To President Donald Trump: It seems like just yesterday you took the podium in front of the Capitol, taking the oath to be our country’s next president.

At the time, I was fearful of the potential you had to change the landscape of American politics and society, both through the precedents you would set and the precedents you would follow.

Since your inauguration over three years ago, my wildest fears have been affirmed each day. Every day.

Whether it’s through your words, actions, or dare-I-say tweets, I have been appalled by what you call leadership. Time and time again you have chosen to traverse the moral low road in your affairs, making erratic choices to confront our nation’s issues and ambushing all who question your decision-making along the way. Your administration has become trademarked by lies and deceit and after three years, attentive followers can’t trust the authenticity of anything you have to say.

I encourage anyone reading this, whether you agree or disagree with President Trump’s policies, to stop and think about what impression you want the man or woman at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to be leaving. If this is our new normal, I don’t want anything to do with normal.

If you don’t want your son, your friend, or above all yourself talking the way Donald Trump does about a woman, someone of a different race or nationality or someone who doesn’t share his beliefs, then maybe you should think twice about whether you want him running our nation.
