Dear Mr. President
Written with love, concern, and a big dose of hopefulness.
I am not a fan of yours. More than that I dislike you. I will not list the reasons I dislike you because 1) I want you to finish reading the letter and 2) telling you why I don't like you is not the purpose of this letter.The purpose is to give you some unasked for advice.
I just saw part of your visit to the African-American History Museum on MSNBC. I think your interviewer for the segment I saw was Craig Melvin. He let you off a little easy, probably in hopes that he won't have to read his name in your tweets for the next 48 hours, but I digress.... He asked you a generic question about the meaning of the museum and your visit. You began talking about immigration, how we want good people in our country, how the museum is getting "tremendous" numbers, and that the museum is about 'Love'. The museum has nothing to do with immigration unless you consider people being hunted, chained, brought to these shores against their will & forced into slavery for hundreds of years as representative of immigration. This was an opportunity for you to talk about the horror of slavery & how we as a country are still recovering from it's evil. You could also have shone the light on the fact that slavery & forced marriages of children are still a fact of life in many parts of our world. I don't understand why when you don't know what else to say, you revert to numbers & the adjectives "tremendous" "huge" "fantastic" etc....... The number of visitors to the museum is certainly important, but you need to find a different vocabulary. As soon as people hear those words from you they just start laughing & tune you out.
Please stop speaking off the cuff especially in staged events like the museum visit this morning. Inevitably you end up stepping on the message you want to convey. Please hire a speech writer even for such brief comments. Commit to sticking to the script a few times & see how much better life can be when you are not continuously pi**ing people off.
Please banish Steve & Stephen. They are evil influences on you & our country. While you are at it, release Ms. Conway to seek another job. Find some people who say "no" to you. Your instincts and above named people are bad for you & our country. You have no experience governing. Please hire some people with experience who are willing to stand up to you. This will not suddenly turn you into my kind of President, but it will make the world a safer place.
Please make a visit to the Holocaust Museum and say the words "Jews" & "Holocaust" in the same sentence.
Please give the people of Palm Beach a weekend off & save the United States the $10 million it apparently costs every time you go there. Try Camp David.
Please hire a therapist to talk to. You are a complex man with an obvious need to always win, bully, exaggerate (and worse-lie) and be the center of attention. You seem to have a short attention span. You are impulsive. I think about these things when I go to sleep at night. I worry the world won't be here in the morning because of your impulsiveness.
Please get your news from your staff. Read their reports. Don't get half baked stories about Sweden from Fox News.
Give up the idea that your son in law can make peace in the middle east. Yes he seems quite bright & he is Jewish, but this is not the experience needed for this task.
It is obvious that I did not vote for you. However, you won. You are the President. Stop talking about Hillary Clinton. The race is over. I will point out that you won in part due to gerrymandered districts which gave you the necessary electoral votes.
Decide if your wife or your daughter is the First Lady. Your daughter seems like a lovely woman with a lot of sense and smarts, but she's not your wife.
Stop pretending you are not getting richer every day from influence peddling. We all know you are.
Your pessimism & bleak forecast are demoralizing. Please tap into some optimism you must have hidden somewhere.
Ah well, I could go on & on. I haven't even touched on the unqualified and destructive Cabinet appointees you have named. Possibly there will be a follow up post.
I don't like you or your policies, but I pray for your success. If you are successful, then our country will be successful. I wish the GOP had prayed for President Obama like I'm praying for you.
Sincerely, Pam
