Editor,

It’s so simple. And just think, only one person can do it. Our country’s president confirms that he is that person.

Yes, he was for sure elected – though it was kinda close! He offers next-day results and rapid-fire, miracle-like remedies for us. He says he is doing it just for us. What a relief and we like that he sticks to the basics.

An obvious basic thing we need to do are the tariffs on trade with other countries – make other countries pay. These other countries are our enemies – pure and simple – they take advantage of us. If our president uses strong remedy, it is because he’s spotted that these countries are so much worse than anything we do to them.

So many people are unfair to the USA. His ability to recognize enemies tells you why we pretty much need to declare war. The benefits, for us, will be almost immeasurable. Historical and legendary, actually.

Need fewer immigrants or parasites collecting benefits? Make ‘em disappear. There’re many kinds of drain holes, and our president seems to have found one with a really good one-way travel valve. You know, we have not seen people disappear quite like they do in El Salvador.

How about our biggest national expense, Social Security? Can’t mess with that program. It is our money. Well, easy remedy. Reduce the number of offices and staff who are sending out all those payments. Same as shutting down a program, but the program looks like it’s still there.

Quick now, who keeps their government job? Easy. If they are loyal, they stay. If they aren’t loyal, they disappear. This applies to generals too. It’s “his generals” or they gotta go!

Tally all the results by counting heads and stacks of dollar bills. Laws and due-process – don’t go there; you save lots of time and money. Stick to the bottom-line — no people stories, at all. No talking about the public servant who was so loyal to her work. No talking about fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, citizens, friends and fellow townsmen. Don’t go soft on the process. We’re talking about millions and billions of results!

It’s so simple, if you believe – really believe. Yes, we finally have one person who can turn this country around from what earlier Democratic and Republican administrations did. Government! There’s no need to look down your road at consequences. Just do it. Look, private enterprise will step in and pick up any loose ends. The best people survive and besides, they’ll make an honest fortune while they’re at it.

It’s so easy. It’s like what we decided in the election. One person can do this. We gotta use this magic wand because otherwise … life is just too complicated, unsafe and totally mixed up.

Thank goodness we have this one person.

Yeah right.
