Our local community newspaper published my editorial.
So, you voted for an assholeIt was a slight majority of voters nationally (49.8%) who lifted Donald J. Trump to a second term as President of the United States. Regrettably, Trump voters were convinced he was the better choice despite the daily turmoil and mismanagement of his first term in office. Donald Trump’s political success has been based on degrading everyone who opposes him and elevating himself as the savior. The truth of the matter is his success is part of the “art of the con.” To the extent you could call it success, his life story is based on deceit and treachery. He stiffed students who fell for his snake oil promises at Trump University, reneged on paying small contractors who worked on his failed casinos and left a trail of unpaid campaign debt with cities that hosted his rallies. He defrauded New York on his taxes, assaulted women, and defamed person-after-person. This is the person many of you voted for as president. You knew better and still voted for a man whose has no business in the White House or any position of power. He should be in a federal or state penitentiary instead of behind the famous Resolute desk.
