Dear Trump,
I first congratulate you on your new position as the president of the United States of America. I believe that having won the elections, the people of America have trust in your ability and that they are impressed with your political manifesto and plans for the future America. You should, however, realize that the American problems are dynamic and have changed over the centuries. Some of the problem that affects the 21st century America currently are problems that existed from time immemorial and therefore I would not hesitate to advise you on how to tackle them.
The first fundamental problem is that Americans have not agreed on the American values, principles and her priorities; this is a key factor that will determine your success. The American dream and values have been in conflict and to some extent the agreement on what exactly our priorities are have been sabotaged by the current opposition and other organizations.

We must work with them to gain mutual benefit, providing them with technical guidance so that they can rise as well. Undermining them would only create tension between the U.S. and the world.
Also, the growing gap between the wealthy and the have-nots is a challenge to the U.S. The growing gap is a threat to the America's middle-class community. You must engage the lawmakers to find ways of improving the living standards of the poor. The biggest population of America is the middle-class community. Thus, when they raise concerns about the inequality between the wealthy and the have-nots, their concerns will certainly find their way into the global space. It is, therefore, imperative that you swiftly move to ensure that sustainable jobs are created, and the economy improves. Healthcare...
