but also misleading.

How is it misleading? If the words are the same, how is it misleading to write them like that? US public policy is done by tweets and telegram messages anyway

The medium is the message.

An official letter, on letterhead, is different than a text message.

Not really that different, if we're talking about a wannaby autocrat who governs by insane tweets from his golden shitter

So it would be even stranger for him to send this on headed notepaper

I mean, he would never do it anyway, writing a letter on an official paper is work, and work is not what he's known for. Did he send a message from a shitter to the guy he has that writes it on an official paper, or did he send it directly to the intended recepient? Fuck does this matter at this point, both actions has the same political power.

I'm having a go at the reporting. Any excuse can be used to label something "fake news". The standard of the truth needs to be high.
