I’ve known and supported President Trump for many years, and I offer these thoughts in the spirit of friendship and concern.

Sometimes the strongest thing a leader can do is say less, listen more, and let his actions speak for themselves. I’m praying for our President, as I hope all Americans will, and I’m asking him to remember the example of Ronald Reagan: humor, courtesy, respect, and a presidential manner even in difficult times.

Mr. President, I say this as a friend. For just a little while, try being quiet. You may be surprised how loudly that silence speaks.
