The Illegitimate President: Reckless Acts, Conflicts of Interest and Violations of Law
Much will be made today with regard to John Lewis’ comment about Trump not being a “legitimate President.” Of course he is in the sense that he got the required electoral votes which may in part have been the result of illegitimate influences.
A soupçon of hyperbole at most because some of those influences have credible supporting evidence. It’s a question of interpretation and of course that makes it a matter of confirmation bias.

Are some of his cabinet and quasi-cabinet appointments legitimate? Depends on the massively biased Senate, but that is something that needs to be blurred out with as much distraction as possible. Just how much impropriety can we ignore? Just how little responsibility do we credit Mr. Legitimate with when he appoints cabinet members with extremely close financial ties to our traditional adversary and without necessarily even an interview to discuss policy?
We don’t want to be talking about reckless acts, conflicts of interest and violations of law just yet, SO ISN’T IT JUST TERRIBLE WHAT LEWIS SAID?
