Dear Mr. President,
This habit of lying that you have is getting completely out
of control. The other day I watched the
Senate hearings on Russian election hacks.
I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears and I understood
everything that was said. Then the next
day I saw this tweet from you:
"The
NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence electoral
process."
Which is TOTALLY FALSE.
That is the complete opposite of
what FBI Director Comey said. I honestly
don't know if you didn't understand what was being said at the hearing, or if
you just thought it would be OK to lie because the American public is too
stupid and apathetic to know the difference (and I'm not sure which option
scares me the most). Either you are a
total idiot or have completely lost touch with reality and have decided to
shape your own (reality that is).
Of course all of the major news outlets picked up on your
tweet and called it out as false. But
the best article I read about it came from Slate. Here's what they said:
"Both
he and his White House have made a conscious decision to
destabilize
public discourse, to fracture and undermine common
understanding. President Trump isn't just lying to the
American
people;
he's saying, almost openly, that the truth just doesn't
matter
either way."
That quote chills me to the bone. To think that we have as President of the
largest and most powerful country in the world, a man who is actively undermining common understanding
for his own ends.
I don't know where this will all end, hopefully with
impeachment and sooner rather than later. You are beginning to lose Republican
support just as you have lost the support of the majority of the voting public. All polls list you below 40% in approval
ratings (some as low as 35% which is historic). So I will keep writing and
watching and listening and calling you out for the liar and sneak that you
are. And wait for things to change.
In Truth,
Amy Beaton
Amazing letter today!
