OPINION:
Despite two assassination attempts, hundreds of millions of dollars squandered, hyperbolic and polarizing rhetoric invoking Hitler, relentless, politically motivated lawfare and much more, Donald Trump has prevailed against all odds (“‘History’s greatest comeback’: From Israel to Ukraine, world leaders congratulate Trump on election,” web, Nov. 6).
Instead of trying to work with Republicans, close our open border, end the warmongering that will bring World War III and adopt sound fiscal policies to reduce crushing inflation and make housing affordable (among the myriad other domestic problems facing the U.S.), the Democrats chose to focus on “getting” Donald Trump. This only elevated Mr. Trump’s status to that of a martyr — and now the American people have reacted accordingly.
I pray that the Democrats do some soul-searching in the next four years and come to the realization that Americans want their elected officials to focus on them, not personal vendettas.
