I am writing today to express some central grievances against you as both the president of my country and as a fellow human being. As you were elected president of the United States of America, I assume you have an extraordinary ability to empathize with the people of your country, so I would like to provide some feedback, as a fellow American.
(I will bullet my comments for your ease, as I know you are more accustomed to communicating via 140 characters on twitter.)
- Health Care: Stop whining about what Obama broke and FIX IT. Please discontinue your verbal campaign of slandering every person who "ruined" some element of American society unless you have a viable (read: realistic) solution of your own.
- I have no choice but to keep my government job, because if I quit, I will not be able to afford health care. You are not protecting the health care system, you are outsourcing it to the wealthiest lobbying campaign.
- Your Cabinet: Really? Were you that bad at choosing in the first place, or did all of these people suddenly turn against you? Did you know what they were doing all along and overlook it, or were you so narcissistic that you thought nothing would ever break through your "lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous" shield? When everyone has annoyed you (and is then subsequently fired), who will be left to help you run this country?
- DACA: Once again, the American public hears you whining about the hordes of people running as fast as they can at the American border. I get it. Immigrants are a strain on the economy. That doesn't mean the people who were born here, under no fault of their own, shouldn't be allowed (and encouraged) to apply for immediate citizenship and start paying taxes. People who were BORN in America are FROM America. Shaming or deporting or penalizing them is UN-AMERICAN.
- Mother Russia: We get it. You were knees-deep on a bunch of rich Russians. Stop hedging about who you know and to whom you spoke in the oligarchy of Russia. Stop throwing your friends and confidantes under the bus, UNLESS you are willing to admit complicity. You know you always admired Vlad. That's because he's more manly and powerful than you are. You are not even in the same league, sir.
- And stop picking fights with childish idiots, like King Jung Un. (NO one wins.)
- America The Beautiful: You're fucking it up. The only possible positive outcome from your presidency is that Congress will start working TOGETHER to give individuals back their personal freedoms, a concept on which America was founded. The political shift is already happening, which is probably why you keep firing people who disagree with you: you're a little scared.
- You should be. The president of the United States does not have unlimited power, and I believe that our governmental checks and balances will see through your circus act. I'm excited to see a united congress. Something new, in my lifetime at least.
So, Mr. President, I have many other things to say, but time is short, and you aren't really worth any more of mine right now. Perhaps we shall correspond at a later time. (Weirdly, I feel like I just started talking like Jane Austen, but whatever.)
Have a lovely day in the White House. I'm free to chat any time.
