No, Tommy Lee Didn’t Write That Open Letter To Trump

Although it is really funny...

A viral letter supposedly written by rock star Tommy Lee doesn't seem to be authentic.

The open letter is aimed at President Trump, and it's extreme level of profanity is absolutely hilarious.

It opens: "Dear Fucking Lunatic…"

And contains some superb one-liners, such as this one: "Do you know how fucking insane you sound, you off-brand butt plug?"

Social media gold, no doubt – but that's actually where Tommy Lee found it, sharing someone else's post to his Facebook.

The original writer – Craig Alan Wilkins – was credited, but as Snopes points out even this is dubious, with huge elements of the text taken from a previous article.

The open letter borrows aspects of a piece published on the Daily Kos in December 2017 under the pseudonym Aldous J Pennyfarthing.
