Dear President Donald Trump.
What is your education, training, understanding and practical experience in managing and
leading the People in a business and the People of a Nation? Please think about this and
before you respond.
1. A Vision and a Mission to achieve the Vision.
2. An Operations including Organisation & Methods Plan to achieve the Mission.
3. Garbage In Garbage Out Prevention Plan
4. Resources identification including IT, and acquisition Plans for capturing, accounting,
reporting and management of-
a. strategic and statistical data for successful O&M and Operations Plans.
b. financial data for true and fair Operation Plan, Mission and Vision reporting to
Management and Stakeholders.
5. As the Leader the successful delivery of the above, achieving the Vision consistent with
the expectations of the Stakeholders.
Critical to the above is the Marketing based on BRAND MARKETING of the Business/Nation,
its products and services with Personalisation and Perception of Value. Also, a national and
international competitive Volume/Cost/Price MIX and Export Cost INDEX. Please see my
letter of the 14 May 2025. The Business/Nation must have a Strategic context in its industry
or the World.
My qualifications and capability in achieving the above over 69 years includes as a-
1. Chartered Accountant Auditor.
2. Company Secretary, Finance/IT Executive and later MD of a National and International
marketing, sales and manufacturing ASX listed Group of Companies.
3. Management Accounting and Reporting to the National and International Executive of a
coal mining, transport and exporting foreign owned and operated Joint Venture.
4. CFO of a State Bank for industrial development and expansion to fund the State
Economy.
5. Contract Financial Consultant to businesses including ASX listed, in financial trouble.
6. Contract Project Manager to State Government for the implementation of a New Tax
System including the 10% GST and enforcement of compliance.
7. Owner/operator in the Tourism Industry Nation and International,
8. Owner/operator in the Beef Cattle breeding and marketing industry.
The most valuable lesson in life I learnt as a CA Auditor was that all success in life is an
outcome of your relationships which are an outcome of Open and Honest Communications
which guided me for my working life and beyond as an ethical and moral obligation to caring
and sharing.
With my eyes and mind open I monitored your response to (1) to (5) above during your 1st
Presidency, this pre and post your election and post inauguration and have come to the
unqualified conclusion concerning your conduct, performance and personal relationships.
Also, that of your Team of advisors to the extent of my limited knowledge of each of them.
1. I see you as the office tea boy with control of the petty cash of a Nation which is not
nationally and internationally economically and financially competitive crippled in DEBT of
$US36+Billion and escalating. You are not a numbers person and do not have a strategic
context of the World in particular of China and BRICS. Accordingly, you are not respected
and trusted to keep your world with other World Leaders. Your decisions including DOGE,
Tariffs and Deals with other Leaders are Petty Cash in the context of the above and
cannot MAGA.
2. Your advisors say what they think you want to hear, except for Robert F Kennedy Jr. and
Elon Musk subject to the brief you give him.
Only LIBERTY TAX can MAGA. Please see https://2percent-liberty-tax.com
