An Open Letter to Donald Trump

Dear Mr. President:

As much as I hate to use the term, you are the President of the United States of America. Now normally, if you were on fire I wouldn't bother to piss on you to help you out, but as of right now, our interests may be aligned. So, while you'll never read this (because you don't read anything), I do have a bit of advice for you:

Pull Kavanaugh's nomination right now.

Now, sure, I'm a liberal, and I hate you, but hear me out. Right now, you have two big holds over the GOP and conservative movement - your supporters and the power of nominating conservative judges. And you've done the job that the conservative movement has wanted you to do. And you're up to the precipice of finally having enough votes on the Supreme Court to kill Roe v. Wade. And the conservative movement guys have been fighting for the past forty years for this exact moment.

But once Kavanaugh is confirmed, one of your two big levers to power goes away. The conservative movement won't need you anymore. Nor will they need your supporters because they'll have the votes on the Court to overturn every piece of legislation they want. And since Kavanaugh and the rest of the conservatives on the Court are in their 50's, they'll control things for the next 30 years.

In the meantime, you being, well, you, is a tremendous distraction and you're probably hurting the GOP's chances at staying in power come November. And the GOP professional class, those guys who wrote the op-ed in the New York Times trashing you, HATE YOU.

My guess is that them moment Kavanaugh is confirmed, they're going to force you out one way or another (probably through the 25th Amendment). Hell, if they claim that you are incapacitated, they can take away your ability to tweet and contact your supporters. They will drop your ass.

But what about your diehard supporters? These are the same diehards that backed George W. Bush - the guy you trashed throughout the 2016 campaign, while also shitting on his brother - they will move on if Fox News and the conservative hegemons tell them to. And they will.

So, if you want to keep being President, which to both our surprise, you actually do, you need to withdraw Kavanaugh's nomination, and withhold a new pick to the Supreme Court for as long as possible.

Just an FYI. Also, I hope you rot in hell.
