The longer Donald Trump continues his futile, feckless and reckless attack on the American democratic process the more petty he becomes.<\/p>\n

The president of the United States is shrinking before our eyes.<\/p>\n

The Electoral College voted today and certified Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the 46th president of the United States. Trump, meanwhile, is tweeting messages about how he has just begun to fight.<\/p>\n

For what? For an office that is now officially out of reach?<\/p>\n

The U.S. Constitution lays it out there. It is spelled out in the written word. The Electoral College determines who sits in president’s office. It won’t be Donald Trump after Jan. 20.<\/p>\n

So the defeated president might continue to bluster and blather about alleged election thievery. It didn’t happen. Deep down in his gut Trump knows it, too.<\/p>\n

It’s the\u00a0 uncertainty of what might await him once he no longer is shielded by the trappings of immense power that seems to be driving this petty petulance.<\/p>\n

It’s over, Mr. POTUS. Pack your bags and hit the road … for keeps.<\/p>\n\n
