Dear America,
I understand why you did it. You suspected something wasn't quite right with our political institution, and that something needed to be changed in Washington. You wanted a refreshing voice that spoke against corruption and promised to change the landscape there, someone you could trust in, someone who wouldn't take no for an answer. You thought you found him when the first billionaire who matched this description told you what he would do. Now you have divided the country even more by electing someone as far right as you can get. There isn't any difference between the person you elected and a far-right Republican. He will tell you that he was against the war in Iraq, but that was a lie, like a lot of the other things he said. He will tell you he's going to make America great again and change Washington, but he won't, just like every politician before him. You put your trust in the hands of a man who used the same political maneuvers that his predecessors had. He doesn't "tell it like it is", and he is painfully dishonest; he only seems honest because we are so stunned that anyone with a political agenda could say the things he has, such as "the election will be rigged", "Obama founded ISIS", and a great number of insulting comments about women and his opposition. But it's not an illusion. He really is so bigoted, misogynistic, full of himself, etc., that you mistook honesty for savagery. He got as far as he did because he was an entertainer, not someone experienced in foreign-policy, economics, education, basic manners like humbly accepting defeat, or any of the other things you need in order to be president. What happens when he tries to play his tricks on insidious foreign leaders, like Vladimir Putin? Did you ever stop to think of that, America?
