Dear President Trump,
Your bold, unwavering approach to governance—charging full speed ahead with executive orders and aggressively restructuring government agencies—may be well-intentioned. Still, I urge you to reconsider the broader impact. The very people who put their faith in you, hardworking Americans seeking stability and opportunity, are bearing the brunt of these sweeping cuts.
Instead of focusing on eliminating agencies outright, turn your attention to the real issue—career politicians. Decades ago, many of these agencies were created with the intention of serving the public and making a global impact. However, over time, entrenched politicians found ways to siphon taxpayer money under the guise of “overhead costs,” enriching themselves while leaving everyday Americans to struggle. Just look at their soaring net worths and the lucrative business deals that seem to follow their political careers.
The American middle class has already endured enough hardship, especially after the economic turmoil under Biden. Eliminating jobs without strategic oversight only adds to their suffering. Reform is necessary, but it should be guided by logic and precision, not by a broad, indiscriminate sword. Real change starts at the top—by holding career politicians accountable for their corruption, not by stripping middle-class Americans of their livelihoods.
I urge you to reconsider this approach and fight for the people who trusted you to defend their futures.
Sincerely,
Joni Berry
