Dear
President Trump,
I or my family
have been writing you letters every business day since you have been elected. During that time I have encouraged you to
reconsider your positions on the environment, refugees, education, health care,
libraries, and many other things. I have
encouraged you to think carefully before speaking, to seek wisdom from others, and
to be respectful to others. I do not
know if you have gotten any of those letters.
I do not know if you have read them.
I have tried to communicate in a respectful and civil manner.
In light of
your recent leaking of sensitive intelligence to Russia, however, I am now
writing you for a different reason. I am
writing to ask you to resign. You have
made it clear in the past week that you do not have the control and
professionalism to be President. Your
slip of the tongue did not compromise any military operation or, as far as I
know, any intelligence operatives – but it could have. Your poor judgment in this matter could just
as easily resulted in compromising unnecessarily the lives of soldiers and intelligence
operatives. Your unwillingness to admit
when you do not know something and your willingness to say whatever is on your
mind without thinking it through has become dangerous for the people of this
country.
This is not
a matter of my disagreeing with your policies.
It is a matter, sir, of not having the knowledge and skill necessary to
do the job. On one of your television
shows, and I suppose in real life as well, you have had to fire people who didn’t
have the competence to do the job well. Be honest with yourself, then do what is right
and resign. If you continue on your
present course, it is looking more and more likely that if you do not do so voluntarily,
you will be impeached and perhaps found guilty of breaking the law as well.
I urge you
to do the right thing, and step down before you hurt someone.
Regards,
Bill
