To the editor:

Our Constitution has a mechanism in the 25th Amendment for removing the president if he becomes incapacitated. Is this not the perfect example of a time to invoke it? (“Trump still hasn’t conceded. What’s his endgame?” Opinion, Nov. 11)

President Trump has gone from narcissism to a state of delusion so bad that he is now installing loyalists in strategic positions as if he is planning some kind of coup or military action. If he was a member of your family you would not ignore this failure to accept reality.

Why wait to see what he is going to do next?

Vice President Mike Pence and the White House Cabinet members need to remove Trump from power. Pence can pardon Trump if he likes and let the transition to President-elect Joe Biden begin. How can the Republicans argue with that? Or are they afraid “the base” will object when it’s obvious that the president is not accepting reality?

This calls for an intervention. It’s not time just to “wait and see” if Trump descends further into delusion and endangers all our lives.

The Radical Left Democrats, working with their partner, the Fake News Media, are trying to STEAL this Election. We won’t let them!

Here.

Here.

Little Donnie needs to put on his big boy pants and concede the presidency to President-elect Biden. His temper tantrums, posturing, and defiance are being condoned by his Republican cronies. They need to pressure him into conceding before he does something illegal or immoral.

The people have spoken by outvoting him by almost 5 million votes. Americans have suffered enough over the past four years. We need to have a smooth transition of the presidency as in the past.

Here is my latest column on Substack.

He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION!

Donald Trump’s unreality TV show on the evening of Nov. 5, in which he made baseless claims of election fraud, was the most pathetic performance in the 230-year history of the American presidency.

It’s as if the deranged captain of his foundering ship—his ship of state—knowing he cannot survive, is attempting to drag the entire vessel of American democracy down with him.

As we’ve seen for the last four years, Trump can only succeed in one political race: the race to the bottom.
