Reconciling,Top Down

 PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD, we respectfully suggest, invite Donald Trump to the white House. For coffee, for a day, or if the former president prefers, to move back, and save on rent. The primary purpose would be reconciliation, starting at the top. The intended effect would be "trickle down" healing, which we hope would trickle all the way down, down very deep, to the Proud Boys and folks of that ilk. Biden could ask Trump for suggestions, drawing on his  (Trump's) experience as president. The intent here would be to show respect, and good intent. Any bad advice or suggestions provided by Trump could be ignored, as has long been the custom. Trump could be offered a position within the administration ,"Special Assistant for Bad Advice"  (SABA) and adorn a red ball cap with "Spec. Asst. Bad Advice" Then, after breaking the ice, Biden hands Trump a thick manuscript, and explains that he wants, in the name of honesty, to fully explain his complaints against the former president. the manuscript would of course contain a long list of the lies Trump told to the American people and to himself while in office. Not all twenty two thousand eight hundred and eighty eighty eight of the whoppers, just a good enough sample to make the point. Maybe two or three thousand of the most blatant ones, for emphasis. All proven, verified lies, on tape on video, and now, complied into a single manuscript for Trump and the American people to peruse at will. Mr. President, there was never any need or reason for all this. In almost every case, the truth would have done just as well, if not better. you got into a rut, into a habit, and you couldn't get out. We the people who opposed and detested you did so largely upon this basis. A little plain talk never hurt nobody, as Sheriff Andy Taylor once said. Who knows how that would go? But reconciliation must be based on honesty, consequences, and forgiveness. We the majority of the American people who despised Trump and railed and voted against him must forgive him, but only in concert with full and complete consequences, justice,  being applied to Trump as it is, we hope and assume, to the rest of us. Trump needs to experience the consequences of all his lying by being forced, trapped into, or strongly encouraged to acknowledge and deal with them, with the fact that he really did lie constantly. he also needs to be tried, convicted, and either sent to prison for life without parole or executed for inciting an insurrection and trying to overthrow the government, then perhaps pardoned by Biden, but that's a matter for another day.
