Dear Mr. Trump,

As a citizen of the United States of America and a Political Science Major, this election meant a lot to me. The 19^th Amendment that the women of our country worked so hard to obtain will forever have a pertinent place in my heart. This election was the first time I was able to vote, and I exercised my right. I know too many people who wanted you as our next President and even more people who never thought you stood a chance against Clinton.

What I am here to say as of right now, I suppose, is congratulations. After two long years of campaigning, you’ve made it to the finish line before Hillary. I swing slightly right in the world of politics, so the idea of you as our next President does NOT scare me, but it scares so many of my friends and family. You won the hearts of millions of Americans who wanted change, and with them, I agree. On the other hand, millions of Americans could never understand the idea of a Trump presidency or how Republicans could elect a person like you into office.

At about 8 a.m. on November 9th, I woke up knowing that the world would be torn no matter the outcome, which is not the way it should be. These next four years will surely be different from the past eight, but Mr. Trump, you are responsible for the American citizens now. You are responsible for protecting us. You have now taken on that position, and we will be waiting for that change that we have longed to see.

Although you have won the hearts of many, show the rest of the world that the media has so far twisted your person. Show us that you have some good, even if you have to dig down deep to find it. Show those who didn’t want you as President that you will work hard for our citizens and the rights of us as Americans.

We are on the road to recovery, and we will be waiting for you to show us how to “Make America Great Again”.

Sincerely,

A voter patiently waiting for America to be “great” again
