Dear Mr. President:

Dear Mr. President:

You say you want a trial. In this regard, allow me please to ask you a few questions, which, for the sake of time, I will answer for you. Did you fire Mr. Bolton? That Mr. Bolton might disagree notwithstanding, I’m certain your answer will be yes. Next, did you have a right to fire Mr. Bolton? Yes, of course. He serves at the pleasure of the President. 

To keep this short, haven’t you also fired others in your service? And the answer is also, yes—you have probably fired more people in your administration than any other president in history (just one indicator among many of poor managerial and leadership skills, I am compelled to note); and these also, you had a right to fire because they served at your pleasure.

Did you give them a trial? Of course not—because, as has been said, they serve at your pleasure. They don't have that privilege.

Now, let me ask you this. Is the President of the United States allowed to be fired by the American people? You bet your boots he is! He serves at the pleasure of the American people; and he most certainly must always keep that fact in the forefront of his mind. It’s called RESPONSIBILITY! He, however, as President of the most wonderful,  prosperous,  powerful,  blessed country in the history of civilization, is allowed a trial—unlike those who work for him. 

The rules for that trial, however, are not within the realm of his authority. Those rules are determined by his employers, “We the People”! And they have been established since the birth of our great nation, beginning with Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution and interpreted by the Congress and verified by the Supreme Court since. You don’t “call the shots” on this one, sir. You don't have the authority. Our government is not a dictatorship yet. Those shots are determined by our Congress—the House of Representatives and the Senate; and your trial has begun. I am compelled to add: you had your opportunity to participate, and you refused. In fact, you have obstructed the process throughout. 

In my opinion, you deserve everything you get. You have been a very bad boy and deserve to ‘stand in the corner”. You’re old enough to know better. Really, in fact, you should have learned all this in school—if you did your homework that is.

Respectfully,

Ronald Miller

Opinion

Opinion—everybody has an opinion, facts notwithstanding. Well, I have mine too, and I think my opinion is factual. In fact, I’m sure of it.

Let me begin by saying, President Trump, if he hasn’t done anything else, has provided this country with a marvelous gift. We must only open our eyes and see it. Then, we must do something about it. He has shown us the depth and extent of our ignorance and lack of rational thinking. We elected him to office.

Again, the tired old outcry, “Wake up America”, wake the hell up! Open your eyes and your minds before it is too late. This is no light matter. Our nation and our democracy are in deep, serious trouble. Figuratively speaking, “the sky is beginning to fall” upon us, politically, economically, and ecologically. This is not a Republican or Democratic matter. This is a matter affecting all of us. Really! Believe it! Open your eyes before it is too late.

President Donald John Trump is one of, if not the most, inept, incompetent, and ignorant presidents in the history of our nation! Believe it! It’s a fact, easily seen by most anyone willing to stop, look, and think with an open mind.  

It’s not as if the position and responsibilities of President of our country is as simple as that of the Mayor of some town or city somewhere or a large business down the street. Our great nation is the largest most powerful and prosperous empire in the history of the world—the history of civilization, that we have been going downhill for the past forty years notwithstanding. Our great nation consists only of 5% of the world’s population. Yet we collectively possess 41.6% of the world’s total wealth and consume an estimated 25% of the world’s productivity (standard of living). If the entire world enjoyed the same level standard of living as we, there would not be enough to go around. Just think about that. In past years before today’s technology, instant communication, etc., we could get away with that. How long do you think this condition can continue to exist today? How long can our poor continue to be rich relative to our poorer neighbors? Think of China with a population of 1.3 billion as compared to our 330 million and their relative level of poverty.

But I digress. The position of President of the United States of America under our Constitution, the richest, most powerful nation in the history of civilization, is the most responsible position in existence and is not filable by just anybody. It is so responsible, every move he (or she) makes; every word he speaks must be measured, controlled, truthful, and responsible as to cause and effect. He must be capable to envisage any strategy through to the end, even before he begins. He must be educated, knowledgeable, wise, and emotionally stable—a leader. Donald Trump is not that person in any way, shape, or form. To the contrary, unfortunately, it is proven fact and obvious to anyone who will look with an open mind, that he is intellectually lazy, unsatisfactorily educated, and emotionally unstable. Just as bad, if not worse, his is a one-man show. He is not a leader. He lacks any semblance of leadership skills or integrity. In just three years, this nation has become increasingly divided. Almost, if not all, major positions within his areas of responsibility have turned over more than once and/or are temporary. This is neither leadership nor good management. Also, he is not trustworthy. He is tantamount to loose cannon. He does not serve this nation. He serves only himself. As President of the United States of America, he must go. 

Let us clear up one matter right from the start—the argument that I, like others, am mad because I don’t like Donald Trump; I lost my vote; my opinion is “sour grapes”; and I just want to get rid of him because I lost. Hogwash—pure Hogwash! I have lived through thirteen presidents—Franklin Delano Roosevelt thru Donald John Trump, and have not one time advocated impeachment for reasons of “sour grapes”— ever! Donald John Trump, as President of the United States of America, is a threat to our country, to our people, and to the whole world. I don’t give a damn about his sex life, his religion, his personality, or his looks—or, just now, his political party. What I do care about is his ability to lead our country through these perilous times; and, any way you choose to look at it, he doesn’t have it, evidenced by his performance over this past three years as well as his performance before he was elected (for those who want to get ahead of their preconceived opinions and look at his record—it’s all there, if they will only put forth their effort to look).

Again, this is not a Democrat or Republican issue, our country is in jeopardy. This is a crisis. Donald Trump must go and go now. I warned you in my last blog, August 15th, receiving no response. This is your life, your country and, as a citizen, your responsibility. It is also the life of your children and grandchildren for all generations to come.

Respectfully,
 
Ronald Miller
