Reply to McConnell's LTE of 7/17: Your letter is more a plea for Trump views than for Conservative views. How did you ever survive BT (Before Trump)? Your letter's attention to our nation's "misguided programs" involving transgender clinics, reassignment surgeries, & LGBTQ advocacy (to name a few) in countries like India, Guatemala, Sri Lanka, Serbia, and Nepal must have caused much consternation & countless sleepless nights all these years, yes? These "misguided programs" stated as part of USAID are much more complex and consequential than described in your letter. Surely you could list some ways these initiatives/programs have benefited both our country and global development.
Likewise, you've likely been suffering greatly since 2003 with the enactment of Bush's PEPFAR initiative, yes? May I suggest 2 things: First, read the July 17 opinion piece "We must rediscover American values" by Rick Rappaport. If that doesn't do it, consider applying for ambassadorship to one of the countries listed above.
