Mr. President, Pack Your Bags and Be Gone. Trump wants to preserve, protect and defend only himself.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/13/opinion/donald-trump-election-democracy.html?action=click&algo=top_conversion&block=trending_recirc&fellback=false&imp_id=452686880&impression_id=a9dbd4a5-272d-11eb-a110-6bef961ab487&index=6&pgtype=Article&region=footer&req_id=255305372&surface=most-popular

The ruler broods, alone with his rage and shame, undone by rejection, his mind, like Macbeth’s, “full of scorpions,” plotting to overturn facts and destroy American democracy. His lackeys, and only they remain, try to humor the master in his labyrinth.

Donald Trump, departing president, lost in an election that a division of the Department of Homeland Security has now called “the most secure in American history,” with no “evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised.”

Mr. President, get the boxes, get the tape, pack your bags and be gone.

He can’t. He won’t. It’s not in the man. Truth is unbearable. Fraud! Rigged! Trump can no more accept defeat than recall the fact that he took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

His only vow is to preserve, protect and defend himself. He has never been able to see beyond that orange face in the mirror. No Bible offers consolation to this man, no creed, no truth, no sense of decency, not even Fox News now, nothing.

If he cared about the party he would be concentrating on Georgia instead of obsessing about the presidential election.

(1) Things Donnie cares about: and (2) Things Donnie doesn't care about.

I'll do the first one - it's much easier!

(1) THINGS DONNIE CARES ABOUT
1. Himself

There - I finished it!


(Anybody else can do the second list - I don't have that much time OR computer memory.......)
