Not So Fake Now Is It?

Dear "President" Trump,

I know you have a short attention span so I'll make this as quick as I can.

Please step down immediately.  You were given the control of the greatest country on Earth.  Under your control the reputation of your office and our country have reached historical lows.

You bragged during the campaign that our country would be so sick of WINNING under your leadership.  You were wrong.  Now you need to admit it.

The recent racial violence over this weekend is your fault.  You continue to spew real world problems as "Fake News".  The undereducated and morally defunct people that support you don't know any better.

All educated people know that the foundations of the kkk (small letters intended) and the neo-nazis are wrong.  All people are created equal.  Our entire country was built on that premise.  It took too long and too many people to die for that truth to be believed.

Then you come telling people news is fake and people shouldn't believe them.  They start believing things that aren't true.  I'm sorry, but your whole "Fake News" mantra just fuels the ignorant.  Then we have racists quoting you about taking the country back.  They are worshipping your words and ideas without direction.

Your whole administration seems dead set on undoing everything President Obama created.  Your dislike of Obama, for whatever reason, is unjust.  Your actions are fueling the haters.

If you contend to remain in office please start acting presidential.  Every citizen deserves to have a President they can respect.  I did not vote for every winning President, but I did respect the office.  Until now.

You have the position to change the world.  Start acting like it.

You Can't Spell Trump Without Rump

As the presidential election marathon begins one must marvel at the current front runner, Donald Trump.  The thought of him as the leader of the GOP pack has been rattling around my head.

HOW?

WHY?

HUH?

I think I have figured out an answer.  Trump is doing a very American thing, saying what ever the hell  he wants.  In our ever so politically correct world, Trump has removed all filters.  Assuming he had  some to begin with.

Do not get me wrong.  I  do not,  I repeat, I DO NOT support Trump.

I do support how he is speaking for himself.  Being a  billionaire means nobody owns Trump.  Until his net worth begins to slide he will continue to speak freely.

I think America is yearning for honesty and straight talk.  Even if it is coming from a nut job like Trump.

As of this post, there are 17 GOP candidates for president.  That's a lot of division.  Here's a graph  showing the breakdown.

A former almost front runner was Dr. Ben Carson.  He seems like  he'll speak freely at times too.   He has a good safety net to catch him, a medical career, so he'll be Ok if he fails.

The rest of the pack don't really stray to far away from the GOP teat because they are owned by the pack.  

Those  who run the shows know how to sell their products.  But, after you filter away all the slag you're left with 16 very similar candidates.  

Eventually, their will only be a few left for people to choose from.  History tells us it will be the ones that don't go out too far out on the limb.

Voters want straight talk.  Not canned speeches.  Let's take away something positive from Trump's campaign.  

All presidential candidates, please tell us what YOU think.  What do YOU plan on doing as President of these United States.  People are begging for honesty.  They'll take it from anyone, even, GULP, Donald Trump.
