No, to the contrary. Americans have never been more divided--in my life at least--since you began your campaign for the presidency. I believe you are a large cause of this, though not the only cause, and that the only way we can heal is with you gone.
In fact, evidence for this is in this Tweet. Instead of taking your responsibility seriously and attempting to calm over-hysterical Americans and bring them together, you're using words like "civil war," which verges on incitement to violence. Does a real man do that? No.
And *certainly* a president doesn't.

When you're out of that office, I'm sure we'll do much better. We do not hate each other and have no cause to hate each other. We have political divisions, which is normal in a democracy. But you're encouraging us to hate each other.
You are not solely responsible for your election--a great deal had to be wrong for that to happen. But your presence in that office is now a massive obstacle to fixing what's wrong and returning to some kind of national emotional and political calm.
So don't worry: removing you won't lead to Civil War. It will lead to better times. You're anything but indispensable.

Thanks for your concern, though.
A final thought. Thank you, Mr. President. You showed us all that some of our citizens were really in trouble, and we had indeed been in such an elite bubble that we hadn't noticed. And you also taught us a lot of hard truths about human nature. Painful ones--
But it's always better to know the truth. You kept us wildly entertained, and I believe that you're one of the most authentically American personalities ever to have lived. You'll always be a legend. We'll never forget you. Historians will never forget you.
People will write books and make movies about you forever. Everyone who lived through your presidency will tell their grandchildren about it. You made us all think very hard about what "being American" means. You exposed us all to parts of ourselves we needed to see.
Thank you for all of that.

In your way, you are a genius, I concede. And you didn't get us into a nuclear war on your first day in office--nor any war. Nor did you tank the economy.
Everyone who said you would, including me, was wrong.

But it's best you go now, while we can all have awestruck memories of you--and before you do manage to tank the economy and get us into a war--because your job's done.

Thank you, Mr. President.
