It's Friday afternoon, and the mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, has said what many of us have been thinking: that's it's time for Trump to "put on his big-boy pants" and concede that Joe Biden has been elected President.
But there's a problem here, and we all know exactly what it is: President Trump has no big-boy pants. There've been countless moments over the past five years, since well before Trump was elected, when he has demonstrated that he has no big-boy pants. There can be no shred of doubt left in any sane observer's mind that has no maturity, no decorum, no sense of fair play, no respect for anyone or anything. This has been clear for a while. No one is surprised by how Trump is behaving. Everyone knew that this election was going to be a two-step process: first vote Trump out, then force him to leave office. Step one: mission accomplished. Step two -- ?
It's up to us. He won't go quietly. And we all knew he wouldn't.
