Letter to the editor: Biden in; time for Trump to be out

The Electoral College has spoken: Joe Biden was confirmed to be the winner of the 2020 presidential election. It’s time for his followers to rip down the Trump banners and signs and accept the Democratic process of a presidential election, just as when President Trump won in 2016.

Trump promised to run the country like he runs his business. He did. He increased our deficit by almost $8 trillion, just like he ran his companies into bankruptcy.

In my opinion, he continues to cheat the American people as he refuses to concede the election. I think he needs your donations to line his pockets, so keep donating to him. A former White House aide said Trump called his supporters “disgusting people” — if that’s how you want to be categorized, that’s great.

Trump lied about the pandemic and said reaction to it was a hoax, and now over 352,000 Americans have died; you all believed him. It’s time to put on your big boy and big girl pants on and suck it up, Buttercup. He lost.

We also would like to get our American flag back; it has been desecrated for the past four years. A lot of great men and women have fought and died in wars for our democracy. Maybe it’s time to pick up the Constitution and learn the true meaning of democracy.
