‘Hello Mr. President. It’s Joe Biden’

Following is a telephone conversation that should occur between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Hello Mr. President. It’s Joe Biden. My dad used to call me Joey. What did your dad call you? If that’ll make you uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer. Speaking about a little history, I want to clear the air between the two of us. You probably don’t have the right impression of me. I want to correct that. I also want you to know that I know who you are and what you’re about. And things are going to change.

As you probably know, I ran for Senate and won when I was 29. Before that I was a councilman. You don’t get elected to those positions, especially at a very young age because you’re a nice guy. Being nice is important, but being knowledgeable, informative, and having an ability to get things done, goes a long way to getting your way. Part of the package is having a certain degree of toughness.

I’m a fighter for things I believe in. I was a running back in high school and knocked heads with plenty of people. I’m passionate about my beliefs and will go the extra mile for my positions.

Speaking of being passionate, one of my deepest loves is my country. I understand that people on the other side of the aisle, tend to have different points-of-view from me, but do share a love of the country. Based on that, I and they have found ways to reconcile our differences and support countless new laws.

In all my years in public service, I have never encountered anyone in a position of importance who has done what he or she could do to destroy the fabric of America.

Until I observed you. Mr. Trump, that’s about to change. I’ve given you plenty of rope and now I’m pulling it in.

Your diversion tactics are about to end. If they don’t I will respond in kind. You can pardon yourself and your relatives and sycophants but all that won’t protect you and them from the long arms of the law.

Your need to sue and be sued is legendary. We will satisfy that need. There will hardly be any event in your corrupt life that will not be made public. From your finances, to your relationship with foreign countries to your personal life. And the same will apply to your children, et al. You’ll learn the meaning of relentless. And how that could lead to many of you having a new address in a gated community with barbed wire fencing.

My daddy said to me “Joey, listen to Teddy Roosevelt: Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
