Sore Loser
With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call.
The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration.
The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came.
It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats.
None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen.
In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.
Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar.
Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.
@Mike_Cassidy_MS @BidensWins Everyone knows that!!! It’s also bad to tell another human being what they can and can’t do with their body. Remarkable that pro-lifers have to hear that.
@SanyaRichiRoss Where you at, girl? Watching the Trials and I don’t hear your signature Jamaican-southern flair! 🤷🏾♀️😢❤️ I mean @AtoBoldon is aiiiiight, but…😂 Kidding!!! He’s great, but as a duo, chef’s 💋!!!
@AtoBoldon Go to the tape. Watch the Women’s 100–Heat 2, 2nd attempt. Jadyn Mays has a Rafa Nadal-esque routine before “set.” 😳 She was the reason the ref asked them to stand up. SHE DIDN’T SET!!! Almost like she didn’t hear “Set?” Very odd. Hope she gets it together! 🙏🏾❤️🤍💙
@Nic_Fink@USASwimming@TYRSport CONGRATS!!! You don’t know me but I worked at Pingry from 2001-2005 AND I’m originally from Atlanta (Go Dawgs!). Thanks to Ms. Chatterji and Mr. Droste, I have been following you since then. Soooo proud, Nic! Good luck in Paris! #Olympics
@jemelehill Sister Jemele, I watched ALL the women’s basketball last night. I’m exhausted!!! Had no skin in the game but was HOPING for LSU and USC. Sigh. On to the Final Four!

@Ecnerwal23@jemelehill Did she???? She was a bitch to her friend for years, lied about ND Law AND she slept with someone. She needs therapy and a mirror. 😜
