I am writing as a constituent deeply concerned about the economic instability triggered by the President’s recent statements and actions, particularly his threats regarding Greenland and renewed tariff escalation. These remarks have coincided with declines in the value of the U.S. dollar and significant stock market volatility, creating real financial harm for American households, businesses, and investors.
What is especially alarming is not only the economic damage itself, but the manner in which it is occurring. In recent public appearances, the President has delivered rambling, low-energy remarks that wandered through unrelated anecdotes while simultaneously boasting about a “record-breaking” stock market during periods when markets were visibly declining. This disconnect between public statements and observable reality raises serious concerns about judgment, situational awareness, and decision-making at the highest level of government.
Whether or not the President has any underlying medical condition is beside the point. Fitness for office is not solely a medical question — it is a question of judgment, priorities, and responsibility. A leader who repeatedly appears detached from economic reality, dismisses market reactions to his own threats, and prioritizes personal ambition and perceived slights over national stability is failing that test.
The fixation on acquiring Greenland illustrates this problem clearly. The United States can support and defend Greenland in partnership with Denmark without threatening global markets, alienating allies, or undermining confidence in the American economy. Instead, the President’s rhetoric has fueled uncertainty and instability, costing Americans real money through currency weakness, market losses, and rising economic anxiety.
Leadership requires restraint, clarity, and a commitment to the public interest. When a president’s words alone are enough to rattle markets — and those words appear driven by ego rather than necessity — Congress has a duty to take notice.
I urge you to exercise oversight and address whether this ongoing pattern of behavior is compatible with the responsibilities of the presidency and the economic well-being of the American people.
