Opinion writer for The Washington Post Dana Milbank became concerned for his seventh-grade daughter after Donald Trump was announced as president and sat down to write her a consoling letter to tell her everything would be okay.

Like many liberals and their children, Milbank and his daughter expected to celebrate the first female president on Tuesday. But as he watched the results away from home, his only choice was to comfort his daughter via text messages to reassure her that her world was not about to come apart.

Later, he would write an official letter, and he published it in his daily column. It reads in part:

My wonderful daughter,

This is a sad day for our country. I want you to know that I did everything I could to prevent this from happening. My efforts and those of many others came up short.

I’ve written about the dreadful things Trump said and did during the campaign, and about the still more terrible things he could do if elected. I won’t lie: I am deeply worried for the nation.

But I am writing because I want you to keep those fears in perspective. We will be fine. Your daily life won’t change. You’ll go to school, go to parties with friends, enjoy the same activities and come home to a loving family. Next week, we’ll celebrate your bat mitzvah.

Milbank goes on to tell his daughter that America will remain “a safe place for immigrants, black people, Latinos, Muslims, Jews, gays and lesbians” and a place where women will be “treated fairly.”

Here’s how he knows everything is going to be "okay":

Seventy percent of voters, including 29 percent of Trump voters, were bothered by his treatment of women.

Sixty-three percent, including 20 percent of Trump voters, said he doesn’t have the temperament to be president.

Sixty-three percent, including 21 percent of his own voters, said he’s not honest and trustworthy.

Fifty-seven percent, including 14 percent of his own voters, said they would have a negative view of Trump’s victory.

Most Americans don’t want a border wall, and only 25 percent of voters want him to deport illegal immigrants. They don’t support ending Obamacare or free trade.

Milbank believes that “Republicans of conscience” will step in “to temper [Trump’s] worst instincts.” 

“But if he doesn’t, if he governs as recklessly and as divisively as he campaigned, there will be checks on his power,” Milbank continues. “Stock markets will crash and a recession will come if he gets us into trade wars. If he doesn’t change his views about foreign policy, he’ll get no support from allies.”

It wasn't expected, but at least he tells his daughter that America is the greatest country on Earth and not to worry that one day a woman will be president, that is, a woman who is worthy to hold the office.

Writing a letter to distraught daughters must be the latest trend among liberals. West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin penned a similar letter, but his was strikingly different in tone telling his daughters to “f***ing fight” in the post-apocalyptic Trump universe.

A nation of snowflakes we’ve become.
