Dear Mr. Trump,

As of right now, you have won 82 delegates. There is little comparison between your trajectory and that of your Republican counterparts, as the candidate closest to your heels has a mere 17 delegates. I have not lived to see many presidential elections, and I have lived to vote in far fewer, but I cannot recall such an utterly terrifying political race ever unfolding. Your campaign is picking up speed at a frightening pace and, frankly, I do not understand why.

Since you will most likely win the candidacy, all I can hope is that you will listen to the citizens of this country that you so desperately want to make great again. I'm not talking about the citizens whom you've already won over. I do not mean for you to appeal to those who scream "Light the motherf****r on fire!" at protesters while they are being forcibly removed from your rallies. Listen to citizens like me, a young woman working hard on an education that holds little value in today's job market. Think about citizens like my mother, who is a college student herself while simultaneously caring for two children, working as a substitute teacher, and volunteering what little spare time she has to a local middle school band program, or like my father, an immigrant that loves America in a way that you could never understand, keeping his nose to the grindstone from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., six days a week so that he may provide opportunities to his kids that he didn't have.

I am not a powerful enough person to see to it that you read this, but I sincerely hope you do. I hope that somehow, someone is able to reach you and plant the seed of a different viewpoint in your mind. I fear your campaign. I fear your proposed policies and your ideologies. And most of all, I fear that one day, those policies and ideologies will come to fruition.

If you become president, I am afraid that you will negatively impact some of my best friendships. I met Selma my sophomore year of high school in choir. Selma is bubbly, outgoing, talented, and genuine. But there's another thing that stands out about Selma -- she is Muslim. I didn't know, and probably never would have known, until I learned that she was fasting for Ramadan. She was completely comfortable with my over-inquisitiveness, and taught me about all of the holidays that her family cherishes. Her family always opened their doors and welcomed us chorus kids during the holidays and invited us to be a part of what mattered to them, and Selma always celebrated Christmas with us.

I'll never forget one day during our junior year, we had gone out to the local Starbucks during our lunch period, and we sat in the car for a good while just talking about life. I asked her a lot of questions about the Quran, how she felt Islam compared to Christianity (since her family had studied the Bible, as well), and finally I asked her why she did not wear a hijab. How she answered that question still rings in my ears some four years later. She said, "Because it takes a lot of a special kind of strength to wear a hijab in America." Sixteen and 17-year-old girls should be worried about what their prom dress is going to look like, not what the consequences would be for publicly expressing their religion.

If that is what it's like to be a Muslim teenager in America now, what will it be like if you implement your proposition to require all Muslims to register in a government database? Would the metaphorical Star of David pinned to the shirts of our Muslim citizens require me to have that same special strength it takes for a woman to wear a hijab, to walk down the street with Selma? Why won't you answer a reporter's questions about how that compares to Nazi Germany?

I am afraid for the children my generation will bring up. I want my children to have friends like Selma. I want them to be able to learn and experience other cultures and world views; to see the world as something that doesn't just belong to them, and understand that they have to share it with people who may think differently than they do.

I fear for my future daughters. I do not want them growing up in a country lead by a man who views women as objects and values them only by their sex appeal. I am afraid that my daughters will not be able to receive the benefits of the hard work that myself, other women of my generation, and a multitude of women before us have put into achieving equality. I want my daughters to be brought up in a society where they are not bound by their gender, they are respected by their male peers, and are proud to be a girl. I want to teach them that they have just as much to offer as a man does, and they are so much more than a prop for the advancement or sexual gratification of men.

In a 1991 interview with Esquire, you said, "It doesn't really matter what the media writes about you, as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass." I refuse to allow your misogyny to deter me from accomplishing my dreams, or reduce me to sitting idly by and becoming a footnote in a man's success story. But I worry that I will not be able to say the same for my daughters. I am afraid that with your influence over our society, every "you can do anything you put your mind to!" will be matched with an "as long as you're young, attractive, and have a man to facilitate it for you."

When I have children, I do not want to be looked down upon if they need to be fed in public. Judging by your 2011 outburst in court (consisting of yelling "you're disgusting!" turning red, and running out of the room) when attorney Elizabeth Beck needed to excuse herself during a predetermined break to pump breast milk for her three-month old daughter, you will be of no assistance in the debate of the right for mothers to breastfeed in public.

There are still so many changes I want to see for women. I do not want to have to explain to my daughter that she will be taxed for a "luxury item" when buying tampons. I do not want her to be denied women's health education, services, or affordable birth control because Planned Parenthood has been condemned, while her male counterparts can walk into a number of establishments and leave with a handful of condoms for free, with little to no questions asked. I know you don't care, because you think of women as defective. I know that, like Hilary Clinton, you know where we went, and you think it's disgusting; though I'd be willing to bet you've used the restroom a few times yourself. I know that, like Angelina Jolie, you view all women as depreciating in worth with every man they date, which is a bold statement from a man on wife number three.

I am afraid that under your leadership, no accomplishment by a woman will be fully recognized because you can't look past the fact that she has breasts and a vagina (or "other body parts" as you -- much like a 10-year- old, said in reference to female anatomy in your 1997 publication, "Trump: The Art of the Comeback.")

I fear that you won’t take America’s delicate economic situation seriously. Currently, our total national debt is climbing its way towards $20 trillion. You have proposed higher taxes on importing foreign vehicles, and mentioned higher tariffs on imports from China. You have also proposed repealing Obamacare, which would be a costly venture at this point. I don't think anyone knows where you stand on taxes, because you have barely discussed it and you’ve changed your stance multiple times.

You want to let your friends handle the economics of the United States. I am worried that you aren’t considering these people for their knowledge, skill, and reliability, but because they are your friends. Your buddies may be successful businessmen, but so are you. You became a very successful entrepreneur all on your own, with your father's small loan of $1 million, and you only had to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy about five times, if I am counting correctly. Your businesses are still in debt and you have faced multiple lawsuits over failed projects and lost money. I am worried that you will run our country the way you ran Trump Plaza -- right into the ground. Or in our case, six feet under.

You do not appear to take the threat of ISIS seriously. I do not think your plan of letting Russia handle it, and hoping for the best, is feasible. When put under pressure about your lack of a plan, you seemingly improvised to “bomb the s**t out of them.” You claim you did not lack a plan, just simply kept your plan under wraps because you are going to win, and you want ISIS to be surprised. I am afraid that is the reality television star speaking, not the presidential candidate. I am afraid that your lackadaisical plan to "bomb the s**t out of ISIS" and take over their oil trade will trigger conflict in the Middle East of outrageous proportions. I am afraid my children will grow up in a country owned by Exxon Oil. Contrarily, I fear I won’t live to have children in a country owned by Exxon Oil. It is speculated that the population of the Earth could be killed several times over by the current known supply of nuclear weapons, and a third world war sounds like an excellent way to test that theory. I very much lack military knowledge. I do not know what a good plan would be. But I do not think a casual idea of dropping bombs, or letting Russia deal with it, is not much of a plan at all.

I beg of you, Mr. Trump, to stop thinking so much of what your supporters want to hear. Think of the people who don’t support you. Instead of having us forcibly removed from your rallies, listen to us. Learn something from us. Your worldview from the top of the food chain is horribly exclusive; If you wish to have a successful campaign, nomination, and potentially presidency you have to think from multiple perspectives. A job with as much responsibility as the President of the United States of America is not as cut and dry as “build a wall, put them in a database, shut her up, let someone else handle it.”

Personal growth is an amazing experience. For the sake of my future, I hope you’ll indulge in that experience.

Sincerely,
A concerned female millennial with blood coming out of her eyes and blood coming out of her "wherever."
