Mr Crank,

I note that the Federal Government has started up a web site to promote prescription medicine sales, TrumpRX. Is this legal? To name the site after the President? Isn’t this sort of self-aggrandizement frowned upon, if not prohibited, in the various federal statutes? Or do these statutes not apply to the President of the United States?

For that matter, putting Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center? It’s a memorial. Don’t you have to be dead before that is allowed?

What are you doing to stop the corruption of our American Democracy, other than participating in it?

Mr Crank;

I have read the President’s letter to the Prime Minister of Norway and I think it is fair to say that these are the ramblings of a dementia patient. In case you haven’t seen it yet:

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

Please.

Mr Crank responded to my post of January 3.

January 9, 2026 Hello Jack, Thank you for contacting me regarding the United States’ military operations in and around Venezuela. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond. As you may know, on January 3rd, 2026, President Trump directed the Department of Justice, with support from the Department of War, to arrest and extradite dictator Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela to the United States. Maduro is being brought to justice to answer for the terrorism and drug crimes he has committed against the United States. Maduro was the illegitimate ruler of Venezuela whose leadership of the country was not recognized under both Republican and Democratic administrations. According to U.S. law enforcement, Maduro oversaw the Cartel del los Soles drug trafficking operation within the Venezuelan military. This Cartel is responsible for extreme levels of drug trafficking into the United States and supported the U.S. presence of the Tren de Aragua gang. The successful operation to arrest Maduro resulted in no loss of American lives, no loss of American equipment, and continues to fulfill President Trump’s promise to secure our borders and keep our communities safe. Congress has received classified briefings on Venezuela, which I have attended. Through my role on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to perform oversight and monitor the situation.Please know that I will keep your views in mind should any legislation related to this topic come to the House floor for a vote. Again, thank you for contacting me. If you would like more information, or to request help with a federal agency, please visit my website at crank.house.gov. There you can sign up for my newsletter or keep in touch with me through my social media.

Sincerely, Jeff Crank Member of Congress

He just seems to be repeating the Party line without justifying the actions constitutionally.

Mr Crank;

I am writing today regarding the recent Executive Order – “Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States”.

It was my understanding that the Congress determines what the “interests of the United States” are, and that the President (Chief Executive) executes on those determinations. It would appear someone is putting the cart before that horse.

Are you supporting the anti-constitutional “unitary executive” approach of the current Republican administration?

I await your response.

Mr. Crank:

Looks like we didn’t keep it. You might as well come home.

Mr. Crank;

From what I have been reading recently our President seems to be engaging in remarkably petty temper tantrums that threaten the very integrity of our democracy. His tariff actions against Brazil, alone, leads one to question his fitness to office. His tariff actions against the EU, Canada, and the rest of the world smack of pettiness beyond belief. Please talk to your colleagues on the Hill about taking back the power of the tariff and leaving it in Congress where it belongs.

I am also concerned about his recent threats to Rosie O’Donnell, a native-born American citizen, about taking away her citizenship. Are these the ramblings of a sane President? Can you identify a more anti-American sentiment? You should also discuss with your colleagues the possibility of invoking Amendment 25.

Jack Heneghan

Mr. Crank;

I have been reading some disturbing news items about our President and was wondering if Congress is looking into these possible issues.

One, he doesn’t know that he is supposed to “to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. Would this not count as perjury when taking the oath of office and thus be an impeachable offense per “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”?

Two, he wants to reopen Alcatraz? Is this the action of a sane person? Also, his ongoing flip-flopping on tariffs; who gets them and how much they will be, seems to indicate mental instability. Congress should investigate.

Three, this whole $Trump meme coin business smacks of bribery (see above) and emoluments. Is Congress reviewing this activity?

Jack Heneghan

Mr Crank;

I commend to you Cory Doctorow’s recent article on complex systems – https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/24/hermit-kingdom/…

He makes the point that complex systems, such as Social Security, Immigration, and indeed, the United States, cannot be completely error-free. Errors/fraud can be minimized, but not eliminated.

Please consider this as you provide oversight on the Republican Administration.

Mr Crank;

I read with great trepidation that DOGE and the hackers are being unleashed on the IRS systems. I don’t know what a mere Representative can do in the face of such an onslaught from the Republican Administration, but please find the fortitude to keep them away from sensitive personal data. I can not see any reasonable reason for these parties to be rampaging through IRS data, much less the delicately-balanced systems that maintain our tax/revenue collections.

Ditto for SSA.
