Donald Trump loves America? Why did he hold America hostage with failed lawsuits as he tries to overturn his election defeat with lies about a rigged election? I believe the rigged election was in 2016, and Trump won then with the help of Russia, WikiLeaks and emails. And he still lost the popular vote by nearly 4 million.

He couldn’t win the popular vote this time, either. I truly can’t believe he received as many votes as he did in this election. In my eyes, he isn’t worth any.

When I saw a photo of Trump wrapped in an American flag a couple years ago, it made me sick to my stomach. It was a desecration of our proud flag. This from a man who shamed America in front of the whole world and divided the country to the verge of civil war; who avoided the Vietnam war and yet slammed patriot and former prisoner of war Sen. John McCain; who lied about and denied the pandemic. His Republican Senate and party have proven to be spineless as they support and enable him. Yes, he loves America.

In my opinion, he wanted to turn the U.S. presidency and political system into his own Trump empire with Trump rule for years to come. Hopefully, Americans will never fall for that.

There’s a long list of reasons why Trump lost this election, and that list is all on him. He lost this election fairly and squarely.
