Dear President Trump,  

I was recently thinking about the qualities that could make you a better president if you could put them into practice more. I will list five characteristics/words below, along with their definitions, so that you will know what I mean.   

Kindness: (noun) the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.  You could be kind to Mexican immigrants by not building a wall to keep them out.

Welcome: (verb) to greet (someone arriving) in a glad, polite, or friendly way.  You could welcome Muslims into America. Not all Muslims are terrorists--that’s an extreme generalization.

Presidential: (adj.) having or bearing a demeanor befitting a president. You could act more presidential by getting off twitter and not yelling at reporters. 

Self-control: (noun) the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one's behavior, especially in difficult situations.  You could use some self-control when others say mean things about you. The Bible tells that if someone slaps us in the face, we should turn the other cheek, instead of lashing back at them.

Accepting: (adj.) amenable; open.  You should be more accepting towards people who are different than you are, whether that be in the way they look, the way they talk, or the way they act.

I think if you tried to do these things, it would make you a better president.

Thank you,

F.
