The Post-Star (Glens Falls, NY): "Letter to the editor: Let Trump be known as the fake president"

Editor:

The Fake President: This POTUS has made a dangerous decision to “brand” any opposing element as “fake news,” even the real news and real FBI/Justice Department intelligence. He has even gone as far as to rewrite the facts of what he said during his latest meeting with his supreme leader Putin in our national transcripts. These are not the actions of the real president of the United States, they are the actions of a compromised puppet of the KGB. They are the actions of a cruel dictator “wannabe” who has respect for no one or no thing except himself and his own interests. So let's go ahead and concede to allow this reckless abomination to continue to use his new brand — fake!

Trump was not elected by the populous; he won by Electoral College and was most likely assisted by Russia — fake election/fake results/fake president. He started with a fake inaugural crowd size. He has fake wealth, fake good health, fake full head of blonde hair, fake skin tone, fake teeth, fake relationship with his spouse, fake friends, allies and lawyers; fake loyalties, fake empathy, fake promises, fake leadership abilities. He's not even been able to fire a single individual from the White House to their face; fake courage, fake strength and fake convictions.

Yes! Let this “brand” follow him into history as we will all surely one day look back and see this disruptive beguiling man-baby as “The ‘Fake’ President.”

Trump occupies the Oval Office illegally because he was not legitimately elected in a fair election. He did not win an election. He was put into office through an election rigged by Russia. I plan to always refer to him now as illegitimate president Trump (deliberate lowercase of president).

Wishing I could boost it again, but now I have "recced" it. I hope the "fake president" moniker has legs. It fits like a glove and is poetic justice for the carnival-barker-in-chief.

until Tillerson called him a "fucking moron" and that appeals to me more these days for some reason. Maybe because it is more insulting and angry.

The article left out a few more "fakes"...his wife's and daughter's fake faces, breasts, hair, etc. The only thing genuine in the W House are the genuine traitors who live and work there.

vice-president works in this country, like it or not. I think it's an anachronism, but it's not going anywhere.

As for the gist of the letter: spot on.
