Dear President Donald Trump:

It is hard to believe the U.S. has changed so drastically in just two and a half months since you took office -- and I cannot be the only one to think so. You have pushed forward with the "revolution of common sense" that you vowed in your January inaugural address, sowing confusion around the world in the process.
