People, not money, should elect leaders

Dear Mr. Trump, It is pathetic that millions and even now going on billions of dollars decide who is going to be a president of the most powerful country in the world.

Not the billions, but people should decide who is going to be next president.

It is absolutely pathetic that to become a politician and specifically a president, a person has to have billions of dollars, for what? The person should have people's trust and be elected by people, but lately billions decide who will be a president.

It was not like that a long time ago, not to this extent, in my opinion. Now, the extremely wealthy have found their way to get their things done. People don't count any more. Therefore, whoever is going to give you these billions will be your boss.

You will be a puppet pulled by strings by the people who will give you billions, like many politicians and presidents in this country were/are.

They go through the side doors of casinos and other buildings to meet with those who later will govern them.

You should stop this nonsense, Mr. Trump, you should campaign on people's trust, not on getting billions from those who have them and then later will have their puppet at the WH to mostly do their business.
