On The Valley of Failure
To the Former President Donald Trump, Oh Mr. Trump, how far you have fallen. If each person’s worth was measured somewhere between the tallest mountain and the deepest crevice; you Mr. Trump, would certainly be plummeting into the unfathomable Mariana Trench.

A 13 Year Old's Political Perspective
In mere honesty, I don’t know much about Trump’s presidency. After all, I’m only a kid. That’s reasonable, right? But from a few sources, being the news, the internet, and my family's point of view, I think I’ve come up with a solid opinion about our 45th president. This, I think, is a very popular opinion, too.

Goodbye Donald Trump.
To: Mr. Donald Trump Subject: Thank you for your service. “Respected” sir, It is with immense pleasure and hope the world looks at your loss in the election. As the results of the election was announced there was a small glimmer of hope in every heart. A hope so small yet significant, after your wholesome contribution to your country, better yet, the world.

Dear POTUS Demotus. Second Place in Goodbye Donald Challenge.
Dear former POTUS, First off, I say this not with any personal animosity, more just as someone who watched a 4-year long television show with an antagonist that I hated with a passion. There's much I can critique about my view of your show: how there can be so much hot air in the head of one character, how you got such of possé of yes men that are willing to support your volatility despite the fact that you and the audience knew their characters are sure to get killed off through eventually, and how it has taken such an apocalyptic finale to bring any sort of reform to allow the protagonists to win. Am I saying I was rooting for democratics? Sure, that was no secret. But what I mean by protagonist is more the nation and its' sanctity. You have dragged a country through such a tumultuous plot line only to draw the moral of "serve only yourself". Was it worth it?

Dear Donald
Dear Donald, Thank you for revealing yourself as the dangerous alligator that inhibited the same swamp you promised to drain.

Dear Donald,
Dear Donald, Most people are never truly ready to confront their abuser, but at least this time I get to do so personally. You have single-handedly turned my friends, this country, and half the world upside down; but America will be great because of it. Please pay attention. Maybe find a friend to talk this over with. It is time you gainfully grasp why being called a Trump supporter is not a compliment.

Imminent peach
Dear Donald, Thank you for coming, thank you for going. It’s been four long years of what we could only call an extraordinary and devastating unravelling.

Nah, hatred doesn’t cut it Donny.
A letter of heated compassion to Donald Trump. *Trigger warning. Adult Language.* Humpty Trumpty, I know you are a victim yourself of the colonist sickness you parade yourself around spreading through your vile inaccurate addiction to the ever unattainable sham of power.

To our President
To our president, Donald J. Trump, I write you to say farewell. As our president I neither despised you nor loved you. As neither a democrat nor a republican, I feel I might be able to bring a perspective to this letter different than most. Maybe you won’t like what I have to say, maybe you will, I don’t know, but I need to say it.

Thank you, Mr. Trump!
Dear, Mr. Trump, These past few years, I'm sure, have been some of your best, at least in your opinion. However, for me, and millions like me, it has been a scary near half decade. At the start of your presidency, we heard stories and allegations about you and how you treated others, namely women. As a woman, this was obviously something that bothered me. However, I figured the country is made up of mostly women so surely, and because you want to make a good impression, we will be safe. As time went on, things got even worse. It wasn't just women that were being disrespected and made fun of because the president had done the same, but then immigrants became a target, resulting in multiple unnecessary deaths and dehumanizing separations. At the same time, the black community suffered far too many hits. I felt like we had been transported to the Civil Rights era of the 60's. We marched and protested, and instead of being heard, there were more killings of my people, and to top it off, you called Black Lives Matter Protesters, “thugs.” As a black woman who comes from immigrants and native indigenous peoples, your time in the white house has shown me the true definition of a dystopian society, growing and forming from the ground up, like a slow build of in an apocalyptic movie.

The Most Influential President - Donald Trump
To Donald Trump So I want to start by saying that I don’t think that anyone could possibly say that the many things Trump has accomplished during his time as president were anything less than miraculous.

Despise You Forever
Donald Trump watches as barricades are placed upon every surrounding structure wishing he could tweet "election fraud, election fraud, election fraud." And while he wishes, we proclaim:
