Donald Trump, otherwise known as the 45th president of the United States, has been one of the most divisive presidents of this century. He is currently fighting back on the results of the 2020 election where he lost, and President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris have been projected as the winners despite Trump claiming — without evidence — that there were multiple fraudulent election activities.
In my opinion, this is just a way for him to not have to concede in the election because let's face it, Trump has always been a sore loser. Donald Trump filed for bankruptcies a total of six times and has even had a failed educational scam with his so-called Trump University.
With these financial losses, he has constantly refused to release his tax returns. There are multitudes of awful things on top of that which Donald Trump has taken part in and still approximately 48% of the voters that turned out to vote for the 2020 election still voted for him.
For many, this election was not just about politics and party lines but universal basic human rights and dignity of this country, and for those of you who voted for Trump, maybe you should take a look at the person he actually is.
