A letter to Donald Trump: the next president of the United States of America,

I did not vote for you. I do not like the fact that you won the election. I have accepted the fact that you will be the next president of my country... And although I do not love you, I do love my country.

I have seen people in tears since your victory. I have seen people dressed entirely in black as if they are in mourning. I have seen protests against you. I do not blame these people, for they fear for their fundamental rights due to your coming to power.

I've heard people say, "Nothing Trump said will actually happen, people are overreacting."

I do not believe they are overreacting. I heard you say things, things like wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade...

Just the fact that you said these things frightens me.

But... I am hoping you prove us all wrong.

I hope that you holding the power of the world’s greatest country in your hands does not give you an increasing sense of superiority, but that it humbles you. I hope you realize that not everyone in America has the same views as you and that you’re sensitive to that. I hope you realize that most people are not, and never will be, as privileged as you have been your entire life. I hope you open your mind and your heart, that you realize that your social views cause more harm than good.

Mr. Trump, please see America’s diversity as something beautiful, not dangerous.

You can reverse the impact of the things you’ve said with the things you do.

Mr. Trump: leave our rights alone.

Do not attempt to undo what we have worked so hard to achieve. Do not repeat history. Stop using fear tactics in order to gain supporters.

America is already great.

Obviously, we are not perfect. However, there is so much love, acceptance, and support in this country, that I truly believe will overpower the racism, hate, and fear that so many people still hold within them. Our diversity is what makes America so unique and so beautiful. Mr. Trump, I hope you know this.

I'm rooting for you. I'm hoping that you will do positive things within your presidency. I hope you prove your disapprovers wrong.
