I'm 'over it' but what about president?

As someone who did not vote for Trump, I would like to say I accept the results of the Electoral College. I "got over it." But apparently, Trump cannot - with no respect for the First Amendment, which guarantee freedom of speech, religion and the press.

He feels the office of the president entitles him to the right to do whatever he feels like with no concern for the taxpayer.

Please note the cost of security and his regular visits to Mar-a-Lago (I can understand the need to have some R&R but he hasn't been in office long enough to need it)_He evidently finds Camp David (a secure location near D.C.) too rustic. Too bad it doesn't meet his sophisticated needs.

If you disagree with him, he tweets accusations. He seems to be very thin-skinned (Not a good thing for a chief executive) and behaves like a spoiled child.

The cost of security for his wife, his family (scattered around the world) mounts into the millions and as a taxpayer on a fixed income, I find it particularly troubling.

Do you really want to lose the rights that have been guaranteed in our Constitution with a president that seems to have no regard for them at all?
