Why so many Americans support Donald Trump is beyond comprehension. I must confess that I am a DINO who bought wholeheartedly into the slogan to “Make America Great Again” in both 2016 and 2020. But Jan. 6 has caused me to do a 180-degree turnaround. Are the American people just ignorant about the Constitution (one of the oldest forms of continuous government in modern history) or are they just willing to circumvent the Constitution as Trump attempted to do?
There is hypocrisy in the fact that the very Constitution that put Trump into the presidency in 2016 (remember Hillary Clinton won the popular vote) he attempted to overthrow in 2020 because he failed to generate the popular vote that would have given him the electoral vote and a second term in the White House.
Law-respecting citizens of the United States can thank God for providing this country with the likes of Mike Pence, Bill Barr, Pat Toomey, the Georgia secretary of state, et al., for not capitulating to Trump’s requests. Trump then proceeded to challenge voting results via the courts and lost virtually all of his challenges.
Are there no moral principles left in the United States that so many people are so willing to support a person for the presidency who has been thrice married, twice divorced and paid hush money to a porn star and God only knows how many others?
If that is the type of person the American people want as their president, then may God show his mercy on the future of this country!
