Isn't all of the letter a joke?

It being a joke does not justify POTUS lying to US citizens :P
It's good to keep things in perspective. After all, there are 16,384 misunderstood comments each minute on this very website.
I misunderstood this comment initially, thinking that there can't be so many comments on HN. But then I realised each comment can be misunderstood more than once. Seems plausible. Pleased to have done my part.
And that number immediately triggers my "Nice neat power of 2 answer? Seems unlikely..." suspicions. :-)
If your comment is sarcasm, does my comment affect your calculations?

I like your comment! Though, I dislike sarcasm, which your post seems to be.
I like your comment! Though, we may be in a liar and/or barber paradox.

Artists tell the truth using a lie. I dislike lying and yet love art.

I am reminded of what my Grandma used to always say.

"A lie spoken is easy to see. Repeating a lie colors it candidly. " -- Granny

So, I try to keep things in perspective, especially in comments on this website, so I don't get misunderstood.
