Dear Mr. President. I know you have a lot on your mind these days. So do your constituents. We want to join forces to do the best we can for our nation. Some of us are spending every waking moment worrying about and working toward solutions to vital national and global issues. Our Independence Day is around the corner. It's a great reminder that the liberties gained through blood, sweat and tears can be easily lost through a combination of strategic errors and mindless tactical mistakes.
When I was growing up and getting educated, I became aware that life was not all about me. When I married my wife, I became aware that life was not about me at all. When we had children, I became acutely aware that life was not remotely about us. It was about our offspring and the world they were to live in.
Mr. President, when you became our Chief Executive, life was no longer about you. It's about the country. It's about the world. It's about our planet. It's not about you. We don't care what petty arguments you may have with certain segments of the media or certain individuals. We have all been criticized during our lifetime, sometimes unfairly. When I was a child, I often felt the need to push back, to go on the attack, and sometimes savage my critics. But when I grew up, and especially when I married, had children, and became a leader, I knew I had to take a more adult approach. If I was to be an example to my family, my professional colleagues, and my community citizens, I had to adopt a different approach. I had to act with dignity and respect.
Mr. President, this is what we need you to do. Act with dignity and respect.
With all the highly critical activities before us, we cannot afford to let minor issues distract us from our strategic aims. Your constant tweets baring your off-the-cuff feelings are not helpful, especially when they consist of juvenile attacks on those who disagree with you or who criticize you. It just drags you down into the mire and muck of the worst of exploitative communications. Don't do this. It's time to grow up and be the man your father would be proud of. Be the man your sons and daughters can be proud of. Be the man we can be proud of.
Mr. President, remember all the Presidents that served before you. Some were better than others. This is your opportunity to take the best characteristics of them all and adopt that behavior. This is a critical time for America...and the world.
Be the President we need.

I have spent the week drafting formal correspondence to key members of the executive staff regarding our core request for a shift in public tone. Preparation for a follow-up briefing is underway to ensure our outlined concerns regarding leadership conduct are properly documented.

The petition reached a meaningful threshold overnight. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the White House correspondence office to ensure these concerns are officially logged.

I couldn't come close to saying this as eloquently, although I have the same thoughts. There's important work to be done, and the attacks & behavior of the media and other politicians, as well as the President, is taking time and attention from those things. Please continue standing up for the US and its citizens, and rise above the pettiness.
Mr. President...it is time that you man up and assume the duties for which you were elected, All the times that you are tweeting how great you are and what you have accomplished could be spent actually accomplishing something. You are not just Donald J. Trump, citizen of the US but you are now President of said United States. Quit showing the world such childish behavior by tweeting about all the things you hate about people. Hate only breeds more hatred.
Well said.
Focus on what is important. Those that hate, lie, cheat, and support non-democratic ideas will never like you Mr. President.
The Presidency is not a reality show. We expect more from our leader.
Don't mind hearing how you're @work for us; don't need or want you to share how you're bettering yourself by putting down others.... Please stop!

Please cease the endless tweets. Personal attacks are not necessary and it makes you look petty. I like your message but I do not care for the flames you fan. It's beneath the office.
