Announcing my Desire to Run for President of the United States

I’ve watched for my entire adult life the progressing ‘vanity operation’ that is the American Presidency…and think it time for substance over artificial tanning.

Therefore, I am announcing a desire to run for President of the United States.

First, to aid all the dirt mongers, trollers, and folks of bad character, I list the following as assistance in your investigations of things that might be used to demean:

1. I was an anxious child, so was not a good hitter in Little League (I was, to my credit, excellent in the field).
2. I did an extremely bad job as President of my high school honor society.
3. In the last month of my senior year in college I copied the lab data of one of my friends for an engineering report.
4. I was a conscientious objector to the military and served three years as a surgical technician rather than as a combatant.
5. I, during my twenties, had three years of psychoanalysis at the Pritzker Hospital at the University of Chicago.
6. During the last couple years of my marriage I was an irascible and bad husband.
7. I was once arrested at an airport when a TSA accused me of ‘throwing’ a bag of cancer medication at them (I tossed it on the conveyor and it slid off and accidentally hit their leg).
8. I was once accused by a bank of kiting checks (it was in the 80s and as I remember it was a couple checks for $100 ….you would need to talk to the bank…although they, like many banks, are no longer in existence).
9. I occasionally get angry and curse.
10. A female companion in 2016/17 asked for a restraining order saying she ‘feared for her life’ (you need to ask her …I have no idea…at the time she did it we had not seen one another in months).

My worst offense, by far, is that I have little interest in accruing money. I believe money is to use responsibly for societal good…so try to minimize what I personally use (and even then think I take too much). My tax filings, therefore, show minimal income.

I feel certain, given the current political atmosphere, you can find something else…although the list is thorough from my memory.

Also, I never saw myself running for President, so would undoubtedly have done a better job as President of my high school honor society.

I am serious about my desire.

I think my character is sterling. At the least, I could return integrity and moral responsibility to the Office of President….and disconnect the Office from the influence of money.

My platform…. transition America from a nation built far to often on slavery and cheap labor to a nation that educates everyone on new forms of free enterprise that are skill based, promote shared ownership, create broad wealth, and respect the earth and the earth’s creatures.
