I've been told by many, and I agree, this election season has given us the worst hangover without all the fun of over-indulging. Yes, we all knew the blue wave was going to be a slow process. I appreciate the states that are being meticulous at counting votes. Because as we've been told by the sitting president, he was planning a court battle.
Let me be clear, Thursday night's press conference by this soon to be ex-president, in the briefing room of the white house, broke all kinds of norms, decency, and even the truth as anyone has ever witnessed. I was grateful when the networks took it upon themselves and ended it swiftly and without fanfare. I was able to watch Jeopardy in its entirety, like a normal day in the life of an American citizen.
I enjoyed the commentary though. As Anderson Cooper describes it, "Like watching an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun." Could not have said it any better. Most of the news media watched in horror, not understanding why his staff allowed for such an outrageous speech. We can only imagine the battle it took to keep him from doing this every hour since November 3rd.
It has become apparent there is a winner and it is not Donald J. Trump. The next question that must be answered is, will he walk away and leave this country to heal itself? I don't want to play devil's advocate again, but the signs all show he is going to battle this loss to the bitter end, take a few innocent people down with him and then blame it on anyone but himself for his loss.
Yes, I know you have heard that from many people over the past year. It isn't easy to hear nor is it what a sitting president should do or act like. Can you imagine if Bush Sr., the last one-term president decided to fight for his job knowing he was voted out by the people he was working for? If I can describe it as a reality television example, it is akin to Sean Spicer refusing to leave "Dancing with the Stars" when he was clearly voted off because the man can't and should not dance. Let alone be considered a star.
Can we please go back to the life of an adult president that doesn't use social media as a teenager? Hires responsible, capable men and women in his cabinet to do their jobs for the American people, not for the reality television person in the oval office. I think about the eight years of Obama and remember that daily news was not some divisive tweet that enraged many and scared most. There were no family issues, tell-all books being printed over and over about the incompetence like this sitting president's term.
I know Mr. Trump and the little Trumps are all scared because they know, once Daddy leaves the building the law will pick them up, and not only will their Daddy's hair be orange, but so will all their suits. Maybe he can get the FOX network to do a reality television show of his time behind bars.
