Dear Man in Office
Dear Man-in-Office, Whether or not you know it, you are truly screwing this country over. You recently signed some executive orders in the hopes of stimulating our economy and helping those who are out of work or those having become very stretched thin by the pandemic by giving them money or a deferment to pay bills/taxes. Of course, this all hinges on your being re-elected (there is always a catch with you).

Dear Mr. Frumpy Pants
Dear Mr. Frump, I watched your response to the pandemic very closely. I watched you ignore the warnings that you were given, lied to the American people, tweeted incessantly about things that don't matter, exiled all of the experts in medicine (i.e., Dr. Fauci, the WHO, and the CDC), and fail to provide answers to the people at a time we need leadership the most.

Why I Voted for Drumpf and Now Demand Impeachment
“It was the spring of hope; it was the winter of despair”—Dickens, 1859. As I sit watching this joke of a “First Public Hearing In Impeachment Inquiry,” I can't help but recollect that this is “the greater [evil that I voted for], just to see the hell it bring[s]”—No Malice’s vicious 2017 single “So Woke.”

In response to all your emails, Don.
Dear Donald, I have been receiving your very personal campaign emails for several months now. I don’t know how you got my email address, I certainly never asked to be a part of this, and yet you constantly refer to me as a “loyal supporter,” a “true patriot,” and “with you from the beginning.” Recently your team sent me one asking if my email address is working since you haven’t heard back from me. So I wanted to assure you I’ve been receiving your emails and I’ve been paying attention. When I also began receiving emails from several members of your family with subject lines such as “My father is asking about you,” “Sign my father’s birthday card,” and “My father needs you,” I started to feel pretty special. I especially enjoyed the anecdote about when you and your son were chatting and you asked him how the signed photo sweepstakes was going. He had to tell you that I STILL hadn’t entered and according to him, you couldn’t believe it! Sorry I let you down. I felt pretty guilty again when I read an email in which you said you’d be checking the Presidential Donor List right before you went on stage later that night and you’d be disappointed not to see my name on it. I imagine how brave you were holding back the tears in front of the whole world after desperately searching the list for my name. I had no idea I meant so much to you, Don.

Dear Donald, Enough with the Lies.
Dear President Trump, As a young leader in my community, I know what it feels like to have people that look to you for guidance. Let me tell you, I know it can be a stressful thing. Any time someone is in a position to make decisions for a group, there are tons of external and internal pressures that can weigh on that person. I can only imagine the pressures of being the President of the United States, but thankfully I do not have that responsibility.

Can You Please Address The Racism?
Dear Mr. President, I am very concerned that as COVID-19 becomes more of a pandemic in this country, it will serve to fuel the already-present pandemic of racism that has swept our nation for years now. I fear the words you use when you refer to this virus as "the Chinese virus." Mr. President, viruses do not have an ethnicity. But people do. And your speech links this virus to people of Chinese descent (and really, all Asians worldwide). In fact, you normalize the fear of individuals who are as American as you or I by categorizing a virus as being "Chinese."

An Open Letter to Trump On The Environment . Top Story - March 2020.
President Trump, I fail to understand the reasoning behind your disregard for preserving the continued habitability of our planet. As a father, I would assume you are possessed of the basic paternal inclination to ensure the security of your own progeny. Yet, you disregard all subjects of environmental concern with a casual and disinterested contempt which can only be called lazy, arrogant, and entitled.

Get a Dog Donald
Dear Donald You may consider me impertinent to offer you advice, but as you have appointed your own daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as presidential advisors, it would seem that qualifications and experience, in your opinion, are not prerequisites for the task of advising a president. Ivanka’s official title is “Assistant to the President”. That is the highest staff title held by anyone in the White House. Even your Chief of Staff is an assistant to the president. Jared Kushner’s title is, “Special Adviser to the President”.

Dear Mr. President...
Dear Mr. President, Although I do not enjoy using this title for you, Donald, it is important to do so; after all, you did win the race for this job you sought after. As President of our country, you're role is to not only act as a chief executive of the federal government and Commander in Chief, but it is also to help great progression and change. To care. Over your reign as leader for the United States you've flaunted your wealth and power for the world to see. Can you not use use your influence to lead efforts to preserve the world around us?

Dear Mr. Trump, The Next Generation of Ocean Guardians Has Arrived
Dear Mr. Trump, You have proven during the tyrannical reign of your stolen presidency two things: your absolute and utter disregard for all living things and your complete psychological ineptitude, as a human being, and as a leader.
