I seek the Presidency not because it offers me a chance to be somebody but because it offers a chance to do something.

Two Days and Counting: America’s Unravelling—A Call to Action Amid Disaster
Mr. President, the Supreme Court has handed you the authority to avert a disaster of historic proportions, and yet, here we are—counting down to catastrophe.
It is a disgrace that Pam Bondi, poised to become our next Attorney General, could not even acknowledge Donald Trump’s loss to President Biden. This is the same party cowering under the specter of Trump’s retribution.
What are we witnessing here?
A political movement? A cult? The Mafia?
Has America forgotten the chaos of four years under Russian influence? Brace yourselves: the next administration, operating under South African management, promises an even darker horizon.
Take House Speaker Mike Johnson, for example, who is now pushing “conditions” on California for receiving emergency funds to combat devastating wildfires.
Let’s be clear—mistakes may have been made by Democrats, but the gravest error transcends party lines: an abject failure to treat climate chaos as the existential global crisis it is. This isn’t about blue states versus red states; it’s about survival.
While scientists offer practical solutions—reducing fuel for wildfires, instituting resilient land use policies, and rebuilding communities with fire-resistant materials—where is Mr. Johnson’s call for similar conditions in red states?
Where is his moral outrage over regions clinging to outdated, dangerous practices simply because they align with Republican orthodoxy?
Johnson’s punitive approach to Los Angeles reeks of political opportunism: weaponizing disaster relief against Democratic constituencies. Is this the America we want?
A nation where lifesaving aid is doled out based on how its victims voted?
Climate change knows no borders, no party lines. A 100-mile-per-hour wildfire will incinerate homes, schools, and hospitals without regard for political allegiance.
The only way forward is to eliminate flammable materials entirely—mandatory fire-resistant housing and low-vegetation landscaping. Yet, such measures cannot be voluntary.
If California is to rise from the ashes, regulations must be uncompromising: no exceptions, no shortcuts.
But let’s not stop there. America’s retreat from global responsibility is setting the stage for something even more sinister.
Trump’s impending withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord signals a second abdication of our role as stewards of the planet. The frightening clarity with which Trump’s base embraces this decision reveals a stark truth: for many Americans, global responsibility is a burden they refuse to bear.
Why should they, they ask, make sacrifices so others may thrive, especially when they feel their own lives are in decline?
This inward turn will define the legacy of America’s 47th president.
The once-benevolent hegemon is mutating into a self-serving empire, dismantling the rule-based, values-oriented global order in its wake.
The message to the world is chilling: America first, at all costs—even if that means leaving the planet to burn.
It’s time to stop pretending this is about politics. It’s about survival. If we continue to play games with disasters—be they natural, political, or climate-induced—the endgame will not discriminate.
All that will remain is ash, regret, and the haunting question: why didn’t we act when we still had the chance?
Sincerely,
Adaptation-Guide
WE ARE READY! ARE YOU?
