I mailed a birthday card with a 1st class stamp at a Post Office on July 28 hoping for delivery on August 1. It arrived today August 15. It took 18 days to travel 3 miles. Last year’s birthday card arrived the day after I mailed it at the same Post Office. Vote early.

You do NOT treat reporters “respectfully.” You lie to them and personally insult some of them in full public view.
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so.
