What's really nice about it is the very plain and straightforward language. He doesn't couch anything in legalese. It's a letter you or I could have written, on our best day perhaps. And it's awesome.
It's why I like his speeches too. They aren't in second-hand prose which fades into background static.
At rallies he's even poked fun at this when he does his 'boring speech' riff.
I've worked in advertising, and there's clear-cut rules for english that would otherwise drive english-majors nuts. The prime being 'conversational english'. You're doing a pitch to communicate - not diagram a sentence or create a white-paper.
This is even more common in software companies (who've I've also worked for - I get around) where, in localization departments, there are guidelines for what's known as 'International english' - which is very plain-spoken and slang-free (among many other rules).
I'm hoping to see this letter in-part in future rallies.
Well said. He says what he means and means what he says.
It drives the lawyer types on the left, insane. "Why isn't he being vague and nonspecific! This isn't how a politician is supposed to sound! He needs to sound ABOVE the people, not for them, let alone WITH them!"

The closing was perfect. It's a really solid letter.
I hope we see many Presidents that are like Donald J Trump. We are truly Blessed in these United States of America.
He's certainly changed the game. Thank God.
I think you nailed it, it's just a solid letter. As ShiffsDeadHooker (love that name!) said, very plain and straightforward.
Absolutely agree. School children would be required to study and read it like they used to with the Gettysburg address from Lincoln.
But that was in the days before the woke times, the rise of the socialist teachers unions and tenured anti-American professors.
"The Pelosi Redress"
I like it!
I like your idea for a title, very catchy!
Thanks! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Because he has nothing to hide. He just wants to do a good job. Gives the finger to the political theater any time he can. And that's fucking great
