Hey, Gail King! [View all]

I hope you enjoyed your rocket ride. It was especially cute that you, Katy Perry and the other ladies had matching outfits! Very cool.

Did your stunt really empower women? You got the free ride at the behest of one of the richest men in the world. Gosh, you're special.

Meanwhile, on planet Earth,. people are being illegally detained and renditioned to foreign countries by the Trump administration. He is violating court orders but boy, did you have a fun brief ride.

The economy is on the brink of collapse because of Trump's stupid tariffs and his erratic behavior that lacks a coherent plan.

The markets have lost in excess of a trillion dollars. Peoples' retirement accounts have been decimated. Millions of Americans-- that would be your audience, dummy-- will be drastically hurt by the policies of this administration. Thankfully, you have your millions so you'll never experience the pains of a great many of you fellow citizens. Good for you.

Trump did not lower prices on day one as he "promised." (Anyone who ever believes a Trump promise is an idiot.) Eggs in the U.S. are still expensive (as if that's a serious metric; use gasoline as a common denominator). Other food prices are increasing and so is everything else since the economy is rooted in globalism.

You take a joy ride on a billionaire's rocket and we're the disrespectful ones?! Is your next stop Disneyworld?

By the way, the man who gave you the free ride into space is the same guy who stifled real journalism at The Washington Post. But you were still okay with accepting this boondoggle yet you consider yourself a "serious" journalist. Quite pathetic, actually.

Your place of elite privilege is duly noted.

Kindly go fuck off.
