Open Letter to Mr. Trump

An open letter to Mr. Trump

Dear Mr. Trump:

You probably will never see this letter, but I have chosen to write it just to set the record straight, and hope your advisors will somehow get its message to you.

I’’m a free market capitalist and believe our country has disincentivised investing, by double taxation of dividends, taxing capital gains (a cynical way of turning off the venture capital spigot) and over burdening business with punishing regulations (2,300 pages of Dodd Frank and 26,000 pages to enforce it). However, there is a ray of hope -YOU.

But,  I wish you would please stop your knee-jerk tendency to lash out with uncontrolled venom (not always the most effective  use of your vocabulary) at those who slight you. There must be a more winning way of belittling them or changing the subject. I was wisely  advised  by my father to, “Never roll with a pig in the mud. You’ll get dirty and the pig will like it”

Please take the spotlight off yourself and put it on un-vetted emigrants (Trojan Horsemen), multiple illegal voter registration (you only live once), free speech repression (keep tabs on conservatives), negative growth economics (throwing tacks on the speedway), cronyism (the best qualified instead of the highest bidder), financial dealing with states using sharia law to subjugate women (you are known by the company you keep), extorting huge sums for little speeches (foreign countries, Wall Street firms etc.), getting the foundation to pay personal bills, trail of disastrous foreign policies (the middle east in flames etc.), sky rocketing cost of medical care (huge bills), inept conduct of the war on terror (costing hundreds of thousands lives), the nation’s suffering middle class (left behind and struggling), the overreach of the EPA (keeping thousands out of work), and the liberal activist Supreme Court. There are more open sores than a J&J Band Aid box can hold, and more scabs than can be picked in a year. Why not make these your center of focus.

Also, Please be extra careful with your negotiation of new foreign trade deals so that they won’t result in WW III. There is ample evidence (witness the Smoot Hawley Tarif Act in the thirties) that trade wars offer a one way ticket to disaster.  We can’t afford another.
And please do me a favor. Tell me why Goldman Sacks and so many  billionaires are lining up for Hillary? Is it possible they know she can be bought? I can think of no other explanation for trading capitalism for socialism (which has been proven to never work). They got theirs (wealth) and now we’ll get ours (serfdom). Perhaps you can offer some other reasonable explanation.

I advised my wife to ignore our  gush of  direct mail appeals. The volume  of such appeals has become insufferable, and our pocket isn’t deep enough to  give the support we’d like to offer. However, she wants you to be our next president so badly she couldn’t resist sending you something. As you can see, I have crossed out her initial offering of $25 which was in response to my suggestion of nothing, and replaced it with $200 because I see you as the last hope for our wonderful country- You get things done and you seem to understand what has made this the country we love.

I’m going to post this letter on my Rhein Watch Trend Tracker Blog,
