https://worldofwonder.net/lucy-arnaz-shares-her-husbands-letter-to-trump-all-tyrants-end-the-same-way-in-misery-that-is-your-destiny/?fbclid=IwAR0DOIQlul5PJmvKdlvel51VhgsUxe5TUHTu-WpNcorj3mnCoyqNllPL5dcFriday she shared this on Faceook;
This is NOT an example of the letter I asked you to write to the President and his government. That one needs to be CONCISE & VERY SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUE (needing help with this pandemic crisis) or it wont be counted.
BUT my husband, the very fine actor, Laurence Luckinbill, and one of the best writers of honest thought I have known, handed me this today and I felt it should be shared with all of you. Its not short (but, hey, where are you runnin?)
Feel free to share, too, if it hits a chord.
Dear Mr. President:
Folks talk about the president being in a bubblethat every president loses a sense of reality because of the enormity of the task, and so you are surrounded by aides and politicians who believe their job is to shield their boss from undue pressures. The boss cant afford to make mistakes because he (or she) is the paramount leader, and the final protector of the principle of government,
So I am wondering if you know any of the people. I am wondering how it came to be that you dont seem to feel anything that normal people feel. Perhaps your father or mother beat you? Maybe not with an electric cord, but with words and demands which may have shamed you so deeply and driven you so far back into your small Ego chamber or your dark Id cave that you have never been able to find your way to escape into the light that ordinary people see. You must have tried often, and failed every time. I wonder if thats why you can now only envision yourself as a monster like Grendel, Godzilla, Nosferatu, Josef Stalin, a rapist or a drug-dealer pushing the untested drug for the new virus that you have invested in which you push in your television ad show for yourself. Could this be true? That you can only see yourself as one of the bad people that you now project outward onto us, the real people.
I am sorry for you. I sympathize. Your life is awful. Very sad. You are a little boy playing at being a big villain. But it doesnt seem to help you feel better. You are the most unhappy man Ive ever seen.
Im curiousdid you have the natural feelings of empathy that the rest of us have, beaten out of you, so now you must inflict punishment on everyone elseespecially those you can dominate in your mindthe ones who have little recourse against your fury? Do you realize that you are a bully? Do you know that bullies are basically cowards who dominate those who will allow it? We people out here see a huge number of your victimsthe entire Republican Party has fallen beneath your heeland you seem to really like that. It is very sad.
Do you ever dream? Do your dreams consist of a desire to have everyone on earth bow down to youto kneel and kiss your hand like the old mob bosses and the tyrants of old? Have you ever felt anything but the raging urge to hurt and dominate? Your poor son Baron looks so deeply sad and disassociated when you bring him out in one of your shows. Your wife seems to be either beaten down to her round heels or to be planning a great revenge on you. Is this possible?
I write sincerely to ask these questions because I feel for you. I have empathy and I know its value to humanity. A person with empathy for others sees how deeply miserable you areeven as you try endlessly to divert yourself by dominating others. You cannot win this sad battle against your own Better Nature, as Abraham Lincoln described the force for good that will re-unite this country after you are gone. I hope the people dont arise and hang you upside down like Mussolinihe too, believed himself to be invincible. All tyrants end the same wayin misery. That is your destiny, Mr. President.
The people see all that you are doing to destroy the country that belongs to us. There are so many, many, many things you and your captive minions have done and are doing to change the people into your servants, slaves, even. The people can only tolerate the theft of their freedom for so longbut finally, as in our original Revolution, they will gather en masse to remove you and every one of your party from any position of power ever again.
This is the Easter season, The Passover season. Both celebrate escape from tyrannyfrom death itself. We, the people. are marking time from this date till the peaceful New American Revolution says a final goodbye to you. It will be such a grand relief to get rid of you. I write in sorrow that you have not learned humanityyou havent learned Faith, Hope or Charitywhich is Love. I know that if you had ever had any, you would know what those words mean.
Perhaps after you see how happy America will be without you, you will understand. I hope so. No one should have to live in your dark lonely soul ever again.
With love,
Laurence Luckinbill

You give him what he deserves
