We need to talk about a forbidden subject: the legitimacy of the current president.
Theres been a code of silence around President Donald Trumps shady victory in 2016. Its one of those tiptoe-around-it things that the American family just doesnt talk about. And with good reason. Whatever your politics, its perilous to question the soundness of an American election.
Raising the question of Trumps legitimacy risks detonating a full-blown crisis of faith kindling distrust not just in Trump, but also in the system that installed him.
But fear of facing the legitimacy question has not stopped Americans from harboring profound doubts, if only deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, in Aaron Sorkins phrasing from A Few Good Men.

I think this is an excellent question that all Democrat candidates should raise during the upcoming campaign.
Funny, if Trump had lost and then questioned the legitimacy of Hillary’s win, this same pinhead would be writing columns condemning Trump. So it is all about condemning and undermining Trump, not about any overlying principals.
It’s only legitimate when THEY win.
Yes, the election was not valid. Hillary should never have been allowed to run.
The 2008 and 2012 elections were frauds.
The largest fraud ever perpetrated in human history.
Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.
BOTH parties conspired to violate the Constitution.
Just when you thought the MSM could not go any further through the Looking Glass...
Since Hillary Clinton and her minions stole the Democrat primary a case can be made that her candidacy was illigetimate. The fact she goes on and on bitchin and moaning about not winning seems to make the point.
Hillary is an illegitimate loser
I guess the liberal author doesn’t count the illegal aliens and dead people voting Democrap as a problem.
Well, it’s the LA times.
Trump lost California.
They don’t seem to grasp that individual states don’t elect presidents. States do.
No, she is legitimately a loser.
They’re echoing their “father”: “Hath God said...?”
It’s the LA Slimes. They are inferior to the NT Slimes. But - Bless their heart - they do try and throw up some slime every bit as good as New York. Whenever they can.
YES, this was an ILLEGITIMATE election in Los Angelos, County, if that is what he means. Way too many illegal aliens, and dead people, or foreign nationals voting in this election. Ilegitimate, yes.
I don't know how you can be so calm about it. I want to smack them one.
They are frightening and insane.
They demanded Trump declare it legitimate beforehand.
