President Trump brought the darkest days to our country as his term in office comes to an end on January 20, 2021. And in doing so reverses the long time democratic principals that has made the Presidency the greatest office in the land. At a time of transition to a new administration, a pandemic running wild and growing, an economic recession and millions of jobs that have yet to return to the economy, citizens depending on food banks for nutrition, business operating at minimum levels and just last week the discovery that Russia is at it again with cyber attacks against federal agencies, the President is AWOL.
Instead of having a plan and answer for those issues, Trump spends his time trying to over turn an election he lost big time simply because it was a free democratic election. His lies and misinformation about the election being rigged and being a fraud and his misuse of the courts to challenge the results has consumed all his time. As an American President who swears to uphold the rule of law and the constitution failed his duty to do so and inflicted damage to the country's democratic institutions.
Trump's willingness to obstruct the orderly transfer of power to a new administration and his attempt to make it difficult for the new administration to operate is more than a traitorous act. In denying the transition timely access to critical information simply to damage the new President-elect is deplorable and a disgrace to the Presidency.
America has suffered over 300,000 deaths from the virus pandemic and at its darkest time of spreading in Trump's final months in office, the President has turned his back, looked away and devoted his time to try and undermine and overturn a democratic Presidential election just because his bid for a second term was rejected. No living American can remember such a disaster and ending of a Presidency or a President who cared so little for his fellow man, his country, the Presidency and the constitution of American freedom.
What a shame, 46% of the voting public gave Trump a chance to be an American President during the 2016 election. But instead, he decided to bring his corrupt business persona to Washington and ended up failing his country and its people and violating his oath of office. The Trump Presidency was one of total corruption from beginning to end and the darkest part of it came as his time to depart the White House is at hand. The only thing left is his pardoning of his close friends who committed crimes that were confirmed in a court of law. The corruption is to its core as this writer has said on many previous occasions.
