Dear Mr. President …

As the much awaited and much heralded Singapore Summit draws inexorably closer, like a mad rogue planet spiraling toward earth, Civic Duty has received an anonymous copy of the letter from North Korea Leader for Life Kim Jong Un, delivered in person last week by that nation’s espionage chief, Kim Yong Choi.

Significantly, Choi stopped in for a two-hour chat with President Trump while delivering the oversized letter, which one wag said looked like a missive from Publisher’s Clearing House. Choi has fashioned a North Korean cyber attack unit vaunted to be among the world’s best and also has shown himself to be a very creative executioner, having used a cannon to dispose of a North Korean general whose shelf life was up. It is not known if Choi was wearing a wire during his Oval Office meeting with Trump, although he remarked to one of his aides after leaving, “Got it all! Hot damn!”

Upon receiving the giant letter, President Trump remarked on its wonderfulness and greatness even though he hadn’t as yet read it.

At any rate, here is the magic letter: “Dear Mr. President of the United States, Donald J. Trump: I am so glad you are reading this big letter because I want to tell you some things that I have been thinking about of our new meeting coming soon now I really hope.

“We can have a good time in Singapore even though I have not been there yet and hope it is more fun than I had in China although I know you will never mention it wasn’t much fun.

“I think this meeting will be a good time because if we are nice you can really get that Nobel Peace prize that everyone in the world thinks you should get. I will help you by saying that we won’t do any more nuclear although we both will know that that could never be true, but you can say yes and maybe even take off those sanctions you gave us and even maybe give us some money which we always need.

“Speaking about money, Mr. President Trump, I would like to ask you a few favors for the Singapore Summit. First, could you maybe send an airplane – how about even that nice Air Force One – because we really don’t have a plane that could fly all the way to Singapore without probably crashing and ruining your Nobel Peace prize. Also, could you maybe book us into a nice hotel in Singapore, our expense account being empty at this time. If you can get us a hotel, we will be bringing 247 people. If not, it will just be Mr. Choi and yours truly.

“So, Mr. President, if all this can be happening, we will certainly meet nicely and say great things and maybe even do some of them and then we will go back to our countries where everyone will love us and I will even come to see you get that Big Prize if you can again send that very nice and beautiful Air Force One.

“Until we meet in Singapore and shake hands and maybe even hug like old friends, I am going to remain your very own Little Rocket Man.”
