I have felt compelled to write President Trump occasionally to vent my frustration with his devastating policies, lack of ethics, and his overall arrogance. Though I have written rarely to former presidents before, as a citizen witnessing the erosion of trust in the office of this presidency, I feel it is important my voice is heard. Since the president has dismissed polls as fake news, I write to the White House so he cannot deny there is opposition and dissent with his administration.
His presidency has been described as ruling through chaos. It seems he has this down pat; attention deficit disorder (ADD) as a style of management is in vogue with his GOP constituency. One can see by his abysmal failure to govern he demonstrates he is way over his head. Even if you think his critics are being harsh and unfair, one just has to look to his behavior to know we are in deep trouble.
First of all, let's look at his countenance.When he is being serious, there is a mean, almost menacing look behind his eyes.Is this a Jedi mind trick or an insecure man's way of staring down his ego threats through the hypnotic use of glaring? Nixon had this same basilisk.If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then Trump's eyes reveal a man with no inner conscience. A recent illustration of this was the picture of our president with Comey (whom is considerably taller). It showed a puffed-up Trump physically overwhelmed by an indomitable presence. Behind Trump's eyes you could see his fear visually and knew this meant Comey would eventually be cut down to size. Even in pictures when Trump smiling or laughing, look at his eyes and see the fake celebrity photo-op glaze. It is like Melania's Slovenian Sphinx look, vacant and uncomfortable. About the happiest he has appeared is on his frequent golf trips. Hitting a ball may be the only thing he excels at.
Next look at his behavior and those of our world leaders when around him. Tepid handshakes, dour faces, and his shoving, indicates wealth does not equate to being a confident, warm, and polite statesman. Diplomacy is a skill honed only if you have innate strategic and social sentience abilities. His bully demeanor, pretension, and braggadocio style makes him a threat to those very countries we've counted as our allies. Every one, except his admin and Russian pals, are treated with intimidation versus cooperation. Most telling was the picture of Melania swatting his hand away while walking down an airport runway-what a good unconscious 'tell' demonstrating how effective his relational quotient really is.
Finally, look at his language. It is fraught with fear-based foreboding threatening annihilation if one rationally challenges his rhetoric. Direct combative challenges to the free press, the 1st amendment, the judicial system, and our intelligence community make him look like, Duterte, a ruthless ruler wanting to channel a fuhrer. Look at the carnage with only six months under his belt. People losing their careers because their allegiance to professional integrity, not the king. Instead of draining the swamp, Trump has created a blood bath further advancing his greed.
Unlike Barack Obama's administration who invited contact, one has to work to find how to contact the White House. This is why I write to the President and invite everyone to drop him a line. Maybe if he gets enough written communications regurgitating what his policies have done to this nation, he may listen. Or if he does not, he cannot deny he is opposed, seen as ethically and morally bankrupt, and historically will be known as the most corrupt president we have ever elected.
