Dear Mrs. Trump,
I watched you yesterday being interviewed by Anderson Cooper yesterday and felt I needed to responded.
You see, as a young 20 y/o sailor, I often found myself in all male environments where we goofed off, joked around and YES....we talked dirty (but NEVER did anyone ever brag about committing sexual assault). We would even egg each other on. However, always in this situation there was an older, more experienced, more responsible, higher ranked sailor present. Usually a Petty Officer, to reign us in, keeping us disciplined and professional. When I got to be an older, more experienced sailor and attained the rank of Petty Officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, I too had to reign in younger, lower ranked sailors from misbehavior. I did not necessarily have to be their direct supervisor….that is just what was expected of me being of a higher rank. Although it was an unspoken rule, there was an air of respectability I was expected to maintain with my age and rank.
Mrs. Trump, you want us all to know that your husband Donald Trump is like a "boy." You say he was led on and egged on with all the "boys talk" we heard in the infamous Access Hollywood tape. But He was 59 years in that tape! And you want us to believe that the other man in the tape, Billy Bush, who is half his age, misled him into that bad behavior?
SORRY!!!! That excuse does not cut it, Mrs. Trump! I don't want a president that can be easily egged into egregiously bad behavior. I don't want a president easily provoked into a Twitter fight. I don’t want a president who matches every slight and insult with an equal slight and insult. I don't want a "boy" for president, Mrs. Trump. At the very least, I want my president to be more like that Petty Officer that reigned in his younger, less mature shipmates from bad behavior. At age 59, that is what your husband should have been on that bus. That is what your husband should be before he thinks about sending out another insulting tweet. With his rank, status and age, should come an air of personal dignity and respectability he SHOULD maintain. That is how it should always be.
