Dear Donald Trump
Dear Mr. Trump, It is difficult to write to someone you don't really know, other than through the media. However, I have watched you in the White House over the past four years, and I have a few ideas about what you are about and who you are.

Thoughts on Trump's Rapidly Increasing Authoritarianism
Some will deny that Trump is not dangerous, but he has firmly established himself as willing to go after political opponents. There are hurdles in his way, but don't doubt for a moment that he wouldn't knock them down if he could.

Why this year's presidential election is unlike any other
What makes America unique? Is it our diversity? Is it the constitution? Is it economic opportunity? It is, and always will be the underlying belief that everyone, everywhere, deserves to be FREE from tyranny.

Seven Books about Trump
I often say to my students, when we talk about which is the most powerful, predominating medium in our political world, that you shouldn't count older media out. Trump made Twitter his medium, because he had a talent for the short, vehement missive, and it allowed him to communicate directly to his followers, without the intervention of the press (Hitler loved radio and its affordance of direct broadcasts from him for the same reason).

Explaining Trump
Many of my story ideas stem from real life social issues. Then, I have to figure out a good story to illustrate what I am trying to say. My next book, for instance, involves a serial killer on the loose. The story actually began, however, as an attempt to illustrate the mind of a sociopath. This is because I was getting tired of trying to explain Trump’s behavior to people online.

Mr. President, Sir:
I was introduced to the celebrity figure, Donald Trump by none other than my grandmother. My grandmother loved keeping up with Hollywood gossip, celebrity drama, and all the glitz and glam of the movie stars. Of course, in that mix was the high profile couple, Donald & Ivana Trump from New York. I liked to keep up with my grandmother, so I would listen as she gave me the low down on the "lifestyles of the rich and famous" even better than Robin Leach could have. If Mr. Leach was before your time, he was a television celebrity journalist/host who coined the term, "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" and spoke in a thick and highly pronounced British accent.

“I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world”
No, it isn’t me making this claim. But I’ll give you a few hints as to who did. First, you know of this person. You do. I’m certain. Second, you have strong opinions about this person. You may love or hate this person, but you do not feel indifferent towards him or her.

MAGA NATION
If you’re anything like me it’s hard to find your place on the political spectrum. Never really identifying or fitting in with either party. Maybe the world of politics never held your interest or attention. Maybe politics is the bane of your existence as it fuels a hate fire deep in Your soul whenever the topic is bought up.

Hey, Hey, Mr. Postman
Whatever we are becoming, I am entirely down. The progressive nature in me allows for it. Asks for it. Craves for it. I want all parts. I want all the smoke in monumental change. Except for this shit! Donald J. Trump is cutting back on U.S Postal Service funding as a blackmail-haha punny enough- for Democratic votes to be hopefully minimized and obsolete. Majority of voting is taking place through virtual mailing because of Corona. Now I afflict this because it directly affects my community and I. One of the bros just got put on to a very respectable job with the U.S Postal Service. A little hood bumpkin from Bedstuy Projects, statistically acclaimed to gang and gun violence, highly susceptible to teenage pregnancy, and an even higher probability of dropping out of high school; opportunity didn’t just come running if you get my gist. Now, my bro-NYC lingo- for good friend happened to defeat these odds that were pined against him. All thanks to his caring mother, his persistent girlfriend, and his own good old fashioned self ambition. Wanting something better for his time, he applies for a city job. That means commitment, loyalty, steadfast obedience, and structure to the state in which you were born, in hopes of a brighter, better future for yourself. Now, he took that risk, aced the test, and began working full time. Boasting and prideful that he had what most could not fathom, his shit together. Guwop was looking mighty healthy for the big bro especially being that he was the catalyst to all DIY, home quarantine-version, in-style at home, delivery things.

Dear Man in Office
Dear Man-in-Office, Whether or not you know it, you are truly screwing this country over. You recently signed some executive orders in the hopes of stimulating our economy and helping those who are out of work or those having become very stretched thin by the pandemic by giving them money or a deferment to pay bills/taxes. Of course, this all hinges on your being re-elected (there is always a catch with you).

Why Trump Needs To Lead His Country
The world is turning around at the moment. For months. And a lot of countries have been locked, or are still in lockdown, or are partially open. People still need to work from home, groceries are open but mouth or face masks are obligated in shops and groceries.

Part of Trump's Problem: Sizzle vs. Steak (Marketing)
Let's discuss the floundering Trump empire (Trumpire?), and why not start with this TikTok crap? I will attempt to demonstrate how one of Trump's problems is that he sucks at marketing.
