In making what is likely to be the most
consequential decision of this transition period, Donald Trump couldn’t
resist petty vindictiveness.
Mitt Romney was briefly touted as
the front-runner to become secretary of state. After meeting with Trump
over a meal, he pronounced himself “very impressed” by the man he had described as “a phony, a fraud” during the campaign.
Trump
did not accept this graciously. Citing a Trump friend, The Post
reported that the president-elect “enjoyed watching his dinner partner appear to grovel for the post.”
Memo
to Trump’s Republican critics: Your initial instincts about Trump were
right. Remember that catering to this man will bring only pain and
humiliation.
Memo to those claiming that everyone should give
Trump a chance now that the people have spoken: Actually, “the people”
didn’t make Trump president. They preferred Hillary Clinton by at least 2.8 million votes.
If Trump takes office, it’s the electoral-college system that will do
it. And the post-election Trump has been as abusive and self-involved as
he was during the campaign. The opposition’s job is to stand up and
prevent or mitigate the damage he could do to our country.
