Dear Mr. Trump:
I refer to you as Mr because I do not recognize you as my president. Or anyones president for that matter. You lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, more than any president in United States history. And with the likely help of Russian hacks, oppressive voter ID laws, other acts of voter suppression and election fraud, and an embarrassingly neutered media, you squeaked out a measly 306 electoral votes, placing you in the bottom fifth of all presidents ever.
But in true Trumpian fashion, youve boasted of a massive landslide victory. Sorry, pal. The only landslide was Hillary Clintons, as she received more votes than any president in history except for Barack Obama in 2008. One things for sure though: you were right about the election being rigged. For you.
Now that weve gotten the niceties out of the way, let me ask the most obvious question: what the fuck is wrong with you!? Seriously, do you not give a shit about your legacy, if not for yourself, at least for your kids, grandkids and future generations of Trumps? If your goal is to beat James Buchanan as the worst president in history, well then Mazel Tov, as youre halfway there and youve still got five weeks till inauguration day!
Lets start with your cabinet picks. You were supposed to drain the swamp, not restock it with self-serving corporate billionaires and other uber-rich insiders and cronies. Youve appointed a banana-republic-worthy gaggle of unqualified, inexperienced, intellectually un-curious sexists/misogynists, racists, stabbers (ok, just one knifer, Ben Carson), fake-news-spreaders and Russian sympathizers. And your alt-right white nationalist advisor Steve Bannon sits atop this basket of deplorables. This is your idea of populism!?

He is crazy.
He is a flawed human-being and has appeared to be so from a very early age when he was sent to boarding school because his parents could not handle him.

Psychoses can be treated, but personality disorders can't.
