Dear Donald, We Will Stop You
"I wonder what would happen if Trump actually did become President. Is that fucked up to think about?" Yes, past Katie, it was fucked up to think about. You were so damn sure of Hillary's presidency that you didn't even think about the consequences of your thought. Obviously, your thought caused Trump to win the presidency. You failed the nation.

Nice, but Not Nice
In this day and age, it's easy to get published. Maybe you have to go through Amazon and self-publish, but you can do it and keep control of your intellectual property. But sometimes, you can be stubborn like me, and insist on trying to get traditionally published. I tried to do this with a collection of political essays I wrote before, during, and after the 2016 election. It was a long shot, and I knew it. There were essays in there that I would have been uncomfortable showing my bartender. But I forged ahead with the thought of, why not? Well, an editor at the publishing house I submitted to told me why not. I was too nice!

Dear Donald: Please Shut The F*&^ Up
Dear Donald, I'm a pansexual, nonbinary/transgender individual who rallies for legalized cannabis. So, to a point, that's basically a guarantee that you wouldn't have gotten my vote, unless I was already dead. I think you're the worst president to ever be elected.

Dear Donald... Something Smells Funky
Dear Donald, Something — I can't quite make out what it is, yet — smells funky. Obviously, you've noticed it, too. Maybe it's the continuous, yet overbearing, backlashing you constantly receive from every nook and cranny that can find a voice. Even if they don't actually complain, the mice still use ways of whispering. And, oh boy, do they whisper.

Puerto Rico: Storms, Stupidity and Trump
Tragedy is, and always will be, something which will always be exploited by opportunists. Recently, we have witnessed some of the worst examples of opportunistic exploitation by any single human being in recent memory.

Dear Trump
Dear Donald Trump It is ironic how often we talk about how we speak and why we talk. Mainly because we never really agree on an answer that everyone can live with. However, we all have a tendency to let the discussion die out because grandfather can never be convinced of anything regardless of the number of arguments and evidence. So we're talking and talking but never settle on anything. Therefore, it is not so strange to discuss the connection between words and action.

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
Dear Donald, Well, the last year has certainly been a bit of a roller coaster hasn't it. And what a crazy ride it's been.

Dear President
Dear President Trump, America, my sweet America, you can be as hard as a lion wanting to be heard and feared and honored, but you can be loving and caring like a little puppy who loves its owner. You can be sour like lemons by making money more valuable than a human being’s life, but you can also be sweet like candy caring for the homeless people and at least giving people money to afford things that they can’t. America, you can make people say, “God Bless America” because they are thankful to be here and have a second chance in life and to have a better future for their kids. Yet you can make people say, “Why did I come here?" After a hard life a person lived and had before coming to you because they have not yet been paid respect for how hard they have worked here. America, you can make people happy you can make people sad, you can also make life easy, you can make life hard. But never forget you will always be in my heart.

Dear Donald Trump
Dear Donald Trump, I have yet to call you President Trump. I won't. I did not vote for you and it has nothing to do with me being on welfare, or black, or Muslim, or gay, or a woman. It has A LOT to do with you wanting to build a wall with my tax money to keep out people I don't think should be kept from this country. It has A LOT to do with the fact you are more interested in repealing Obamacare to satisfy your hatred of the man than to benefit Americans. It has A LOT to do with the fact that you wanted to ban Muslims and Syrian refugees from coming into this country even legally or to visit family, just until you could "figure out" what the issue was. But despite my faith in my fellow Americans, you were voted in. At that point, I tried to just accept it. I wasn't one of those crying liberals, or protesting or anything like that, I just sat home and watched you on TV say the things that just made me cringe. I thought, "Well, maybe he just hasn't gotten it down yet." It has been nine months. There are no more excuses. If it took me nine months to learn my job at work, I would have been fired.

The Calm Before His Storm
President Tr*mp has been a source of entertainment since his name appeared next to politicians on the Republican ticket, at first in comical sort of way. He has since, however, become the source of a much more sinister emotion: fear. Often referred to by the masses as a "loose cannon," or even a "Twitter Tyrant," he has continuously given those he is said to "lead” reason to be uneasy. As of late, his biggest contribution to the nation's anxiety has been a series of comments involving the nation’s state of “peace” and its military — a combination that has the entire world wondering just what the former game show host has in store.

Is Trump Evil?
One thing trump is known for is being "evil." A lot of people would agree; rest in peace, Hillary Clinton supporters. The problem with last year's election was the hate. It was never "I love Trump" or "I love Hillary," it was always "I hate him/her." But the people would do the exact same thing if given a second chance. America is a big ethnic salad, and every old white guy was expected to vote for Trump. Well, I'm pretty sure that almost 50% of America is not old white men.

Dear Donald Trump: Don't Kick Puerto Rico While It's Down
Mr. Trump: I'm not an American, nor do I claim to be. I'm not someone who is hugely political, and many times, I'm not a big fan of the leadership of my own country, let alone someone else's.
