Trump’s hubris

Tue., Dec. 8, 2020

Every time I think Trump has achieved a new low in hubris, he outdoes himself.

Now he is saying that he will not provide a tour of the White House to President-elect Biden, he probably won’t attend the inauguration on Jan. 20, and he may use the day to announce a 2024 bid for the presidency.

This man needs to become a footnote (a small one) in history, and let us get on with life.
