For Trump's Fans, foes, frenemies and Twitter followers.
Thank You, Donald
Dear Donald, I met you first when I saw your name on this big ugly slab of a building driving down the West Side Highway as a youth, and I hated you. Today, I disagree with nearly every value you've put forth and I openly present these opinions to most everyone I know. You made my Grandmother cry when you won the election. She's a really cool lady. You should read some of her work, she follows you—and you're much harder to keep up with.

Dear Donald, Don't Back Down To Your Enemies
Dear Mr. Trump, Despite all the negativity surrounding your presidency, I feel that you have been surprisingly smart in a few areas of significance. You stand up to Iran and North Korea and don't seem to care about the threats they send our way. As an American citizen, I feel a sense of pride when it comes to our army defending our country and making sure terrorists don't come into our country and kill innocent people. Based off of your words, the people will benefit in the long run. You have said that you will fend off any intruders in Iran who want to come to our country and suicide bomb themselves or put innocent people in danger. We are determined to defend ourselves in Syria and North Korea as you have said. We are able to use our amazing army and thwart any possible disasters that could come about in the nuclear weapon saga. As I write this, you are putting more and more pressure on Iran to not attack us because of our incredible nuclear weapons. If they start up, you will not back down. That is why I believe you have been doing a great job at keeping our enemies scared and afraid to attack. A big part of this safety process is for Iran and North Korea to dismantle their nuclear weapons. We are at war with evil. Evil has grown for the past eight years & more. You are the first man to not to sit by and let the hate continue. You said recently that North Korea will "face fire and fury like the world has never seen," if they keep threatening our nation. This is a very bold remark to say and re enforces the notion that we won't back down from this enemy of ours. In the video, you can see how direct and powerful your intentions are. I truly believe that without these type of bold messages, our enemies would be less afraid of us. We need a leader who is willing to stand up and say it like it is. While Obama was a great speaker, he was never a great quick to the point kind of guy. When was the last time you remember a president saying that he will wipe out another country if they attack us. You have the most powerful job in the world and everyone is going to try to put you down and say that you are no good. I am writing to you to say that you have to do what is best for the country and what is in the best interest for the people. Haters gonna hate. On a side note, in recent months, you have turned to China for help in containing North Korea and on June 20, you tweeted that "While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & china to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!" By the end of July, though, you were growing impatient with China: "...they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem," you tweeted. At least you gave it a try and went out of your way to seek help from China. If North Korea thinks that it would be smart to send a nuclear missile our way, they are really naive and unintelligent. According to retired Air Force general, Tom McInerney"If he gets our full nuclear retaliatory capability, within minutes after one round going into Seoul, there will be nothing left," McInerney told Fox's Liz Claman on "Countdown to the Closing Bell." He claims that we can take out the entire region in 15 minutes! Beware North Koreans. You're messing with the wrong country. Nuclear weapons are no joke and we have plenty of them to wipe out our enemies. So Sir, not backing down to your enemies will be a big step in gaining back the popularity of the people and it will be the best outcome for our country in the future.
David LasherPublished 7 years ago in The SwampAmerica at War
Have you noticed that all of the wars that America has been dragged into by our power hungry and heartless leaders seem to go on and on for decades? We never hear of any talks or negotiations or any desire to resolve the conflicts in the middle east and abroad. Afganistan, Iraq, Syria, Isreal, Palestine to name a few. Isreal and Palestine have been bombing each other for more than half a Millennium. We give them equipment to bomb the Palestinians and other countries give to Palestine to kill the Isrealis.
Donald MorrisPublished 7 years ago in The SwampDear Trump...
Dear Donald Trump, This is not a reality show. You might think it is but I'm telling you, it's not. You are not going to succeed at this debacle of a presidency. You will be brought down. All the jokes and lies need to end. What you might think is a funny joke, some believe is a horrible joke. America is really worried at the direction that you're taking us. You act in strange ways and say stupid things. You behave in a childish manner and don't seem to care about what the press has to say. I'll repeat it again. This is not a reality show, Sir.

Well, here we are. Well into the new millennium. Y2K didn't destroy us all and the second coming has been canceled due to invalidity. But if there is a good and evil it does not seem to discriminate on Party lines. But our incomprehensible Commander and Chief is so ridiculous, is such an awful person and compulsive liar. How is it that the most important job in our country is held by such a man AND we don't get to hold him accountable. All the PROVEN lies and the hate attacks to so many people. There should be a code of ethics and morality and decency that comes with that position. Donald J. Trump is making a mockery of this High Office and has no sympathy for his own people. The other countries are laughing at us because this buffoon was SELECTED into office (not elected). Americans spent a billion dollar on campaign contributions to two Clowns making a fool of themselves in front of the world. We are a laughing stock of the world for the RIDICULOUS display of politics that we have put on. I as an intelligent American am appalled by it and am ashamed for our country and the real heart of America, its people. The worst thing about it for me is that after all they money and the big disgusting circus we had to endure our vote didn't even count! Clinton won by over 3 million votes? What's the point of having an election if the "Electoral College" gets to choose who the President is??? I will bet there are some Americans who don't even know what the Electoral College is. Well here it is in a nutshell...
Donald MorrisPublished 7 years ago in The SwampTrump's Pride—Or Lack Thereof
When you start in a new job, sometimes it's a very good thing to establish your own norms and traditions. It's important to stick with the terms of reference for your job, but sometimes—especially when you're in a leadership position—it's really important to put yourself out there and establish your own presence in the body of those traditions.
Christina St-JeanPublished 7 years ago in The SwampFake President Trump
Fake President Trump, with his little hands, little brains and his small fragile ego, has been trying on the role of leader of the free world. It has been clear from the start that he has done more to damage our world standing as a nation. As this world’s only true superpower we have historically taken the lead on raising standards throughout the world despite our internal inconsistencies. There is nothing super about Fake President Trump’s sleight of hand.
Tomas AlejandroPublished 7 years ago in The SwampThe GOP Punched Itself in the Face
In one of my previous pieces, I put forward the idea that the healthcare bill championed by Mitch McConnell was a huge political miscalculation. Since then, the bill was put on the back burner for a lack of votes and the social media and actual media response has been brutal at a minimum.

What do Bret Stephens and Greta Van Susteren have in common? (a) Both are conservative journalists recently in the pay and orbit of conservative media; (b) both have history with MSNBC. There the similarities end, since one's just started at MSNBC, while the other just left. This latest TV minute, the square dance of talking heads has got people’s attention and sent fearful progressives rushing to social media to express their concerns.
Michael Eric RossPublished 7 years ago in The SwampDear Donald... If You're Going to Start a War, Let's Stay Off of Twitter
Dear Trump, I am not sure what you think being the president is, but it is not a game so it should not be treated as one. If you are going to treat it as one, then I will not refer to you as Mr. President, or any name for that matter. Your role as president is not the same as your role in The Apprentice, where you can just do and say whatever you feel. This is real life, and there are real consequences to every single thing that you say, and in your case everything that you tweet. With foreign countries respect of the United States lowering daily, the possibilities of war are rising. Whether it is the fact that these countries do not like Trump, or that he offends their countries, cultures, and religions, the name Donald Trump is not very popular in other places (hard to believe in the most sarcastic voice possible).
