Aaron Sorkin’s Letter To His Daughter
After Donald Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States, Aaron Sorkin wrote a letter to his daughter Roxy, 15, and his wife Julia Sorkin, expressing his disdain. He led with: “Well the world changed late last night in a way I couldn’t protect us from. That’s a terrible feeling for a father. I won’t sugarcoat it—this is truly horrible.” He criticized the new administration and the “sexists, racists and buffoons” involved in his election. But he also vowed to fight and encouraged his daughter and wife to do the same: “We get involved. We do what we can to fight injustice anywhere we see it—whether it’s writing a check or rolling up our sleeves.”
