What do you think of this? I am personally bothered by this reply, as it is very non-specific and does not come out and definitively say

What do I think? I think you're a fool to expect a personal reply to an email, one of which is probably hundreds of thousands more that the White House receives...........Sheesh!

As for me, I'm pissed off that Melania never responded to my request for her favorite cookie recipe.........What do you think of that?

Why do you think what bothered me was the fact this was a boilerplate? What bothered me--let me make it clearer for you--was the lack of specificity in the email, promising a wall, not some nebulous reference to border security. With the volume of correspondence coming in, I would hardly expect a personal reply.

Cookie recipe. Hahaha. Hush! Hahaha.

It does make me shake my head sometimes when folks seem to want it all and want it NOW! Oh, lets completely ignore the fact that President Trump has kept more of his promises than any other President, been more personally involved, given up even his paycheck, but if it is something that no one else on this entire planet - quite literally - will even pretend to try and do, the wall, well that should have been built yesterday. And the fact the man hasn’t built it by now - oh lets tear our hair out! These pants wetters are tiresome.

This is a crisp and simple-tasting sugar cookie that begs for adornment. Their touch of sour cream suggests a recipe of Eastern European origin. Because this cookie dough is rolled so thin and is so soft, we found it easier to work with when rolled out between sheets of parchment paper, then frozen until firm before cutting out the shapes. You’ll need a 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter. Make Ahead: It’s best to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before cutting out the star shapes; the cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 1 week to 10 days.

Melania Trump's Star Cookies/ makes 4 dozen

Ingredients 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 cup confectioners' sugar 2 eggs yolks 1 egg white 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions Combine flour and baking soda. Set aside. Beat butter and sugar until blended. Add egg yolks, egg white and sour cream. Beat until smooth. Beat in flour mixture until dough just comes together. Form into two disks, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll out one disk on liberally floured wax paper with a floured rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch star cutter, cut out star shapes and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with second disk. Gather up scraps, form into a disk and refrigerate. Bake for 10 minutes per batch, until lightly golden. Slide cookies onto a cooling rack and cool.

Reroll chilled scraps, cut out additional stars and bake.
