Whether Trump Should be in the President's Chair is not being Addressed

  America's first illegitimate president, the first to be placed in office even though evidence seems to indicate interference put him there.
   Donald J. Trump.
   And, for all the turmoil Donald Trump has had, this is a matter that doesn't get much attention. This did not get properly addressed in Mueller's Report. It was not the topic of concern in the impeachment hearings.
   No, while a person is sitting in the president's chair who probably doesn't even have the right to be there, hardly anyone is even discussing it.
   But, turn to a couple prominent voices who are. First, turn to former President Jimmy Carter.
   "I think a full investigation would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016," Carter said in June of 2019. He lost the election, and he was put into office because Russians interfered on his behalf."
   This is a former president, whose office comes with a high degree of respect, making a very serious charge.
   Asked by historian Jon Meacham if that means he believes Trump is an "illegitimate president," Carter responded, "Basically, what I said, I can't retract."
   Then, there are the words of James Clapper, former director of National Intelligence. "It stretches credulity to think the Russians didn't turn the election," he has said.
   Someone who has been at the highest level of our intelligence. And, he is saying, "It stretches credulity to think the Russians didn't turn the election." And, that is drawing hardly a penny's worth of attention?
    Little attention was given to what Carter said. Little attention to what Clapper said. There have been no congressional hearings nor even much if any discussion in Congress. Little outrage from the American public.  No focus, at all, in America over this. The large matter of whether Donald Trump should even be sitting in the president's chair is not even being addressed.
