Dear Donald,
I’ve never asked you for anything before, so I’m hoping you won’t look upon my request like all of your friends that asked you for pardons or those that begged you to spend all that money you amassed to help someone besides yourself. I’ve scoffed at the premise that anything you ever did made America better. I realize your time is short as you’re under investigation for several criminal and civil matters. The Justice Department (God-willing) may indict you in the next couple of weeks. The Republican Party, Fox News, and most people not associated with white supremacists are ready to move on. One thing you could do before you go that’s well within your limited skill set is take Ron DeSantis down before you go.
I confess to having been entertained back in 2016 when you took down all your Republican challengers for the Republican nomination for President. Those were your glory days when you took out; “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted,” “Loe Energy Jeb,” and the rest. While you were never much for governing, you were the best at disparaging insults and driving the popularity of your opponents into the dust. If it isn’t too much trouble, and you already don’t like him, please add Ron “De-sanctimonious” DeSantis to your list. Do it for yourself, but as a byproduct, it would be great for America.
Ron owes you everything; he would never have become Governor of Florida without your blessing and support. Now look at him; he’s trying to take from you what is rightfully yours. Fox News covers him every time he speaks; that privilege used to be reserved for you. You told us you saved his original bid for Governor by sending in the FBI to aid him in his primary. Do you think he’d return the favor and issue you a pardon should you be in jail if he becomes President? Of course not.
When all your cronies lined up to kiss your. . . uh, ring and claim the 2020 Presidential election was rigged and how you were the rightful President. Where was Ron DeSantis? He straddled the fence, created his election police, and even formed his own army, yet he never claimed you were robbed. How’s that for a friend?
I’d take the time to tell you how bad DeSantis is, but this is already too long for you to read, so I won’t bore you. DeSantis is a dictator like you wanted to be, but he’s a little smoother than you, if you don’t mind my saying so. All you need to know is that DeSantis would be considered a better President than you, not good, just better than you.
You’ve taken a few steps, Donald, but I can tell you’ve been holding back. I’d like you to be that Donald again that had the nation talking about your latest insult. I don’t mean to rush you, but any day now, the Justice Department, Fulton County District Attorney, Manhattan District Attorney, New York Attorney General, et al., might throw a monkey wrench into your plans and cause you to get distracted.
Don’t go out like just another criminal and failed politician. You deserve to go out in a blaze of glory, taking down the disloyal, low-life that would be nothing without you. You failed us during COVID-19, and that time you led an insurrection on January 6th. Give in to your inner petty; America will thank you.
