Trump needs to get over his victory

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President-elect Donald Trump needs to heal, not revel. That is, he must work on healing the divided country he is about to lead, not continue to revel in his victory with a round of thank-you rallies.

Instead, we see: Trump griping about the political correctness of being named “person of the year.” Quieting, but not really, chants of “lock her up.” Revving up the crowd against the “very dishonest” media. Thanking African Americans who “didn’t come out to vote.” Jabbing at the “foolish” White House press secretary for daring to point out that candidate Trump had encouraged Russian hacking.

Crybaby, the Trump supporters will tweet. He won, get over it. But the president-elect is the one who seems to be having a hard time getting over it, or rising above, or inhabiting the responsibility — the majesty — of his new role.

Dismiss this as the griping of obsolescent elites, but regular Americans are similarly apprehensive. Majorities in a Pew Research Center poll say Trump is reckless (65 percent) and has poor judgment (62 percent). More Americans (38 percent) believe he will be a poor or terrible president than are confident (35 percent) he will be a good or great one. Crowds at Trump rallies cheer, but the country worries.

1. Will not happen.

We are in for a long Reelection Campaign from this Guy. He is after all,a Media Creation and there will be one Ego Tour after another for the next four years.

3. my hope is he will create fatigue

people are into infotainment and that's how he got where he is. But eventually people will get bored with him.

4. Might happen,

not counting on it. Everything will hinge on the what where and why of this past election. We old timers see keeping our election system safe is the first priority. If we don't,people will let our Nation drift to a Plutocracy.

2. It's his high point. All downhill from here.

His presidency will not give him much cause for rejoicing.

5. As overly sensitive to criticism...

...as he is, he will be ready to blow a gasket about 3 weeks after taking office (jeez, how I hate saying that). Maybe 3 days. Maybe 3 hours.

I liken it to this - the election was the gllitter and razzamatazz of a wedding. Now comes the hard work of a marriage.
