An OPEN LETTER to … President Donald J. Trump …

-

Mr. President:

You are about to become the only president in United States history to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives, and this time it appears the Senate might just convict you. If that happens, you lose your presidential benefits like the pension, the travel, and the Secret Service protection.

The House has fast-tracked the impeachment, and Sen. Mitch McConnell has freed his party’s membership to vote how they wish. That is why now is your time to change their minds and to get the last laugh.

How?

Advise the MAGA troops to stand down. Not shut up, mind up, like big tech has forced upon you, but to stand down and not carry through with “armed” protests as threatened Monday. Social media platforms may have banned you, but let’s not forget you still have the power to order a national TV audience to speak with your base and ask them to prove a “high road” point by being heard without violence.

Saving your own ass in the end could be the most presidential thing you’ve ever done, and it might just change a few minds in the United States Senate.

Sincerely,

#OnceWasTooMuch
