Just a letter to Mr. Trump (Who is not my President)
The proverbial exercise in futility...my open letter to MR. Trump who is not, and never will be my president.
Dear Mr. Trump
First, my use of Mr. instead of president is DELIBERATE (emphasis added). A few facts you seem incapable of accepting in your self-absorbed narcissistic mind.
1. You lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, do not have the mandate you claim is there. Furthermore, there is absolutely ZERO PROOF (emphasis added) that there were 3-5 million illegal votes cast for Hillary Rodham Clinton (the people’s choice for President) and your desperate and pathetic stubbornness in clinging to that alternative fact makes you, quite frankly, delusional and unsafe as an elected official in charge of our Nuclear Codes.
2. The election was not a "Free and Fair" election, but instead a stolen election. You and your team, in my opinion, worked hand in hand with Russia and Director Comey of the FBI to rig the election in your favor. Sadly, those in crucial positions of power in our government decided that a peaceful transition of power that would put a self-absorbed, sexist, narcissistic madman into the White House superseded one of the Constitutional Cornerstones of our Democracy, outweighed the need for a "Free and Fair" election. So now, we are stuck with a Hitler like impostor holding the most important office in the land...yes, I am speaking of you and about you Mr. Trump.
3. The majority of Americans and 49 percent of your own base want to see your tax returns...return’s you promised to make public once your (supposed) audit was done. America expects you to keep that promise. Furthermore, you knew when you ran that getting elected would put you in violation of the terms of your lease on your Washington DC Hotel, and it is my hope and desire that our government does the right thing and voids said lease…elections have consequences, and you knew about this one.
4. It is said, that elections have consequences...we are beginning to see the horrid consequences of a stolen presidential election, are seeing the consequences of having you in the oval office. Now in office, your own actions have serious consequential repercussions, both for our Nation and for the Republican Party in the midterm elections to be held in 2018...you would be wise to heed that last truth. You are supposed to be the President of ALL THE PEOPLE, yet in your first few days in office you are taking steps, making changes that the MAJORITY of Americans find more than objectionable, and such continued actions that ignore the will of the people will result in grave consequences for both you and the Republican Party in both the 2018 and 2020 election cycles. If you think I am wrong, would suggest you go watch the news video from this past Saturday's "Women's March"....that march was not a moment, but instead a dramatic start to a MOVEMENT to seize back from you what you have wrongfully stolen.
5. GROW UP....your election is far worse than just tainted, and your lies (Alternative Facts) will not change that. Furthermore, as much as your Press Secretary may wish otherwise, your inauguration was not the most attended, most watched EVER. Do you know how embarrassing it is for Americans to watch their supposed President and his staff WHINING on National Television about something that is so obvious? Seriously, GROW UP.
Next, I would like to discuss some of the roads you seem determined to travel down in establishing policy for our (already) great nation. It is my (very slim) hope that you will actually take into consideration the thoughts of all average Americans like myself that are going to be affected by your wrong sited positions and policies.
1. Immigration Reform...studies and polls show that most Americans do not want a wall on our Southern Border with Mexico. Instead, what we want is a fair immigration system that treats Americans, and those who wish to immigrate here fairly. Too often we accuse undocumented immigrants of stealing our jobs...I would suggest instead that Corporate America is the culprit. In the name of a CHEAP LABOR FORCE (emphasis added) they have routinely hired those who are not entitled to hold jobs in our country because they can be hired on the cheap. Instead of punishing those coming to America for a better way of life, why don't we punish those Americans and American Companies who routinely ignore the law by hiring undocumented workers to save a few bucks, or to increase their company's bottom line profits. Let's make E-Verify the law of the land, and put some serious teeth in the law that would severely punish renegade companies and individuals who break the laws, circumvent the laws in the name of Cheap Labor. There is NO JOB AMERICANS WILL NOT DO (emphasis added) if that job pays the worker a FAIR LIVING WAGE (emphasis added).
2. Global Warming is not some hoax/conspiracy hatched by the Chinese government to fool the world, it is real, and must be addressed. Your desire to fast track new pipelines, your desire to eliminate EPA rules and regulations which protect human health and the environment is simply unconscionable. America should be leading the fight to address Global Warming and Climate Change, and instead you and your administration seem content to sit in the back of the bus and do absolutely nothing but watch a world in crisis. Since I know you only care about yourself, and your precious properties, here is a clue that perhaps you will listen to…if Global Climate Change is ignored, if we do nothing to abate, even reduce it, it is only a matter of time before some of your properties in New York find themselves under water.
3. I am one of the Americans who has health care because of the passage of Obama Care. I will, more than likely, be one of the first to lose access to health care under your plan to repeal and replace Obama Care. I am free to go into a car showroom and browse at a Lamborghini, have the right to purchase one, but facts are facts, and never in my life can I afford to purchase such a car…that analogy is what you and the Republicans are proposing for Health Care…the policies will be made available to us, but if we cannot afford said policies, that’s on us? Curious Mr. Trump, how can lower middleclass and lower class families living on subsistence wages afford expensive policies, and if we are struggling to pay our basic bills, where do you suggest we find money to put into a Health Savings Account?
There are many more issues I am concerned about, but I realize I am writing a man with an extremely short attention span, writing to a man who cares little if at all about anyone not in his social/wealth class, so shall close this letter with one last thought.
Most Americans oppose your agenda for America, believe your cabinet picks have not drained the swamp, but instead filled it with monsters far worse than the ones that were already there. We will oppose you at every step of the way, and will make sure that both you and Republicans hear our voices come Mid-Term elections…choose your battles wisely sir, or you will find yourself being a lame duck office holder two years into your four year term as fake “Commander in Chief”. “We the People” by an overwhelming majority chose Hillary Rodham Clinton to be our President. With the help of a foreign nation state and the director of the FBI our “Free and Fair” votes were ignored, allowing you to steal the White House, and with it the Supreme Court…this very real fact is why you are an illegitimate office holder, why you will never be my President.
Respectfully,
Sherwood Martinelli
PS…knowing I, in your eyes, am but one of the millions of great unwashed in your eyes, shall not hold my breath for any kind of a reply, or attempt at serious dialogue.
