Dear Mr. Trump,

I have been closely following your campaign since you announced your intention to run for President of the United States. Like millions of Americans of all political stripes, I greatly appreciate your frankness, your honesty, and your candor. The criticisms you are leveling against the mainstream political and media establishment in America – the corrupt, superficial nature of electoral politics, the disastrous and poorly negotiated international trade deals our “leaders” have pushed on this country, the dishonest, malicious behavior of the “journalists” and “political pundits” covering politics today, etc. – are resonating very deeply across this once great nation for very obvious reasons. Most Americans I know and deal with feel alienated from the political establishment, viewing the career politicians running Washington, DC and the media that serves them as hostile to American political traditions and culture.

Millions of people in this country eagerly wish to live in an America that can be considered “great” once again, and we hope you can lead us there, as your campaign slogan indicates.

In my opinion, you are running a brilliant campaign. You have great talking points and you handle the (oftentimes hostile and venomous) media extremely well. Your performance in the Republican debate the other night was outstanding. You dominated, and most people I have personally spoken to about this clearly recognized that fact. According to the polls I have seen, most people who took the time to watch the debate agree with my assessment – you crushed.

Your response to Megyn Kelly’s contention that you may be part of the alleged “war on women” was just fantastic. You didn’t back down or apologize, as everyone else would have, and stuck to your guns. “I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct,” you correctly stated, before explaining that America does not have time for political correctness anymore. Indeed, political correctness is destroying this country, and more and more people are recognizing this fact with each passing day.

You embody the type of leader America has long been craving for. You come across as confident, bold, unswerving, and genuine, while the rest of the presidential candidates – both Republican and Democrat – are the exact opposite. The rest of the presidential candidates are phonies. They are career politicians who have accomplished little despite their contentions to the contrary. They have no backbone or genuineness, and epitomize everything wrong with American politics. All clear thinking people see through the various Republican candidates and Hillary Clinton, correctly viewing all of them as dishonest, spineless politicians willing to sell their soul to the devil for even more political and economic power as well as personal aggrandizement. The other candidates are pathetic, and we all recognize it.

You appear to be running as a populist, which has a rich history in America. I understand populism to mean “rule by the majority of electors for the benefit of all, not for the benefit of minority, special-interest groups,” as it is defined in Populism vs. Plutocracy: The Universal Struggle. Populism is about running the government for the benefit of the people, of the nation, rather than for the benefit of organized special interests. And we all know America is run by special interests – the exact opposite of populism. Based on your speeches, media interviews, and comments during the debate, you seem to want to do what is right for the country and for the American people. You are bringing up issues that no one in the mainstream is willing to openly discuss, including illegal immigration, our disastrous trade policies, and the stifling effects of political correctness, to name only a few. You are making all sorts of extremely important points about a variety of critical topics in a very powerful way. I salute you and hope you stay true to your word, never backing down to the tyrants controlling our media and political establishment.

Sounds like one of his brown nosing Twitter follower's tweets, but in more than 144 characters.

A bid to be Mrs. Trump #4? He said, TL;DR.

When ya gonna tell the Donald something he doesn't know?

Oh yeah, he knows (almost) everything, and doesn't seem to be facing indictment for any illegal activities.......probably why he has so much support.

Who cares about your open letter? Your rambling comes across as just another nobody who buys into the Trump nonsense because of lack education, income, social status or all of that.
