John Adams (disambiguation)
John Adams (1735–1826) was the second President of the United States (1797–1801).
John Adams had a long standing feud with political rival, Alexander Hamilton. Adams' was known to slander other political rivals, publishing in papers that they had died, like he did to Thomas Jefferson. John Adams also called Alexander Hamilton a 'creole bastard' insulting Hamilton's heritage. Hamilton was fired at the beginning of John Adam's presidency and wrote a letter slandering Adams' name in response. This letter effectively destroyed Hamilton's career.
The letter reads:
An open letter to the fat, arrogant, anticharismatic, national embarrassment, known as President John Adams. The man's irrational, he claims that he's in league with Britain in some fast international intrigue, bitch please! You wouldn't know what I'm doing you're always going berserk, you never show up to work, give my regards to Abigail next time you write about my lack of moral compass, at least I do my job up in the rumpus. The line's behind me and I crossed it again while the President's lost it again. Oh, such a rough life, better run and tell your wife that the boss is in Boston again. Let me ask you a question. Who sits at your desk while you're in Massachusetts? They were calling you a dick back in '76 and you haven't done anything new since. You nuisance. With no sense, you'll die of irrelevance. Go ahead you can call me the devil, you aspire to my level, you inspire malevolence. Say hi to the Jeffersons! And the spies all around me maybe they can confer, I don't care if you kill my career with this letter I'm confining you to one term.
Sit down John, you fat motherfuckstick!
