DT has deligitimized himself by acting as if he received a mandate, instead of losing the democratic

election to Hillary Clinton. Just because he won a rigged election (Electoral college proportional disenfranchisement of millions of Americans) he wants to ignore how the electorate voted. Instead of a moving toward a moderation of his policies, he's going ahead as if he won a landslide victory instead of losing the popular vote.

Notorious GOP toady, Scott Pelley, CBS-"News", once asked Hillary Clinton: "Have you always told the truth to the American public?".

I wonder if he will ask that of DT? A better question would be: "Have you ever made a true statement to the American public.. or to yourself?"
