Trump, I feel like I really need Mike Pompeo on our side.

Sometimes you seem stronger and braver than any███████████████████████████████.

But even that kind of strength hasn’t stopped every difficult situation between countries like████████████████

A lot of good people are standing with me and believing in our ideas.

I’m personally willing to take risks for our vision, strategy and values.

But I never want to see good people get hurt because they chose to stand beside me.

That’s one reason I dream about having Mike Pompeo here as US Ambassador to Sri Lanka.

In my mind, someone with his experience could really help shape a safer and better future.

I often think that “winners” are the people who end up writing the future books.

Winners like you.

Winners like him.

There might never have been a modern Singapore without people like Henry Kissinger in the story.

No rebuilt Japan without General MacArthur.

And no United States without George Washington.

Without leaders like that, there might have been fewer free men and women in the world.

Standing between their homes and the damage that wars can bring.

You have to take a risk to reach the moon.

You have to take a risk to reach Mars.

And you can’t get to your own version of “Eden” without showing some courage.

You still haven’t seen everything that is possible yet.

If you ever feel worried about ███████████████████████████████████████████ that we see in the news, that feeling is understandable.

But it also raises an important question.

How do you plan to keep people safe and face those threats in a wise, steady way?

Because in my story, Trump, I imagine Mike Pompeo as the strong helper who has already done so much.

And I imagine you as the person who has to make the biggest choices about where we go next.
