A Letter To President Donald Trump
Donald Trump

On Friday, Jan. 20 of 2017, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. Congratulations, Trump. You went from being a joke to a man that holds one of the most powerful positions in the world. Please use it wisely. I never was and never will be a supporter of you. That being said, I’m happy you get to experience this opportunity. As a millennial who watches the news, I observed a thing or two about Obama over the past eight years. There are three things I hope you get out of the next four years before Kanye takes over. The first topic is your responsibilities as the president, the next is how hard it actually is to run a country, and third humanity. The eyes in that skull can only see black and white, now it’s time for the grey. Trump, I believe that you could be a good president, I am trying my best to be optimistic. It’s hard when you spew nothing but bigoted rubbish. If by some stroke of God you end up reading this, take something from it, please.

The first topic is the actual responsibilities as the Commander-in-Chief. Other tasks besides holding the codes to nukes. Responsibilities of defending all 27 amendments, not just the second one. The Constitution is a key part to the development of our nation. You shall not break the Constitution no matter how badly it sucks. Another responsibility is help pick up the pieces after a tragic event. You mustn’t blame anyone until there are facts to back it up, remember that. Don’t go saying that Muslims caused an attack when it turns out to be a Caucasian man from New York. Another job is to handle those situations with humility. The last thing, us, the people want to hear is a man yelling about the event, we are looking up to you for guidance. Don’t yell, speak like a normal human being. You’re loud, we understand. I appreciate that you are headstrong though. Don’t forget when you must speak for events you don’t support. Stop lying to yourself, you don’t stand behind LGBTQ communities. Especially, your vice president, who wants to bring back electroshock therapy. That's completely absurd! If an event pops up like the Orlando shooting again, you will have to go and speak, it’s your job. Don’t forget that. Don’t forget that you are the head voice of the public now.

The second topic is understanding that it is a pain in the ass to be a president. You will go in there as a young 70-year-old-man and come out in the year 2020 looking like a skeleton from the Mummy movies. I know looks are everything to you, but you signed up for this so take it. Also, remember that you will get judge on every single move your body makes. The so called “thick skin” won’t shield the words coming into that brain. They will try and break you, don’t open that mouth that holds no filter. That will only anger the millennials more. Don’t bite back because that’s just childish and one needs to grow up out of that habit. Can’t sit on the golden throne tweeting at three in the morning. Nope, your new job is to run the top country in the world. You should make rash decisions or else the whole world will, in fact, hate you. I wouldn’t recommend the Russia situation, best leave it. What do I know though, I’m only an 18-year-old liberal that was an avid Bernie supporter? This isn’t a cakewalk, this isn’t something you can throw to the side and wait for it to crumble. This is America and you’re now the leader.

Third and final topic, learning humanity. Donald, my dear leader, you are royally fucked in this department. First, you say you’ll build a wall between Mexico and America and make the Mexican people pay for it? You’re hilarious. How would you like them demanding that from us? Oh, wait, you could never because you’re a privileged white man who can grab women by the pussy. That my friend, is called a sex offense by the way. Being a president, you must know that there are actual people in this country. People with feelings and strong opinions. Maybe their suffering will come off on you as it did for Obama. That maybe the people you hate so much are just trying to live like everyone else. I hope you learn equality. That you are just as human as the man standing next to you and the woman halfway across the country and the child on the other side of the world. Realize that in the end, most humans have 206 bones, 12 organs, five vital organs, 10 toes and fingers, two ears, etc. You get the point. Remember that not everyone thinks like you do, can’t change their mind either. Especially on touchy topics like abortion and global warming. Also, please don't take away our rights to marry. The LGBTQ community has been working so hard to make this country a safe place, please, let us keep that. Also, don't let Pence bring back a torture device. It's 2016, powdered wigs are in our past, might as well put turning the gay off in people there as well. According to the CDC, 44,073 people were infected by the HIV virus. It's not going to go away because the government snaps their fingers. Again, welcome to Earth, reality sucks. As the president, you should learn how to properly communicate with the whole population of your country and others outside of it.

In conclusion, I spoke about the responsibilities you might face, the fact being president sucks, and that you should learn about humans. This is not a joke anymore, Mr. Trump. You are now the face of the U.S.A. Please treat is as if it were your child. Don’t encourage hate, don’t promote women as sex objects and don’t tell them that it’s okay to degrade someone because they are different. Wish you a wonderful four years in office, and I hope to not see your name again on the ballot in 2020.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
