I never knew that if you lose a contest you can just refuse to accept you have lost and somehow that makes everything all right. Next time I lose an interclub tennis match I’m just going to tell my opponent that I am not going to concede and that they cheated (by hitting the ball too well). I’m mean if that is valid for the POTUS then surely okay for a tennis match? Perhaps I should threaten my “victorious” opponent with a law suit. Failing that I suppose a full on tantrum might do the trick.

I always thought that to get on in life you needed to work hard, treat people with respect, be honest and good at what I do. Seems I was wrong. Apparently one should be a lying, thieving incompetent. Although starting off as a billionaire through family wealth may also be necessary.

More seriously, how can you tell your children that dishonesty doesn’t pay when clearly it hasn’t stopped Trump having a charmed life?

It's not the first time. Al Gore's 'win' was contested and he had to back off. Remember the Democrat Gore? He was the one who produced that dodgy climate CD, distributed to every school as a climate disaster brainwashing attempt. It was withdrawn, when they couldn't hide any more the fact that much of it was sensationlised nonsense, like the impossible 'hockey stick' graph.

He's inspired me to continue being everything he isn't & to carry on not being everything he is.

If the dodgy postal vote scam doesn’t get exposed I think they should spend the next couple years investigating Chinese interference in the Biden victory, a dodgy dossier will appear with claims that Biden and his son both bonked Chinese ladyboys while off their face on crack. Then we should have a drawn out impeachment process while they try and find some evidence somewhere all while knowing the claims are possibly absolute horse ste.

Trump inspired me to retrospect that GW Bush wasn't that bad after all.

I may get some stick for this but I actually quite liked Trump. He seemed much more "personable" than many politicians.
He seemed to say what he thought irrespective of what other peoples reactions may have been - and have his own beliefs which I think many politicians can learn from.

You don’t need to look as far away as the US to find a refusal to accept a democratic vote. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me to find that Trump took his inspiration from this side of the pond.

By what metric? How many people did GW Bush kill? How many has Trump killed? I suppose the people GW Bush killed were Untermenschen, so that's alright then.

You can tell them that - that "cheats never prosper". But in reality, as we all know, it's the people who don't cheat that don't prosper.

Inspired me that when negotiating with my 5yo having a massive strop, that I could in fact be negotiating with the leader of the free world.

I'm treating t'boy with much more respect. Just hoping he doesn't start TWEETING me in CAPITALS, the LOSER!

Trump didn't have 9/11 and Bush didn't have the period Trump has had.

It's a false comparison as you don't know what Trump would have done over 9/11.

He's encouraged me to stand nervously at the top of a flight of stairs until an attractive woman comes and helps me down them.
