Dear Mr. President,
I did a quick Google search and it turns out there is no how-to-be-a-president-leadership-handbook. And since your first week has been so bumpy and your approval rating is only 35% (which is the lowest in history for any president in his first week), I decided to make you a cheat sheet on how to be a leader.
Here goes:
-stop picking fights
-stop making obviously false statements
-stop deflecting
-stop obfuscating
-stop saying things like "alternative facts" (because that is not a thing)
-stop trying to discredit very credible people
-stop self aggrandizing
-stop humble bragging (especially about things that aren't true, see item #2)
-stop insulting people that disagree with you
-stop speaking in gross generalizations (i.e. "complete and total disaster")
-stop berating journalists
And for the love of God, PLEASE STOP TWEETING!!
I purposely kept this short for ease of use. Print it out...fold up a copy and put it in your pocket...tack it up on your bulletin board...tape it to a corner of your desk. Maybe even read it over once or twice before you fall asleep at night. But please Mr. Trump, you are the President of the United States of America. It's time to start acting like it!
Yours in Honesty,
Amy Beaton
