I would like to remind the writer of the letter “A glorious week" [Recorder, Nov. 13] that there was no "lying" by the news media; they were unanimous in saying the presidential election would be close and it was close. According to the latest estimates Trump won just a smidge over 50% of the votes. In our system that counts as a win, but it's not particularly glorious, especially since more eligible voters stayed home than voted for him. And it surely remains to be seen how glorious the effects on the country will be. Stay tuned.
