Related: About this forumDo you think Trump won "fair and square"?
I have heard that phrase several times from Trump supporters and spokesmen. Do you agree that he won "fair and square"?
In my opinion, he crossed the line of fairness many times during the campaign. To stir up hate, to call your opponent a criminal, to say that she should be in jail, to assassinate the character in such a way, was unfair in all respects.
At the same time, refuse to give up income tax returns, continue to make money off business deals and refuse to divest, totally disregard the Constitution, and lie and deceive with every word out of his mouth. No it was not "fair and square" and he will never be a legitimate President in my eyes.

(13,806 posts)There is nothing fair and square about the voting system in the U.S.
Our elections are about as fair and honest as our justice system.
Corruption has infected every nook and cranny in all branches of
our government, our corporations, our banking system, our military, and Wall Street.
When 'white collar crimes' go unpunished corruption follows.
When Pentagon officials are not held accountable corruption follows.
Our prisons are overflowing with the wrong people.

(13,806 posts)He and the Republicans are going to destroy this country.
We will not recover from the destruction that is heading our way.
When his supporters find out they have been lied to, this country is going to erupt.
