Letter to the editor: Reality lesson for Trump and followers

Attention, Donald Trump and your band of followers: time for a lesson in reality.

Reality is defined as fact, truth and authenticity. Unfortunately, there has been a loss of touch with reality, with people living in an altered world filled with misconceptions and misinterpretation. Embedded in their misguided thinking is the proven false narrative that Trump’s presidential “win” was stolen. By whom?

Trump exists in his own universe, and he is the central figure. He is the supreme ruler, and can do no wrong (so he thinks). His subjects are mesmerized by his words and deeds. Loyalty will be rewarded, and disloyalty met with consequences.

Being a business tycoon, savvy and shrewd, prepared Trump for his role as president. He proceeded to exercise business tactics, as he viewed the office of the president as a business. Since he is the center of his universe, Trump most likely would have difficulty in accepting the reality that his priority was to the citizens of the United States of America — unite, not divide. If division was a goal for him, he succeeded.
