An Open Letter

To: Rep. Ross, Sen. Tillis, Sen. Budd

From: A constituent in Raleigh, NC

January 21

I don't use the word "dementia" lightly. I don't say that a person has lost their mental faculties unless I mean it. My mother died from dementia this past August. I watched what the disease did to her mental state as well as her physical state. It was horrifying and sad. For 4 years I listened to Republicans casually refer to Joe Biden as "Dementia Joe". Mr. Biden was old, but he did not have dementia and he did not lose control of his mental faculties. Yet the Republicans remain quiet on Trump's obvious physical and mental decline. He either has brain damage or dementia. He has clearly lost control of his mental faculties. He is mentally incapacitated. We have watched Trump's downward spiral since January of 2025. He gets worse every day. I assume you are listening to his speech today in Davos. I assume you have listened to his speeches here in the United States and elsewhere over the last year. I know you see his bizarre social media posts. And I know there is no way that you could possibly think that Trump is mentally fit and sane and capable to be running our country. Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. I don't believe the Republicans will do that and I'm not quite sure why you all are willing to sit quietly by while an unhinged, mentally incapacitated man destroys our country, our world standing, and the international world order that has been in place since World War II. The time has come to remove Trump. The time has come to remove the people in Trump's orbit who are basically using Trump as a prop to spread their unpopular agenda. These unelected officials, Miller, Vought, RFK, Hegseth, and others who for some reason Republicans believed were capable of running our country need to be removed immediately. The European leaders are begging the United States Republicans to remove Trump. The American citizens, regardless of political party, also realize that Trump needs to be removed. Trump is a danger; he is like a cornered animal who has no control over the thoughts that are running through his addled mind and he will lash out in any way possible, even if it means hurting our country. The Republicans could stop Trump today. That is the most frustrating part for us to watch - the Republicans sitting cowardly by while they watch Trump unleash his furor at the American people and at our allies. Why Congress? Why are you allowing Trump to continue to stay in office when he is clearly unfit? Isn't our country worth saving? Isn't the International World Order worth saving? Isn't it more important to remain with our allies instead of siding with dictators like Putin? Please, do what you know needs to happen and remove Trump from office immediately.
