Trump is not my president, and he’s certainly not my president-elect. I don’t know why you guys keep saying “our”. I mean, his actions while in office, including violating the Constitution and betraying his oath of office, are exactly why I believe he shouldn’t have been invited to such a solemn and dignified event like that funeral. Inviting him not only overlooks his blatant disregard for democratic norms, but it also risks normalizing behavior that threatens the very foundation of our democracy. That’s when “our” should be used. And honestly, calling him a president is exactly the same as calling a deadbeat sperm donor a father. It might be technically correct, but it doesn’t mean he upheld the responsibilities or the honor the title deserves. He’s not my president or president-elect.

I'm a person who has gone on vacations myself, gone to the movies by myself and gone to concerts, sports events and theater events by myself. I have no qualms about just going and doing what I want when I want. I know not everybody is comfortable doing that. I think TKEGuy has only done things when he has someone to do them with. We're a little different that way.

There’s always going to be differences but I think the two of you will grow together.
