SUBJECT: Not My President
TO: Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo
RE: Your conversation tonight about Angela Ryes comment that Trump is not her president
Sirs:
There are millions of us who do not accept that Donald Trump is our president, nor do we ever refer to him by that title. Our refusal to do so is not based on political affiliation or party loyalty. It is based on the facts, as weve seen them unfold.
Trumps every statement, every act, every tweet, has been demonstrative of a man who is anti-American, and determined to do the bidding of Vladimir Putin to the detriment of his own country. He passed highly classified information to the Russians in a closed-door meeting in the Oval Office. He met with Putin in Helsinki, again behind closed doors, and has refused to divulge what was discussed. He has distanced us from our traditional allies at every opportunity, while praising our enemies. These are not the actions of an American president; they are the actions of a traitor.
If there is any doubt in anyones mind that Trump is doing things that are detrimental to our nation, one need only look at his cabinet appointees people who are destroying the government agencies they are meant to oversee. Our environment is under attack, our education system is under attack, and these attacks are being waged from within by Trumps own hand-picked appointees. Giving incompetent cronies free rein to overturn regulations that protect our water and air, or gut funding for our childrens education is not presidential its anti-American.
From the launch of his bid for the presidency to the present day, there has not been a single day that Donald Trump has not lied to the citizenry repeatedly, consistently, and relentlessly. That is not the mark of a man concerned with the truth or facts; it is an unmistakable sign of a man who is more than willing to deceive his countrymen for his own purposes.
There are too many anti-American actions on the part of Trump to be listed here. But they are brazen, they are blatant, and they are in-your-face obvious to all. From refusing to implement sanctions against Russia to publicly taking Putins word for it on the subject of Russias attacks on our elections over the facts compiled by our own intelligence community, Trump has made his position abundantly clear: He is Putins man, not Americas and that makes him a traitor.
From his divisive speeches to his overt racism, Trump continues to do Putins work for him. He has deliberately, and with malice aforethought, done everything in his power to pit Americans against each other. He has promoted violence, he has riled up his base with bigoted rhetoric, he has flaunted his disdain for the very foundations of our democracy: the FBI, the CIA, our judicial system, and a free and unfettered press. A president doesnt work to undermine the agencies and the people who protect our country but a traitor does.
As I write this, Donald Trump is at yet another rally insisting that Russias attack on our elections is a hoax perpetrated by some nefarious deep state bent on his personal destruction. Given all the evidence we have as to Russias attack on our democratic processes, only a traitor would side with those who have already done so, and are currently in the process of doing so again.
This is why there are millions of Americans who do not accept Donald Trump as our president. We refuse to acknowledge an obvious traitor, assisted in being elected by our countrys enemies, as the leader of the nation he is doing his best to destroy.
You can tsk-tsk all you want about how Trump is our duly-elected president and we should all recognize him as such. You can admonish the citizenry for not accepting Putins subservient bitch as our commander-in-chief. You can shake your fingers at the camera and scold those who refuse to call a traitor president.
But what you cant do is change the fact that Donald Trump IS a traitor, and those of us who are aware of that fact will never recognize a traitor as our president. What you cant do is convince truly patriotic Americans that we should all recognize a Russian-owned traitor as our nations leader, and afford him the respect of an office he has no right to hold.
I admire you both. I watch your shows on CNN religiously and applaud your efforts to bring the truth to the American people. But if you think the idea that hes not my president is an offhand remark that isnt reflective of the thinking of millions of Americans or somehow shouldnt be you are woefully unaware of whats going on across the country.

(11,885 posts)And being in a red state I've seen in the last two weeks dozens of bumper stickers showing that too, with illegitimate, to more offensive ones against his presidency and him. I think a lot more people know now he's working for PUTIN , not us, and is why he's so weak against putin and russia . He was illegally elected by putin and the gop illegal tricks. That'll do them in when they're exposed more, and from all the putin money they accepted . Those in Congress that took money funneled from putin should be shaking in the boots at this point, because they'll be exposed . We do have some illegitimate Congressional members too.
