 Aloha. Thanks for your consideration of the views expressed in this ThinkTech commentary, which we are calling, what to say to Donald Trump on that midnight call. In view of the way Trump has shamelessly undermined the immigration bill, here's some advice to the members of Congress. When Trump calls you to ask that you vote for, or against a given bill, you should have your playbook ready. When he asks you to vote for, or against that bill, ask him to explain the policy reasons behind his request, and how the vote he is asking for will help the country. If you don't think his request will help the country, tell him that you're not going to be able to do what he wants, and that he has a lot of nerve asking. When he says that he will primary you, unless you follow his instructions, tell him you work for the country, and not him. You can also tell him that his request is unpersuasive, and that his call is inappropriate. When he says or implies that he will get his bays to protest in front of your house, to swat you, or to provoke a violent attack, or hurt you in some other way, tell him you feel he is intimidating and threatening you, and that you will seek counsel and report the matter to the authorities and the media. Make a record of the call, if not by a recording, then by a contemporaneous memo. And keep that in hand, it might be very helpful when you report what happened. The next morning, call your colleagues, as many as you can, and ask them to meet with you in a given office or conference room in the capital to discuss the call and your response. At that meeting, tell them what happened, and ask them if they've received similar calls. Tell them you will be seeking counsel and reporting these events. See if they would like to join you. Yes, all this is a matter of courage and of character. As Benjamin Franklin said, in dealing with tyrants, it's better to hang together than separately, and that's absolutely true. Thanks for your consideration of the views expressed in this ThinkTech commentary, which we are calling, What to Say to Donald Trump on that Midnight Call. Aloha.
