Pat Boone is the 92 year old legendary pop singer.

He’s also a famous conservative, who back Nixon and Reagan. He was very good friends with the latter.

Now Pat, whose hits included Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti,” has advice for Donald Trump: Shut up. For Boone to say this, it’s huge. He represents the Trump base: white, Christian, and loyal to the core. He would never had said these words to Nixon or Reagan.

Good for Pat Boone!

Boone posted this startling message:

“I’ve known and supported President Trump for many years, and I offer these thoughts in the spirit of friendship and concern.

“Sometimes the strongest thing a leader can do is say less, listen more, and let his actions speak for themselves. I’m praying for our President, as I hope all Americans will, and I’m asking him to remember the example of Ronald Reagan: humor, courtesy, respect, and a presidential manner even in difficult times.

“Mr. President, I say this as a friend. For just a little while, try being quiet. You may be surprised how loudly that silence speaks.

-Pat
