Since 2016, former President Donald Trump \u2014 while a good president \u2014 cost the GOP the House in 2018 and 2020 and now the Senate in 2022. He has become an albatross \u2014 and a vindictive one at that \u2014 lashing out at any potential candidate younger, wiser and more disciplined.<\/p>\n<p>If there was a referendum on Election Day, it ended up being one on Trump, not on Biden, one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States, who has done much to damage the economy and our prestige.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t have Biden as president in 2024, and the GOP does not belong to the Trump family. I write this as someone who voted for Trump twice and would probably do so again, but does not want him to run at the risk of enabling Biden to destroy us even more than he already has.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p><em>Alice Lemos<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Queens<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Post passion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I grew up on The Post as a young lad, reading the best sports section in town (\u201cOnly in New York, kiddies,\u201d Cindy Adams, Nov. 16).<\/p>\n<p>I became an NYPD officer back in 1992, and worked up in the Bronx for my first 10 years.

This, in turn, has created opportunities for criminals to ride up onto a sidewalk to attack pedestrians, then get away fast.<\/p>\n<p>We would cut down on these chain-snatching, dog-snatching, drive-up crimes if every single time someone is caught riding on a sidewalk the police would fine them or take their bike or moped.<\/p>\n<p>Julia, I am sorry you had this terrible experience and will feel better soon.
