An open letter to the President

Trump - Stop the endless grifts!!!

8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

The presidency is not a personal cash register. The Oval Office is not a marketing studio. The United States government is not a vehicle for self-promotion, self-protection, or self-enrichment. Mr. President, Americans are weary of watching political power blur into personal profit. They are tired of the spectacle, the constant monetization of grievance, the endless cycle of fundraising, branding, and financial ventures orbiting your public office. Leadership is meant to serve the nation — not leverage it. The pattern has been impossible to ignore: • Politics transformed into a product line • Loyalty measured in dollars and donations • Campaign machinery that never powers down • Ethical concerns and conflict-of-interest questions treated as background noise • Public trust stretched thinner with each controversy This is not strength. This is not strategy. This is not leadership. Public office is a sacred trust. It demands restraint, transparency, and a clear separation between national duty and personal financial interest. Anything less corrodes confidence, fuels cynicism, and weakens the very institutions a president is sworn to protect. Americans are struggling — with costs, housing, healthcare, wages, and uncertainty. They are tightening budgets while watching political theater dominate headlines. They are sacrificing while leaders appear insulated from consequences. They deserve steadiness, not spectacle. They deserve integrity, not entanglement. They deserve governance, not grift. Mr. President, the country is not a brand. The presidency is not a business model. The American people are not customers, donors, or props in a perpetual performance. They are citizens. Act like it. Restore the dignity of the office. Respect ethical boundaries. Put public service ahead of personal gain. Demonstrate that leadership is about responsibility — not revenue. Because history will remember not the slogans, not the rallies, not the headlines — but whether you honored the trust placed in you. And Americans are watching.
