Relief Trump days nearing end
The Donald Trump unreality show appears to be drawing to a close, much to the relief, I can only assume, of all of sound mind. However, Trump has never been one to let facts or reality get in the way of his pursuit of personal
ambition, which in his case is about self-promotion, even at the expense of America, Americans and the world.
Hence we see now his refusal to accept that America has spoken and in his pursuit of legal challenges against this overwhelming repudiation of his tenure. Throughout, Trump has systematically sought to erode trust in the election process as mandated by law in the constitution and trust in the media, attempting to incite disquiet and unrest in his likewise blind support base which regardless of facts or serious issues, devotedly adores his persona seemingly unconditionally.
Media report facts. If one of those facts is words coming from Trump that are not reality, then it has always been the role of media to report that, along with the other fact that the statement has no real basis. If there is an outcry from others regarding Trump's assertions, once published or aired, then that is unsurprising. For him to claim media bias because of all this, that also is not fact and it would behove him, if he doesn't like negative publicity, to cease making outlandish claims as any rational person would. To be honest, after observing four years of his tenure, I think that may simply be beyond him.
