Donald – Please stop with the tweets …

Yes, Jill Stein is a jerk.  Yes, her recounts are not going to change anything. Yes, Hillary chastised you in a debate for not agreeing to accept whatever outcome from the election.  Yes, Hillary’s people are now supporting Stein’s request for recounts, despite Hillary already conceding the election.

So what?

You’re on the path to being sworn in as President in January. They aren’t. 

All you have to do is keep on keepin’ on. A wonderful Arab saying to keep in mind is this:  As the caravan passes, the dogs bark. 

Right now the dogs are barking. The left-leaners in the media are desperate to keep the recent election on the front burner – not the part where they slavishly promoted Hillary as the second coming, but the continuing attack on your fitness and temperament to be President.  They are grasping at anything, anything they can use against you. 

And you appear ready to give them the ammunition with your tweets. 

There’s a time to respond to unfair stuff, but there’s also a time to STFU.  In case you haven’t gotten the message, it’s STFU time. 

Keep on filling your cabinet and going forward with the transition. Ignore the small stuff.  The press is never going to give you a fair shake no matter what you do.  So surround yourself with good, competent people and do the job without the drama. 

After all the trashing you’ve already taken from the media and political pundits, the bar for you is practically on the floor.  If you don’t start a nuclear war, set up concentration camps, or nominate David Duke for the Supreme Court, you’re pretty much home free. 

You see, that’s been the problem the left and the media have created.  In their efforts to paint you as a complete monster – the ultimate boogeyman – almost anything you do that doesn’t involve drowning puppies and kittens for fun, breaking down doors to grab up illegal immigrants, legalizing rape, and restoring slavery will be anti-climactic.

You have a golden opportunity.  If you act even moderately responsible, if you stop losing it over every little affront, if you just tone it down a tad, you’ll look like a champ. When our media has been telling everyone you’ll be a dictator, with racist and sexist tendencies, and it turns out you actually aren’t they won’t ever admit they were wrong, but the public will know.   

The public – not the media – elected you. Don’t ever forget that.

Will the media eventually warm up to you? Nope. Will the Eurocrats stop looking down their collective noses at you? Nope again.  But that doesn’t mean you need to feed them.

You won because people wanted change. You won by bypassing the media, the major parties, and the political establishment to talk directly to the public. 

Once you’re inaugurated you’ll have more opportunities to address the public directly again, but as President of the most powerful nation on Earth.

Then you can propose a national identity card which will solve most of the issues associated with illegal immigration, voter fraud, and entitlements fraud in one fell swoop.

Be cool, Donald. You’re almost there
