Barack Obama's library is probably going to open sometime next year.

I don't believe Donald Trump should be invited to the library opening. It isn't OK to treat another person the way that Trump treated him. And quite frankly, I don't think Trump should be given the same recognition as other former presidents of the United States.

The notion of him standing up on the podium and speaking, like all the other honored ex-presidents, makes me sick to my stomach. I am willing to tolerate George W. Bush, in spite of all that I hate about his presidency--which is pretty much everything about it. That is part of having a two-party system. But Trump did not have a legitimate presidency, and he is not a legitimate American leader--and he should not be treated with the same regard as other individuals who have held the office.
