Just Because You're Losing...

I remember once when I was a child I was playing a game of Monopoly with siblings and cousins. I was not doing well. Then I landed on Park Place where another player had a hotel. I knew I was done for. Instead of losing gracefully, I kicked the table and upset the whole game. I've never felt very proud of that moment. It reminds me now of Trumps's behavior.

He’s nothing but an embarrassment and a fool. You were a child.

It feels like such a relief to know he's on his way out.

there are only few who can accept their defeat gracefully and I admire those. We had our moments when we were young. We had our moments when we were old but we did not show as much like when we were young

It's hard for all of us. Some people muster the courage to face reality. Some don't.

He seems in denial about his situation now.

Some people are very poor losers. Even as adults. I'm sure you wouldn't do that now. lol

At least he was honest---for a change--when he admitted he doesn't like to lose!!

Poor loser fits perfectly with everything we know about him. He didn't really have to tell us this.

@pjmurphy I don't know what the truth is. Don't you think the election process there should be made more authentic and unquestionable?? Here in India, elections are conducted,. We have a multi party system. One party wins,others lose,and the losing party transfers power to the winner peacefully.
