Dear Gran’pa D, aka Donald Trump,

I ask that you sit your grandchildren down on one of your golden couches in your secure tower and look into their eyes. See the trust they have in you, in the adults in their lives.

They trust us to keep them safe. Therefore, your exchanges with North Korea must be modified! There are beautiful children all over the globe with the hope that their lives will be safe. Any use of weaponry has a terrible effect on the environment, on the air and water used by these children, on our future. Even Trump Tower is not going to be a safe haven.

Leave the sandbox. The sandbox is for building roads and tunnels for little cars and dinosaurs, a place for imaginary play before going into the house for lunch and a nap.

P.S.: There’s so much more. Suffice to say, your general demeanor and language leave much to be desired — not exemplary for our grandchildren.
