‘Colorado is just the start...’
‘Colorado is just the start...’ (Reuters)

We may dislike Trump; however, “we’re stuck with him for the time being” Eric Garcia, writes in The Independent. I disagree.

With Colorado standing up to Trump and taking him off November’s ballot for president, Maine is following suit, albeit for a slightly different reason.

The point is: according to the US Constitution, being involved in an insurrection – like Trump was on 6 January 2021 – disqualifies you from running for president. Furthermore, we are moving toward a more politically correct climate, with people like Harvard president Claudine Gay resigning after her controversial Supreme Court testimony. There is no place for Trump here.
