Hans, I appreciate that we will likely have a difference of opinion on some things, but I will say my piece. At bottom, I care deeply about the future of our republic.What did Trump do in his first term that hurt you so bad?
What Trump did in his first term that troubled me was his insecure inability to take a loss like a man. He was a passable good excuse for a serious president for a time, but the true colors quickly showed. He lost by a significant margin. Take it like a man and don't pout in the gutter.
I look at Trump and see a despicably selfish individual who can't fathom the good of his country over himself. I do not believe that he has the capacity to put the country over himself when it comes down to it. I considered him an unserious person back when the Apprentice was on TV, and I'll admit I was shocked when he managed to win in 2016. His behavior after losing in 2020 sealed for me that I would never again trust him with anything approximating power.
I'm not a hard-line partisan, and I don't care much if one party or the other wins the White House. But fealty to the Constitution is paramount in my book, and there are some things currently swirling that give me great pause.
Be well, Hans. We can have a legitimate discussion about the future of our country without tearing each other apart.
