The Biden White House rebuked Donald Trump after the former president said the US constitution should be “terminated” over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen[.]

Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, said: “Attacking the constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation and should be universally condemned.”

Bates called the constitution a “sacrosanct document”, saying: “You cannot only love America when you win.”

Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020, by more than 7m votes and by 306-232 in the electoral college, a result he called a landslide when it was in his favour in 2016, against Hillary Clinton. » | Martin Pengelly in New York |Sunday, December 4, 2022

Donnie! How can I put this gently? I guess there is no gentle way to put it. Fact is: You lost! “Bigly.” By going on and on and on about this loss, you give the impression to the world tat you are an embittered old man who can’t come to terms with his inadequacies. My advice to you, Donnie, is this: Accept reality. If you don’t, the men in white coats might come and take you away one day! By the way, magnanimity trumps meanness every time. Please excuse the pun, by the way. – © Mark Alexander
