WARREN D. GRANT: Stop tweeting and start leading

Page Two is incensed at our president. As one who voted for Trump, I wish I could communicate with him. I would tell him to stop acting like a 10-year-old throwing a temper tantrum. Start acting like a leader and stop tweeting. Start acting like the president of one of the greatest countries on this planet.

I only voted for you because of who was running against you. I’m not sure what I would have done if someone else had been nominated for the Democratic Party. You are doing more than anyone to give the White House to the Democrats in four years.

Wake up! This country is in a lot of trouble, regardless of whether anyone wants to admit it. The very people who want to kill and subdue us, have more privileges than our veterans, many of whom died so that you could rant. Start leading! Do you think that because you are rich that everything you do should be overlooked? That’s what the last president evidently thought, even if you don’t want to admit it, he gave you the White House.

The attacks that are going on in Germany, England, and other countries will be escalated to this country in a very short time. Why do we have to relearn everything ourselves?

Why can’t we learn from others? If you don’t believe in a higher power, that’s your privilege, but I do. Israel was God’s chosen people, but when they turned their back on him, He brought wrath on them in many ways. Read the book of Exodus. After God set them free they were not free. Wandering around for 40 years, whining because they thought being a slave was better than where they were.

If they hadn’t turned their backs on God, they wouldn’t have been fleeing Egypt, because they wouldn’t have been there! Read about the Passover and why lamb’s blood was put over the door mantel.

Mr. President, we the people who made and built this country into what it is today, are not happy. We who worked all our lives for a better place to live, still believe that this is it.

We’ve been robbed all our lives by a crooked government, by taxing us and then wasting our — our — money, Mr. President, so that Congress could balance their ill-founded budget and then adding insult to injury, complain that SSI will run out soon.

It’s our money and was not supposed to be wasted on some damn game that’s played in Washington by giving special privileges to people who are already rich but continue to line politician’s pockets.

Congress does not have nor has it had, in the last 100 years, any respect for the people in this country. Breaking laws giving themselves special privileges, paying themselves excessively, and taking raises while we suffer. No, Mr. President, we’re not happy. We will not follow you blindly like a bunch of lemmings. So, stop playing games, stay off Twitter, keep your mouth shut and be a role model like the queen of England.

God help us when the millennials start trying to govern, given their actions over the past few months.

Unfortunately, Page Two knows all too well that President Trump nor any other politician in Washington will ever see this letter, nor care if they did.
