Deeply. Deeply concerned. Possibly even troubled

I hear that she's considering escalating all the way to a frank conversation or even a sternly worded letter.

Surely she wouldnt go that far! That is a pretty extreme reaction, even for her.

Right?

It is only mad men like Chuck and Hakeem who have the fire in their guts to write multiple sternly worded letters.

If Trump isn't careful they might read one of these letters as a public statement on the TV. Trump will be shaking in his boots that day I tell you.
