And then, as usual with politics, they'll be reminded that what goes around, comes around.
Because you have the beach, and people can't have nice things because of beach crowding.
Are you implying he had any mind left when he was sent to the "I hope they'll beat some sense into the boy" military school?
I think my issue is the combination of font styles - especially with a narrow font such as NYT - it makes the letter look "cluttered" and less professional. I'm kind of used to seeing underlining used for things like "your account is past due" or "registration for classes closes on March 15th", urgent stuff like that, and bold just makes it look like a politer version OF ALL CAPS.I have recreated the letter, here is what it could look like if formatted with more love and care in the same font, namely Times New Roman:
As you can already see above same font, but the letter alreay has tons more of character.
And here is what it could look like using a different font, namely Bookman Old Style, giving it a more interesting look:
Both are for sure not yet perfect (and please excuse the typos), but aside that still much better looking than what Trump's intern has produced. The differences are manyfold, but I guess visible enough.

As a work of design, it’s hard to complain about Times New Roman. It was created for a newspaper, so it’s a bit narrower than most text fonts—especially the bold style. (Newspapers prefer narrow fonts because they fit more text per line.) The italic is mediocre. But those aren’t fatal flaws. Times New Roman is a workhorse font that’s been successful for a reason.
Yet it’s an open question whether its longevity is attributable to its quality or merely to its ubiquity. Helvetica still inspires enough affection to have been the subject of a 2007 documentary feature. Times New Roman, meanwhile, has not attracted similar acts of homage.
Why not? Fame has a dark side. When Times New Roman appears in a book, document, or advertisement, it connotes apathy. It says, “I submitted to the font of least resistance.” Times New Roman is not a font choice so much as the absence of a font choice, like the blackness of deep space is not a color. To look at Times New Roman is to gaze into the void.
If you have a choice about using Times New Roman, please stop. Use something else.
This is what I gotWe got a letter signed by the president! We feel much better now. We're thinking of getting a frame from the dollar store.
"My cat made a big ol' Trump in his litter box this morning."
Collecting ballots from people, who for whatever reason, can't deliver them themselves or mail them in (local laws vary). In theory, the person helping has to deliver them to the appropriate location (county elections office or post office). In practice it is banned in 49 states because the harvester can dispose of ballots they don't like.
Ah fonts. A few years ago I was at DrupalCon and someone was giving a design talk. He started in on the minutae and politics of different fonts. Being a printer's devil as a kid I was in my element. The rest of the audience looked to have a 'kill us now' vibeI have recreated the letter, here is what it could look like if formatted with more love and care in the same font, namely Times New Roman:

Also pointless. Well, the whole letter is pointless, but signatures are an anachronism. Especially as that thing was most likely signed with an autopen [or somone just dropped a pdf where it needed to go].
He also said the truth when he promised to lead the nation like his businesses...
If war had a sane present, perhaps. But we don't. And this lunatic without be given any more power.
Undoubtedly he thinks it would only apply to Obama and not himself. Precedent has too many syllables.
