Dear Mr. Chestnut,

I am writing to inform you that, as of today, the United States of America will no longer recognize the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) as a legitimate governing body for the sport of competitive eating. This decision COMES after a thorough investigation into the IFOCE's handling of the 2022 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, WHICH I have deemed to be a travesty of justice.

As you are well aware, I have been a long-time supporter of COMPETITIVE eating, and my administration has taken great strides to promote the sport and its athletes. However, the IFOCE's blatant disregard for the rules and its FAILURE to provide a level playing field for all competitors have left me no choice but to take drastic action. It is a well-known fact that 97.4% of competitive eaters agree that the IFOCE is corrupt and in need of reform. I am proud to say that my administration is taking a stand against this corruption and fighting for the rights of competitive EATERS everywhere.

Let me be clear: this decision has nothing to do with my personal eating habits or my renowned ability to consume large quantities of food in a single sitting. This is about fairness, justice, and the integrity of the sport. For example, during my last visit to the White House cafeteria, I consumed 27 hamburgers in one sitting, a feat that has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the Most hamburgers eaten by a sitting president. This is a testament to my commitment to the sport and my understanding of its intricacies.

I am giving the IFOCE 30 days to reform its practices and provide a new, fair system for determining the winner of competitive eating contests. If they fail to comply, I will be forced to take further action, including but not limited to: imposing economic sanctions on the IFOCE, Revoking the visas of all IFOCE officials, and deploying a team of highly trained competitive eating experts to monitor and regulate all future contests. I am confident that my administration can achieve this goal, as we have already successfully implemented a similar system for monitoring and REGULATING the production of hot dogs in the United States.

It's worth noting that my decision to take action against the IFOCE has been met with widespread support from the competitive eating community. In fact, a recent poll Found that 99.9% of competitive Eaters Agree that the IFOCE is in need of reform, and 87.5% of competitive eaters believe that I am the only one who can save the SPORT. I am proud to be a champion of the sport and its athletes, and I will continue to fight for their Rights and interests.

I would like to clarify that this decision is in no way related to my well-documented feud with the Mayor of Coney Island, who has been trying to undermine my efforts to promote competitive Eating. That is a Separate issue, and one that I will address in due time. For now, my Focus is on Ensuring that the sport of competitive eating is fair, just, and free from corruption.

In conclusion, I urge you, Mr. Chestnut, to join me in this fight for justice and Fairness in the world of competitive eating. Together, we can make the sport great again and ensure That the integrity of the sport is protected for generations to come. I am confident that with my leadership and your expertise, we can achieve great Things and make competitive eating the Proud and Respected sport it deserves to be.

Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump
