Dear Kamala Harris …

Your Excellency,

This is to inform you that President Joe Biden, while boarding the Air Force One, fell down thrice. One can understand that it’s age related and could happen to any person of any age. However, one can not help but sympathize with the President that he, even at this advanced age, took up this difficult task of US presidency to guide our country through this dark period in our history where we’re facing the twin menace of COVID-19 and TRUMP-45.

But, mind you, Madam Vice President, Joe Biden is not the President of the United States; he is much more than that – he is the Leader of the Free World.

To save the freedom of our giant corporations from the likes of Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping requires a lot of stamina and a great deal of courage which President Biden and his cabinet members are exhibiting amply. This has forced the President to ignore the mess his own people are in. There is a good reason for that: For a long time, US presidents have believed that if they control the world, US being part of the world, will automatically come under their control.

Things don’t always work like that; sometimes domestic troubles, divisions, differences are so many and so severe that it becomes beyond any president’s power to manage. However, who are we, the commoners, to question the intelligence of the President?

The Chinese had the temerity to remind the US of who is responsible for creating chaos and instability around the world. The senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jeichi responded to the US delegation in Alaska:

“We do not believe in invading through the use of force, or to topple other regimes through various means, or to massacre the people of other countries, because all of those would only cause turmoil and instability in this world.”

We should not get into what truths other leaders say about the US. We, the commoners should stay loyal to our President.

President Biden had a premonition in December that sooner or later he’ll have to retire due to the health issues when he called you “President-elect Harris.” This Thursday he called you “President Harris.” Madam Vice President, you have called yourself Commander-in-Chief, which everyone knows is the position of the President. Even a commoner had a forewarning several months ago that if Joe Biden becomes the president, he won’t be able to finish it, most probably.

So Your Excellency, stay prepared at a moments notice to take over the position of the strongest man – sorry, woman – in the world. Everyone knows, we don’t have to tell you anything because you have anticipated this since August 2020.

Your Excellency, use the means and ways you have used in the past when you become the president which, the way the President seems to be deteriorating, may not be too long.
