Donald Trump behaves and looks like a pathetic person. It would be a terrible insult to children to compare him to a spoilt child.
And then there are those around him, who have supported and lived in his coattails during his presidency.
But what about the US bishops who supported him, the daily nonsense that appeared on Bishop Strickland's Twitter account? Strickland is bishop in Tyler in Texas.
And then there has been the sycophancy of New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan around President Trump.
On the other hand Chicago's Cardinal Blase Cupich and Newark's Cardinal Joseph Tobin have to be commended for the stand they have taken against Trump and his policies.
Fr Vincent Twomey's letter in The Irish Times last week 'explaining' why a Catholic could not vote for Joe Biden was most unhelpful, though it did give a glimpse into Fr Twomey's pomposity.
Already an American Dominican, Pius Pietrzyk has sneered at the president-elect.
Watching young people across American cities come out on to the streets to celebrate the election of the new president-elect was a moment of inspiration for the US and the world.
The behaviour of Donald Trump since his defeat must give the world some insight into his crass arrogance.
He shares that arrogance with right-wing elements within the Christian churches.
The Catholic Church should hang its head in shame for allowing any of its bishops to have had any sort of liaison with Donald Trump.
Trump called Kamala Harris a monster. Did Bishop Strickland say a word of condemnation?
Surely the United States and the world is a better place without President Donald Trump and all his lies, vulgarity and showmanship.
Today President Trump fired his Defence Secretary Mark Esper. Another of the many signs of how dangerous and unpredictable the man is. This is the man a number of US Catholic bishops support. It is another story that tells the world how dysfunctional the Catholic Church is.
Turkey, China and Russia have not yet recognised the result of the election.
