Make the Presidency Great Again!

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: January 28, 2017

A message to the new Commander in Chief…

Make the Presidency great again!
Admit you're wrong. Confess your sin!
Resist the urge to tweet your thoughts.
Respect what others feel.

Refuse to let your ego reign.
Run after peace instead of fame.
Walk in another's moccasins
before you take a stand.

Reserve the right to change your mind.
Before you speak or act unkind,
try asking "what would Jesus do?"
Then listen with your heart.

Deny yourself. Put others first.
Don't give us cause to think the worst.
Demeaning others isn't cool.
Your mother taught you that.

The Presidency deserves your best.
So what may be your greatest test
is reigning in your inner child
and making him behave.

I really want you to succeed.
But for you to, you need to heed
the Golden Rule that makes you rich
regardless of your wealth.
