What advice would you give him to improve his message? Make sure to explain your answer.

Explanation / Answer

I believe that criticism is a part of our life and as successful and mature individuals, each of us should be open to crticism and be able to take the same as well. Criticism actually improves the way we look at any any concept or anything from our side but the way criticism us being done is important for example in this case the criticism is done in social media which is not appropriate and the tone of the message ealong with pictures actually make the process worse because the person being criticized is the president of the nation, hence choice of words are very much important along with the application.

Criticism needs to be constructive and healthy but the way he is criticising the president is inappropriate and needs to be changed because this is ruining his image as well which is not the objective and not at all expected as well. I would suggest him to be a bit more careful while using such words and images in this context.
