President
Elect Trump I have had a chance to see your acceptance speech since writing my
article for Odyssey with my initial reactions to you being elected. I’m not
going to shy away from them either since you have portrayed yourself in that
light on the campaign trail. Now you are President of the United States of
America. You say you want to represent us all. I give you credit there and
after hearing the more mellow side of you I am going to give you a chance. But,
I will be watching closely as I always have been. I will both praise and
criticize you according to my views, I’ll be honest. But, you must be honest
the Republican Party of this Millennium so far has been pretty hateful towards
a lot of people no matter what they have done in the past. And, true Democrats
may have gotten hard on political correctness. But, they were trying to bring
respect to people as new facts became known.
And, in
taking this office you must put aside your personal beliefs and do what is best
for the country as well as what is legal in accordance with the Constitution. When
you go to nominate a Supreme Court Justice try to nominate someone as neutral
as possible it will do well for the country. Remember that you are here to fix
the system and be for the middle class. They could use the tax cut and the more
they spend the more companies have to create jobs and make money. Also, I know
you have been opposed to raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Just my
opinion but if you raised it to that and tied it to inflation wages would
balance themselves out to where they should have been all along correcting the
free market that failed to act as well as making this country richer overall. And,
if you are serious about fixing the system you must close the tax loopholes.
You can’t
ban Muslims just because of their religion. It is against the 1st
Amendment of The Constitution that guarantees Freedom of Religion. Nor can you
persecute the press since there is Freedom of The Press. You will have critics
like me and you just have to do your best to win the over and take their criticism
constructively. As a writer, I have learned this over the years. I may be a
student still, but I have learned a lot already about how to fix many things in
this country though not all are popular in some circles. You also have to be
willing to thumb your nose at the NRA. They really are for gun manufacturers
and not for gun owners now.
If you must
build the wall, but immigration has been shown to have worked best when there
was a revolving door on the border. When people could come over and do what
they came to do and go back home to come back when paperwork was cleared. Also,
hire some more paperwork processors to help cut down on the number of
undocumented people in the country since most of the are just waiting for
paperwork that is caught in the system. Maybe more people doing the job would
make it go fast. Just a thought. You might also think of legalizing marijuana
to help states fund education better and shut down the black market on it.
Also, Putin
is using you and you need to show him you will smack him across the face
without hesitation. Otherwise he will keep trying to take advantage of you with
compliments. That I what I have for you for now. Those are my views and if you
want to discuss them I welcome it civilly. I want to help make this country as
great as possible as you have said you want to. I am giving you an opportunity here
to work with the people and talk to some of us. Prove your critics wrong and
show that the campaign trail was just bravado.
I will
leave you to your thoughts now. You and everyone else are welcome to leave questions
and comments below. Feel free to share with friends, family, and advisors. As
for me I have more writing and studying to do. *Tips his hat and walks out the
door. *
Great job!
