President Trump, do the unexpected!

LET’S IMPROVE HUMAN RIGHTS. Let's imagine President Trump holding a press conference reading the following proclamation.

My fellow Americans:

As you know, I’m not concerned about being politically correct, because being “politically correct” is a major reason why our country continues to languish in the failures of our past, and in particular, our dismal history of human rights: genocide and incarceration of Native Americans, slavery and ongoing incarceration of Black people, incarceration and discrimination of Latinos, discrimination and internment of Asians, and discrimination and sexist treatment of women and alternative lifestyles.

Despite being founded on principles of democracy, nevertheless, our country continues to treat women, Native Americans, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians and others inequitably – and based on the wage and income gap between Whites and minorities, for most it’s getting worse. Even poor White people have extreme difficulty prospering in this country. Here’s how I will aggressively work to eliminate sex and race-based inequities as President of the United States. Simply put, I’m establishing the following cabinet level positions, to be chaired by the Secretary of Human Rights, with each position required to strategically and tangibly improve the political, economic, and educational status of their respective charge:

Secretary of Human Rights, Chair
Secretary of Women’s Rights
Secretary of Black Rights
Secretary of Latino Rights
Secretary of Native American Rights
Secretary of Asian Rights
Secretary of Rights for the Poor
Secretary of Rights for the Disabled
Secretary of LGBTQIBPP

Most importantly, I will not create a bureaucracy around these positions; we already have the bureaucracies – but no results. Second, these positions will be funded through attrition from existing vacancies. Consistent with how I run my businesses, all incumbents in these cabinet level positions will have clearly defined essential job functions, clearly defined job standards, and clearly defined strategic business unit objectives that they must accomplish. We can no longer tolerate the “business as usual” protocols of the past. I will demand improvements from each Secretary for each year of my presidency or they will be fired. If you’re running a private sector Fortune 500 company or a public sector employer with token women and minorities in only a few management level positions, be warned, we know who you are, and so does anyone who takes time to review your EEO-1 or EEO-4 or 5. We’re coming for you! We will make America GREAT!

God Bless the United States of America
President Donald Trump

 

Frankly, no previous POTUS had the balls to do the aforementioned, nor would wannabe-prez Hillary Clinton, but President Trump is enough of a maverick to at least consider doing something different, because all previous and current tactics to establish equality HAVE NOT WORKED. "Freedom and liberty for all" must be more than only a pipe dream; so President Trump you're hereby challenged to aggressively use the ferver of the executive branch to HOLD AMERICA ACCOUNTABLE. It's not enough to make America great. More importantly, your action in this regard would truly make America greater than it has ever been!

I welcome your feedback.
