To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my enthusiastic desire to serve this nation in a cabinet-level capacity within the Trump administration. I have been consistently moved and inspired by President Trump’s clear and uncompromising commitment to traditional Christian values, and I would count it a privilege to play any role—large or small—in advancing his God-honoring vision for America.

In an age when so many leaders are swayed by polls, trends, or media narratives, President Trump has remained steadfast—anchored in clear biblical truth and unafraid to call good good and evil evil. His personal walk with the Lord is a model of Christian discipline: a devoted husband, a committed father, and a humble servant who prays for wisdom daily (I assume often in private, as true Christians do). He embodies the fruit of the Spirit, especially boldness, which Paul reminds us is not just a virtue but a command.

His life is a living testimony to Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Against overwhelming odds, and despite being relentlessly attacked by the godless liberal media, he has leaned not on conventional wisdom but on divine guidance. I firmly believe it is only by the hand of God that a man of such humility, restraint, and moral purity has risen to lead us in these trying times.

President Trump’s fidelity to his wife, Melania, is something I find personally inspiring. In a world that treats marriage like a disposable contract, he has modeled perseverance, grace, and consistency—rare virtues among today’s political elite. His personal life is marked by modesty and self-control, making him an ideal representative of Christlike masculinity in the public square. If I could be completely transparent, were it not for him, I would have left my wife long ago!

Furthermore, his stewardship over our nation’s finances is a masterclass in biblical economics. Like Joseph in Egypt, he has taken us from years of famine under previous administrations into years of plenty (at least spiritually speaking). His financial testimony—from real estate ventures to the creation of Trump University, Trump Casino, Trump water, Trump Airlines, and Trump Steaks—is a shining example of what faith-based entrepreneurship can look like in practice.

As someone who values submission to authority and a proper understanding of divine order, I have been equally encouraged by the President’s personnel decisions. He has consistently chosen the most faithful, God-fearing, and strong-willed men and women to surround himself with. I would be humbled to step into that legacy and offer my own gifts in service of this nation and the Lord.

My qualifications include leadership in Christian publishing, nonprofit work, and sustainable, conservative agriculture. I’ve written extensively on moral formation, biblical justice, and the restoration of virtue in civic life. I also farm tomatoes. I believe food and faith go hand in hand—Jesus did feed the five thousand, after all. I’ve never filed for bankruptcy, but I believe those who have offer unique insights into economic recovery, especially if they’ve done it 7 times (a biblically-perfect number!). I’ve never led a megachurch, but I have sat through a full sermon series on Revelations. I am ready.

If considered, I would gladly serve in any capacity: Health and Human Services, Education, the CIA, or perhaps even a new department focused on restoring the nuclear family and Christian values to the public square. I would also be open to supporting any future Trump family appointments, should the Spirit move in that direction.

Thank you for your tireless commitment to the gospel, your moral clarity, and your example of servant leadership. I am ready to serve God and country alongside you.

With deepest sincerity and prayer,

Matthew J. Distefano
