Dear President Trump,

It is said that every cloud has a silver lining. And there are no darker clouds over this country than our shameful resignation to the killing of kids in schools. 

If you could announce a policy of creating safe schools, where we will never sacrifice another child to the false gods of the NRA or the Second Amendment, you’ll be forever in our debt and have our respect. Given the situation, such an accomplishment might completely eliminate the Democratic Party.

Just Save the Children…

Since you are a very stable genius, you and your cohorts could devise a way to let everyone keep their guns AND save the children.

I think most people, while they would prefer no violence in our cities, don’t really care if gang members want to kill each other over drug turf or testosterone-driven pursuit of dominance.

Just save the children.

I think most people don’t care if others want to own guns and, as the statistics bear out, put themselves and family members at a higher risk of dying by self-inflicted gunshots.

Just save the children,

I think most people don’t care if the guy or gal or children in the fields of America picking grapes, or cleaning the bathrooms at McDonald’s, or cutting America’s lawns, or washing their cars, swam across a river to get here, never committing a crime, but forgot to do the paperwork.

Just save the children.

I think this silver lining presents the perfect opportunity for you to accomplish something no one ever dreamed possible: a bill passed by Congress with no votes against it. What member of Congress in their right mind (okay, bad example, nevertheless) would vote against saving the children?

Just save the children.

Consider this: you’ve surrounded yourself with the best and the brightest. Surely among these acolytes, someone could craft a cogent and compelling strategy to protect our children.

And think about how this would elevate your status in the eyes of the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

And all you have to do is just save the children.

As a devout and lifelong man of faith, I know you’re inclined to offer prayers and thoughts to comfort the victims’ families and the country. But this happened in a church. Perhaps this is another message from God that even he (as we all know, there is only one sex when it comes to God, and that is the policy of these United States of America under our Christian God) needs your help.

Do this, Mr. President, and you’ll go down in history as the greatest President ever with a Nobel Peace Prize and the admiration of the entire world.

Never mind Rushmore, do this and you’ll be right up there on Golgotha with that other savior.

Sincerely,

Millions of Americans.

P.S. Think about it, all the children you save, out of appreciation for being able to go to school and not be shot, will probably grow up to be MAGA supporters and buy lots of gold sneakers, digital trading cards, Trump Cryptocurrency, and book rooms at your hotels and rounds of golf at the Trump-Gaza Championship Course. Something you’ll be able to admire in your seat in heaven.

Just save the children.
