Donald Trump is acting like a spoiled toddler -- America must give him a permanent timeout

Jan. 20 cannot get here fast enough. Donald Trump is running wild with his disingenuous and false proclamations of a rigged election, rampant voter fraud and a stolen victory. Unbelievably, he is now claiming that the FBI and Department of Justice contributed to his fantastical claims of voter fraud. We have 50 days to go to survive this madman’s deceitful and harmful rhetoric.

Let us be clear: Joe Biden won the election fair and square in what has arguably been the most scrutinized election in recent U.S. history. Trump has filed baseless and frivolous lawsuits and not a shred of evidence of massive voter fraud has been offered. In fact, his attorneys, with their bar licenses on the line, have repeatedly stated on the record, “This is not a fraud case.” Yet Trump persists with his attention-seeking rants and raves.

Trump has lost. His psyche cannot handle the reality of the moment — that he has been repudiated by the American people. He is embarrassed, humiliated and scared, quite likely because he knows he is facing federal and state criminal charges once he leaves office. Trump is desperately trying to hold onto power to save his own hide. This is about his self-preservation. This is about him hiding out in the Oval Office so that he can avoid incarceration. To be sure, Trump’s desperation is a confession-of-sorts of his wrongdoing.

Just like a screaming and defiant young child, Trump needs to be put in timeout — indefinitely. He should be silenced. He should be sequestered. We must not allow him to have the attention he thrives on — and any attention is positive reinforcement to him. The media must not allow his virulent voice to be heard.

I literally can't stand to look at this evil being's face, or hear its voice. I don't watch television, have not watched it for 40+ years, and never see Trump, or listen to it speak, on the internet. I have never watched Fox News except for one time, in passing, at a friend's house, decades ago. Bill O'Reilly was on. After a few minutes of that, I left. That shit emanates evil, and I literally can't tolerate any exposure to it.

Please consider never watching Fox, and exposing yourself to something that is dedicated to deliberately harming you, and everyone who watches it. Look at what watching Fox News has done to members of your once normal family, friends, neighbors, and your fellow citizens, who have fallen under its spell, and who now worship Trump.

It has literally driven them insane. Psychotic. Experiencing debilitating delusions, believing in fantasies. They have lost touch with reality.
