Letter from the future

A letter from a fervent Trump supporter dated June, 2026

Dear ex-President Trump

I just wanted to thank you for having made America so great again. I no longer need a cable TV subscription since I can watch the Walking Dead on any street corner. Your gutting of health care means that most lower income people can’t afford any health insurance at all and the resulting casualties are staggering around before dropping from loathsome diseases, their iPhones lying at their feet.

In a clever stroke your enthusiasm for deregulating fossil fuels means that those who fail to drop from the aforesaid loathsome diseases are displaying teratogenic abnormalities from the toxic effects of pollution of our air, water and food. And your cuts to the research budgets mean that the flow of new drugs has stopped, leaving even the rich to suffer the deadly effects, thereby opening up new spaces in the 1%. Way to go Mr. Trump.

I have to go now to visit bankruptcy court, since my three children are all in need of critical care. Thanks for making America all that it can be for those who can afford to live in the zones with filtered air and water (only open to those making $100 million and above).

Sincerely,

A big fan
