Suggestion I actually emailed to Trump



(I did actually email this)

This came to me the other day. Do you know who the most popular president was? Roosevelt. He was elected 4 times. They passed the term limit because of him. You could be bigger than him.

We are at a turning point in history and YOU could make it happen and be the most celebrated person in the world history. Oil and coal are declining. They are also poisoning the planet. AND there are double the green jobs RIGHT NOW in the USA than in the oil industry.

Here's my idea. I heard that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and some progressives have been pushing their "green agenda". What if YOU did that? I mean, China is going solar. Think about it, what if you made that your legacy? Eisenhower did the national highway system . . Kennedy got a man on the moon. What if you made that big infrastructure plan be to make the US a renewable energy country. Set up that renewable infrastructure. Those coal mines are closing. Set up plants to make solar panels in those coal areas and retrain the miners.

You could solve all the major issues, huge problems, that are facing us that no one else has the guts or vision to do.

When the oil industry was set up, they got government subsidies because it costs a lot to build an oil well. Now they don't really need those subsidies. It's just government welfare for companies. They pay no taxes and get $1.4 Billion from taxpayers. Talk about welfare queens. Take all those subsidies back and use them as incentives for renewable energy.

Think of it, you'd provide thousands of jobs for people, the sun and wind give unlimited free energy and YOU have taken the strongest stance against the death of the planet. I can't think of the downside for you. I mean, a lot of corporate welfare queens will be really angry with you, but, the American people would LOVE you and so would the rest of the world.

I don't know all of the different aspects to think about but I bet those "green agenda" people have thought it through.

AND it would be so HUGE that all the attention would be taken from everything else. Helps everyone, creates jobs, cheap energy. . . . . It is sure something to think about.

Hope it all works out.

They take way too much petro contributions to ever allow Trump to do it.

His base would be upset as well because climate denial was one of his big things.

It will probably not go anywhere for the reasons stated by others, but you gave your best shot.

And that is worth something.

There are people who read his email for him and I think they all know he's in deep doo-doo. Maybe one of them will think this is a good idea to tell him about. There's always hope. And it would be amazing if he'd do it. He has the ego for it. Thinking he could show up all those rich people who have always shut him out. Biggest man on the planet. . . . Just his gig. AND, we all know he has no principles or actual loyalties other than himself. . . he could adopt one thing as well as the other and THIS thing will make him bigger than Santa Claus. . . . I tell you, the more I think about it, the better it sounds.

the only legacy he deserves is a picture in handcuffs.

Better idea.

Send this to every Democratic representative and senator, state and federal.

send it to every Democratic mayor, council person, and dog catcher.

Make it the Democratic banner.

But do not give that con man another thing to lie about.
