is because he didn't participate in the peaceful transfer of power. They would both have attended meetings to discuss events & issues if he weren't such a self-absorbed, sore-loser, baby-man.

And he left the White House in a snit at the last minute and didn't even honor the custom of welcoming the new potus and flotus for a visit.

Disgusting. And it's even more disgusting that there's anyone left who thinks he deserves to be elected to serve again!

If time allows, I'll work in "...after losing an election" just to drive the point home. But that might make for a sentence too long for people to read these days.

Mostly I hope the fucking Republicans will get over their shit and act like small-d democratic Americans again.

I swear, I don't mean anything by "small-d"
