Grace in loss

Donald Trump hates the media. He hates Hillary Clinton.
He hates any idea that contradicts his own and now it
seems that he might just hate the system if he doesn’t
win the presidential election. Trump refused to say that he will
honour the results of the presidential election, were he to lose.
He hinted at the fact that he may not accept the defeat. After
close advisors and friends tried to get the media to back off
from going to town with that statement, which eventually happened
anyway, Trump then stated that he will accept the result
but reserved the right to file a legal challenge in the event of a
questionable outcome. While this is the right of every contestant
in the election, the way Trump puts it, makes it seem that
he will not give up. That part is admirable. But it’s not when
the people have spoken and you just can’t admit the fact that
you have lost. With a little over two weeks to go for the presidential
election, it seems as if Hillary can pip Trump to the
post, since the latter has put a lot of dents in his own campaign
over time. Perhaps someone needs to prep him on being
a gracious loser.
