A few weeks ago, I decided to send a letter to the White House expressing my fears and anxiety about what’s happening with Social Security. In short, I urged them to handle Social Security with care and not mess it up for the 70 million Americans who have earned and rely on this benefit.
Yesterday, I received a reply—and I can’t shake the feeling that no one actually read my letter. It seemed like a canned response, the kind they probably send out to everyone, no matter what issue you bring up. It left me with the strong impression that they’re not really listening to us, and that Mr. Trump is going to do whatever he wants regardless of what we say.
The response I got was nothing more than a piece of propaganda—full of misleading claims and political spin. Still, I’m sharing it here so you can see for yourself what kind of response you might get if you write to the White House and voice your concerns.
Dear Mr. Epley,
Thank you for taking the time to share your views regarding America’s role on the world stage.
Every day, my Administration is proudly advancing policy that puts our citizens, our values, and our Nation first. When our country is strong, the world is safe—and Americans are secure, prosperous, and free, providing a new era of peace and prosperity worldwide.
On the first day of my term—to protect our Nation’s strength, safety, and success—I signed an Executive Order directing my Secretary of State to ensure that all policies, programs, personnel, and operations at the Department of State defend America’s interests and champion the needs of the American people. I also ordered an immediate 90-day pause on foreign aid so my Administration can ensure that every American tax dollar spent on foreign assistance advances our interests, reflects our values, and safeguards our security.
As President, I remain steadfastly committed to modernizing our military, bolstering our alliances, and improving our diplomatic capabilities. My Administration is working to restore our military readiness, purge the illegal and divisive DEI ideology from the ranks of our Armed Forces, and deploy a next-generation missile defense shield to protect our Nation.
Another critical part of defending America’s standing in the world is putting American workers, farmers, and businesses on a level playing field and eliminating our economic dependence on foreign countries. To achieve this goal, my Administration is prioritizing domestic production and balancing trade through the use of tariffs and increasing domestic manufacturing. For far too long, poorly negotiated trade deals have crippled American workers by allowing foreign nations to flood our markets with cheap goods while hollowing out our manufacturing base here at home. This great betrayal of our Nation is finally over—and American workers and manufacturers will soon be thriving and flourishing like never before.
As President, I will never stop fighting for the needs of our citizens and our homeland. Over are the days of war, poverty, and weakness—and I look forward to working together to usher in a new dawn of American safety, prosperity, and peace.
Thank you again for writing. May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.
