Dear Donald J. Trump
My name is Cameron, I am a 19 year old, Flint, Michigan resident, and today, I would like to call for you to officially end your presidential campaign.
Mr. Trump, when you first announced your bid to be Commander and Chief of this nation, the american people immediately dismissed your campaign as a complete joke, but not me. I genuinely believed that the people should take the time to listen to your campaign, I told others that it's possible that you may have something to offer, but in reality, I was very wrong.
Your campaign has stood for a number of divisive, racist, sexist and xenophobic ideas that literally can only result in advancing the oppression of multiple minority groups in this country, so much so, that you have gained support from people like David Duke and other former and current KKK members. Any moral human being would completely understand the anger that is stemming from American Muslims, Women, Latinos, and African Americans, even while standing by your policies. Mr. Trump, I would imagine that if you would like to be President of the United States, that you would understand the importance of uniting this nation, yet you just simply, and factually do not. You, on multiple occasions, have literally pointed the finger to those in opposition to you, and said that THEY are the problem. I see this as extremely problematic. You do not have the "we" mindset that it takes to represent a country with such diversity. Instead, you have this "us against them" mindset that is only fanning more and more flames from both sides of the isle. As a result, we have learned that this hostile environment that your rhetoric has created has turned violent, for me Mr. Trump, this is not just another campaign "mistake", this is the line.
I personally believe that simply as an adult, you MUST take responsibility for inciting the violence that currently exist. Stop saying you do not condone violence, you do. YOU JUST DO. You are lying to the American people when you say otherwise. Mr. Trump, you have yet to even apologize for your behavior, and i'm sure the black people that have been kicked out of your rallies, called the N-word, told to go back to Africa and even punched, really appreciate you paying for the legal fees of the people responsible. Do you not see the message that you are sending to us? Why would someone like me even be interested in your America? Can you even give me ONE real reason why I should believe that I have an actual shot as a black teenager in your America? As far as I know, you haven't done anything to reach out to OBVIOUSLY concerned communities like mine. Please remember, I am a Flint resident, and like other members of this community, we are wondering why you and other republicans alike haven't reached out to us.
Mr. Trump, it is obvious that you are not interested in uniting this nation, and with the growing threat of violence within your campaign, I believe as a moral adult, that you MUST end your campaign to prevent people from getting hurt any further. It is simply the right thing to do.
- Cameron.
