Donald J. Trump took an unusual and uncalled-for step after the midterm election by saying that those Republican<\/em> candidates who kept their distance from him lost their bids for election and re-election.<\/p>\n

The president’s singling out of those candidates, to be candid, was an unconscionable exercise in attention-diversion.<\/p>\n

Well, one of those GOP candidates who lost a re-election effort, U.S. Rep. Mia Love of Utah<\/a>, fired back at the president while conceding this week to her Democratic opponent.<\/p>\n

“Mia Love gave me no love and she lost,” Trump said prematurely the day after the midterm election. “Sorry about that, Mia.”<\/p>\n

They weren’t finished counting ballots. Rep. Love might have won. She didn’t. She conceded today<\/em> to Ben McAdams, and then asked why the president would behave in such a crass manner toward her and her fellow Republicans.<\/p>\n

“However, this gave me a clear vision of his world,” Love said in her concession. “No real relationships, just convenient transactions. That is an insufficient way to implement sincere service and policy.”<\/p>\n

I want to single out the phase “sincere service.” I know that Rep. Love is aware of this, but Donald Trump doesn’t have a sincere bone in his body, unless he’s talking about himself and his so-called success and the “tremendous difference” he says he has made on the nation.<\/p>\n

The president exhibits a decided lack of class far more often than most of us want to see and hear. That moronic singling out of Republicans who didn’t give him sufficient “love” is yet another example of the man’s unfitness for public office.<\/p>\n\n
