Dear
Congressman,
Re: Be a
Hero
It must
be clear to everyone with a remaining rational thought in his or her head that
the man in the Oval Office should not be there. His latest schoolyard tweet
boasting of the size of his nuclear button in comparison to Kim Jong Un’s
confirms that the quality of his mind is more nearly that of a four-year old
brat than of a president of the United States. Not only does he bring the
matter of nuclear war to a level of puerile taunts, he makes our country look
foolish, untrustworthy and dangerous in the eyes of the world.
Also, no
matter how you may question its every detail, the new book about Trump’s White
House reveals an undignified scene of internecine squabbling, back-stabbing and
administrative chaos which clearly reflects the character of the chief
executive. Our country is in hands that can best be described as incompetent,
at worst frankly criminal. For all his boasts of strength, Trump is clearly
incapable of independent thought or resolve; he capitulates to the last person
who manages to catch his ear, veering wildly from one position to its polar
opposite in the space of no more than a few minutes. His personal greed, his petty vengefulness, his willful
ignorance, his rank authoritarianism and his bellicosity are by now
unquestionable: he reveals them unabashedly on a daily basis to the country and the world.
You,
Congressman, are in a position to be a hero. You can tell the truth. You can be
the first of your colleagues in the House of Representatives to stand up, speak out, and
say boldly what no others have the guts to say: the man should go.
How about
it, Congressman? Will you be a hero? Or will you continue to serve, not your
constituents, but a petty tyrant who serves no one but himself?
Respectfully,
Peter
Clothier, Ph.D.
