So why did it feel so nauseating?

It is hard to watch Donald Trump be gracious, because he is gracious only when he wins, and that's not a good lesson for the children of America. When he loses, he tries to burn the democracy down.

He promised a smooth transition but was crueler to President Joe Biden during the campaign than I've ever seen a presidential candidate be to anyone: Trump made fun of how Biden looked at the beach, how he was aging and his sad mental lapse at their debate, calling him "mentally impaired."
