Because you matter

Day 11 Mr. President *

So you fired someone. Maybe it had to be done. You do however need legal council and the senate does not seem to be willing to help you with any of that. It is time to be humble and negotiate because you made promises that need to be kept. Let me be clear. You can not do this alone. You might be a wonderful man, and still you need "us". You can't lead a country if there is not a country to lead. The tension is growing and it is not good. Reality check! Do something different.

Thanks,

Hey Mr. President Trump (day 27)

Please say it's not so! (day 34)

Mr. President,

I saw this headline today and really I just wanted to scream!

OBAMA RESTROOM REVERSAL

White House working on new transgender bathroom guidelines.

With all the problems we have in the world I can't imagine that where someone uses the restroom is a big deal. I just really don't get it. If the whole thing is that you are worried that your child may be exposed to something go in with your child and keep the child safe. If you have a problem with transgender people in general, ignore them and take care of business. Seriously, this is giving me a headache to even think that tax dollars and time are being spent on this "crap". (okay this turned into a rant ~ I may as well finish it like one.

" I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND."

Thanks,

Trenna

Dear Mr. President, (day 19)

I want to talk about me! I want to talk about the things that matter most to me. In the political arena I believe the wall comes after the tax reform. Seriously because they can still go under and over any wall, so that is not my top concern. Yes you made a promise and yes you have to keep it, but not right now.

On my personal level let’s talk dollars and cents. My power and gas bill, which has to be paid so I can work and have heat is $1234.87. So do I pay them and keep working or just plain give up? You see this is what “forgotten Americans” worry about everyday. How to feed the family, keep a roof overhead, pay the taxes and such. Just a reminder of what we are worrying about. Do these kind of things ever cross your mind?

President Trump, you need help! (day 32)

Dear President Trump,

Seriously, "YOU NEED HELP!" I can make this simple. Your off the cuff and explosive tweet

"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" and then you just kept going.

Had you called me and chatted you could have avoided all this drama. I offered my help and clearly you need it. Yup, you need a grandma, a regular old forgotten American, me, to help.

Silence speaks volumes and you let several bad tweets just hang there.

Stupid is as stupid does. (respectfully)

Grade "F" on communication.

Dear President Trump, Day Two

Dear President Trump,

I think you may have overstated what you could actually do as President, and I hope that you prove me wrong.

I gave myself a little reality check. Many of my “dreams” could come true for the price of just one of the gowns that was worn at one of your inaugural balls. I wonder, Mr. President Trump, if you are really aware of this.

I have a job and have worked my entire life. What do I have? Bills. Do you know what we exist? There are many of us who live from paycheck to paycheck. I feel very forgotten and ignored. You have the power and the money to change my life. It is what you often refer to as peanuts. What can you do for us, me? Time will tell.

Now on to other important things. I have been watching the hearings for the cabinet choices. The congress men and women are rude and out of control. Their questions rarely reflect my concerns. Please advise them to “stop being rude”.

I heard you say you are going to keep tweeting. It’s your prerogative. Please use it wisely and avoid petty fights and name calling. It is unseemly and unnecessary. Don’t take the bait. As you put it “Don’t be rude.”

Have a great day,

Trenna

I had written several posts while you were President Elect and I have decided to continue to do so. I don’t expect that you will take the time to read them, but I suppose it will be a good record of how someone from “middle America” might view what is or was happening.

Is it worth my time? Journaling life experiences always has value. If the value is only to me as I see how I change or grow, so be it. If others choose to read it and want to share or teach me something, so be it. How long will it go on? It’s a mystery.

Now, like many people in the United States I can not take a day off to watch the festivities. I have set the television to record. I will continue my thoughts after a full day of work and watching the recording. ….

I have completed my work day. Now I am going to read the Inauguration Speech. I am going to read it because in writing the only tone that will be inflicted is my own. Then after I read it I will watch the recording.

Plan B. I read it. I want to go to sleep with my interpretation. I will check out your tone tomorrow.

Sleep well Mr. President. You’ve had a long day.
