The problem isn't that Donald Trump was not invited to John Lewis's funeral today...

...nor that he appeared to show any interest in going.

That's fine and good. Nobody wanted him there anyway.

But to intentionally steal away the news cycle from Representative Lewis's funeral with his "Let's delay the election!" tweet this morning just shows what a shallow, narcissistic and selfish little shit this man is.

He can't stand anyone else getting the spotlight.

And, like the emotional child that he is, he’d prefer negative attention over no attention.

And he’ll get it.

Trump has no authority to delay the election, of course, but congress does and likely would if Republicans controlled both houses.



Thank all the powers that in 2018 the people got their act together enough to make some very important good trouble -- and took the house away from the Republicans! Congressman Lewis played his part in that.
