Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States on Saturday, positioning himself to lead a nation gripped by the historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and social turmoil.

Donald Trump’s behavior since losing the election reminds me of a renter who refuses to abide by the terms of the lease and is evicted for nonpayment of the rent.

The renter is a sorehead and thinks that he is entitled to stay in the house without paying rent, but is evicted anyway. Then, on the way out, he trashes the whole place and poisons the well because of sour grapes and feeling that if he cannot have the place, then no one else can have it.

Trump is trying to kneecap Joe Biden and trying to make the transition as difficult as possible.
