Mr. President, you talk big right now but you must know that the overwhelming majority of the citizens of our country, believe you have failed us in so many many ways that sometimes we think it is nothing but a bad dream.  You continue to do all you can to divide us and to create turmoil. For most of us now, it is not about politics anymore, it is about the survival of our country, our freedoms, the well being of our families, and the future of our children and future generations.

As I see it. the time has come for you to consider one of these three alternatives:

 - Resign now. Make up a story, you are good at that. About 40% of the people may believe it

 - Declare that you will not seek or accept another term (see making up a story above) 

 - Run for another term and get ready to be defeated by a landslide “the likes of which has never been seen before”

  You get to decide Mr. President.  I hope you make the right decision for our country.
