The President Who Cried Wolf

Dear President-Elect Trump,

It's time for your briefing from the middle of the country.  You know, that area that carried you into office?  This  Midwest moderate has a few thoughts on the shit-show(sorry, no other words suffice) of this last week.  

I have sat back this last week and watched all of your stream-of-conscious tweets about the Intelligence community and the report on the hacking by the Russians.  You have covered this topic in such an irresponsible manner.  This assault on our countries free and fair elections has been turned into a side show by you. 

You were dismissive of our Intelligence community and seemingly praising of Julian Assange.  You seemed to endorse Mr. Assange's comment about this being something a 14 year old could do.  You proceeded to say that it wasn't up to you to figure out the truth about his comment.  REALLY?  

Since the report was issued, your tweets seem to be blaming the DNC for bad computer security.  All you seem concerned about emphasizing is the fact that no voter machines were hacked.  And then just a few hours ago you tweeted, "Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing.  Only "stupid" people, or fools would think this is bad!  We...have enough problems around the world without yet another one.  When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now and...both countries will, perhaps work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the WORLD!"

Apparently we the people, who are concerned about the integrity of free and fair elections are "stupid" or are "fools". I see that once again you're using the social media like a petulant teenager.  Isn't an assault on our basic freedoms a pressing problem?  For future reference could you explain what exactly constitutes a pressing problem?  Since you continue to make statements in 140 character bites with the topics ranging from your TV show being hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger to who is playing at your inauguration to bashing individual companies to attempting to conduct foreign policy with China and North Korea we need a definition of what is a pressing problem.

Mr. Trump, you are rapidly becoming the boy who cried wolf.  With your constant irresponsible barrage of tweets and refusal to hold news conferences, we the people are becoming immune to what issues to take seriously.  The attached link to the article by Elliot Smilowitz stated that Leon Panetta, former CIA director said, "Mr. Trump is undermining the credibility of the U. S. Intelligence 
community by publicly criticizing it on Twitter."  You are not only undermining the Intelligence community but you are undermining any future credibility of your own office. 

As Joe Biden said in a recent interview on the PBS Newshour "Grow up Donald.  It' time to be an adult, you're president now".  I say stop being the little boy who cried wolf.  

Sincerely,
A Disgusted Midwest Moderate
