TRUMP: Travesty in office

| December 30, 2018 12:00 AM

A letter from Leonard Brant, appearing in the Press Dec. 26, states as fact, in the first sentence, that the American electorate chose, actually chose, Donald Trump to be president.

True enough there was an inauguration, a swearing in, but how did this disreputable guy even get invited to the party, much less given the oath?

Let’s look at some of scams and schemes we now know were in play: millions of voters exposed to Russian propoganda via Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, illegal purging of voter rolls, gerrymandering, voter suppression in more ways than you could imagine.

Trump in the White House is a travesty, an absolute outrage on many levels. But to so easily, so casually, blame it all on the electorate? The American people? I say we are almost certainly the victims of the crime. Not the perpetrators.
