The Illegitimate President
On Friday, former President Jimmy Carter said, “yes” when asked if he thinks that Donald Trump is an “illegitimate president.” Trump’s response, “Look, he was a nice man. He was a terrible president.” Carter makes a fair point. Trump lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes. Russia interfered to an unknown extent in the 2016 election. We really have no idea who actually won. Illegitimate seems like a fair choice of words. Trump’s response to JC? Carter was a terrible president. No matter that point being completely subjective and unrelated to the point at hand. Trump routinely takes barbs at anyone who speaks truth about him It’s the same script. Every time. Meryl Streep was “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood”. The judge from Hawaii who blocked Trump’s travel ban, became a “so-called judge” per Trump. Of John McCain, prisoner of war, our draft-dogding president said, “I don’t like losers. I like people who weren’t captured.” Yeah, fuck yourself.
