Donald Trump is expressing views that are often shared by authoritarians and dictators that form the basis of their justification for their purge of political enemies.

The next President Of The United States has invented a conspiracy theory to make himself feel better about losing the popular vote.

Hopefully, Electoral College electors are watching this stunning behavior unfold, and they are coming to the conclusion that putting Donald Trump in the White House would endanger the United States of America.
