to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un?
Certainly, Alec Baldwin who is Trump's golem on SNL would be a top contender. Since many people in the news have already likened Trump's bloated melodramatic prose to the tearful, anguished lament of some jilted teenage girl, maybe Michelle Wolf would be another hilarious possibility, or the unbeatable Meryl Streep. Who else... the great James Earl Jones and his deep, booming voice, Johnny Depp?
Who would you pick to read this trash?
We greatly appreciate your time, patience, and effort with respect to our recent negotiations and discussions relative to a summit long sought by both parties, which was scheduled to take place on June 12 in Singapore. We were informed that the meeting was requested by North Korea. but that to us is totally irrelevant. I was very much looking forward to being there with you. Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate at this time, to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place. You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.
I felt a wonderful dialogue was building up between you and me. and ultimately, it is only that dialogue that matters, Some day, I look very much forward to meeting you. In the meantime, I want to thank you for the release of the hostages who are now home with their families. That was a beautiful gesture and was very much appreciated.
If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write. The world, and North Korea in particular. has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth. This missed opportunity is a truly sad moment in history.
Donald J. Trump
President of the United States of America

It sounds like it was written by a Nigerian scammer (although apparently the scammer is an American from Queens).

(6,385 posts)He's got some experience - here reading a letter from a sorority president to her "minions" several years ago. Asshat's letter isn't as "colorful" as this one but I'm sure he could give it some feeling.
Again, as a warning, the reading from the girl's original letter contains more than it's fair share of 4-letters words.

(6,385 posts)...this, combined with his work on Boardwalk Empire, was in their mind when he was cast in The Shape of Water. He was pretty whack in that for sure.

(5,914 posts)I thought about Shannon and the sorority letter, but Trump's letter sounds more like a scorned junior-high-school girl than a massively pissed-off college sorority chieftain.

Shatner did such a great job with those "beat poetry" - type readings of Quitter Palin's ramblings, he'd be perfect to mock the Pres. Pussygrabber.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)Who can sound most like a slightly demented junior-high-school girl who's just been scorned? Because that's what the letter reads like.
Amy Poehler could probably pull it off.

He could probably use the work. Haven't heard anything about him for years.

And yes, I consider Trump to often be an actor
