LETTER TO MR TRUMP, THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA
Dear Mr Trump,
Let me say outright so I set the tone early of this message to you. You are a far better President than Biden, certainly one with the bigger heart. But let’s not dwell on him, let him rest well, the poor tired old man.
Mr Trump, they laughed and mocked you, yes even your own citizens, but I never let myself fully believe your exaggerated words and actions. I said to myself someone who used IT and AI to win his last election couldn’t have changed 360 degrees overnight. There must be a certain learned tactic and psychology to what he is doing.
Anyway Mr Trump the last few days and weeks people have begun to see the real you. I am a Muslim from faraway Mr Trump, needless to say our hearts have bled so badly over what has happened and is happening in Gaza. We sympathized with the horrors of Auswich and the victims of Mr Hitler in WW2 but never in our wildest dreams we expect to see in our own times children jetfighter bombed to the sky, pregnant women bulldozed alive, children deliberately sniped in the knee, cripples hurt and humiliated in their wheelchairs, hungry people queueing for food at open kitchens, bombed to smithereens.
Mr Trump you may not believe it but there are rules for us, Muslims at war ; we are not to hurt, women, children and old people in war including their farm animals and even touch a single leaf of their fruit tree. We go to hell for that Mr Trump. So I hope you can digest our pain at seeing what is happening in Gaza knowing that we can and will never do similar things if roles were reversed. A human being is born with dignity Mr Trump ; without that he is no longer human.
Allow me to share with you some of our beliefs so perhaps you can understand better our views. Humans are all born as Vice Regent of God on earth. Our task is to use and develop the worldly resources God has given us for the benefit of humanity and all His creations. God made us of different races and colours so that we get to know each other and lived peacefully together. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) said mafhum (meaning), the Arabs are not better than the non Arabs, nor the whites better than the blacks, we are all the same in the eyes of God, the nearest of us to Him is one with the highest taqwa (piety). Life on this earth is a mere blink of an eye compared to the permanence of the hereafter. All of us will be trialled on the day of judgement , the good go to Paradise, the bad go to hell. And of course there is one overriding condition- that We worship only one God and assign no partners to Him.
Back to Gaza, I’ve also suspected the decent man you are, you are just as pained as anyone of us. That is why your announcements and words lately have filled our hearts with hope that the end of world misery is near. You never liked the Ukraine- Russia war borne in the watch of the previous President ; you ended the Pakistan – India fracas like a seasoned international Statesman. You hold out olive branches to the new President of Syria, the brave Houthis of Yemen, and you seek compromise with Iran and China. And you hold a respectful relationship with Mr Erdogan and Mr Putin.
We understand the position you are in Mr Trump. I think you should know, that the world has a respect for the true Americans, as once epitomized by your President John F. Kennedy and similar. But America under a certain control and grip of a certain group of people is a different ball game. Which is a crying shame because we know the ordinary American is as good as any decent citizen of the world.
Which brings me to the topic I wish to address - your recent announcement of free passage for illegal immigrants to leave the US, By the way I am a happy citizen of my country and have no intention of going to live anywhere, leave alone the US. You seemed obsessed with illegal immigrants in the US, or in other words the number of people in your country. Let me suggest Mr President you are barking up the wrong tree.
If you want to make America great again and provide for the well being of Americans focusing on immigrants in America is not going to solve the problem. Actually the greater number of people in your country will mean a higher GDP for your country. Every single human being is a potential contributor to a nation’s GDP. When he or she wakes up every morning, and work, he or she is a contributor to your GDP.
May I divert your attention to an industry in the US worth USD23.9 trillion, and with US GDP at USD29 trillion today , is almost 83% of GDP. It has a revenue of almost USD1.5 trillion per annum and make profits of USD268 billion per annum. In other words, another way of looking at it, is, this is a certain group of people who owns the industry; already worth USD23.9 trillion ; makes sales of USD1 trillion per annum, and makes profits USD268 billion per annum.
Now I ask you Mr Trump, is it right, is it fair, is it acceptable that these super rich people, sitting on USD23.9 trillion of wealth , continue to get USD268 billion worth of profits every year?! Would not that annual profits be much more useful to be received by the poor people of America?! We know of the poor people of America, the homeless that lives on the streets of your cities, that pitched tents in your parks. Wouldn’t they benefit Mr Trump?!
I am of course referring to your banking industry. The one given the right to create the money they lent with interest. The one that focused on personal loans and personal sector such that US household debt is 61.7% of GDP. Actually we at the International Movement for Monetary Reform wish to promote a fairer monetary system for every country in the world including in the US.
This system is called Sovereign Money Mr Trump; money is no longer created by banks but by a Central Monetary Authority, independent of Banks and the ruling Government. They report to Congress or Parliament or other similar House of Representatives. Of course the tweaks of Sovereign Money are different for each nation but the general principle of non bank money creation is the same. With this system banks are no longer creators of money, and we ensure much of the money goes to the real sector to create employment and economic output. Jobs will be abundant now, and soon wages and salaries will go up in line with the increased demand for labour. At this point you may be appealing for your illegal immigrants to come back in droves Mr Trump, due to the shortage of labour to meet the increased economic output.
Your Small Business Sector creates almost 63% of jobs in US but receives a mere fraction of total loans leading to the sad non creation of jobs in the US like in all nations presently. Under Sovereign Money we will ensure much of the money will go to the real economy to create economic output and jobs and Make America Great again, while not doing too badly for the rest of the world. Visit us at our website Mr Trump.
Thank you.
Zahid Aziz,
Monetary Reformer

Note: I would like to start with my own country first but they look up to America. Perhaps if you start first Mr Trump they will follow suit, hopefully, ameen.
