Frustrated Dictator Trump Says ‘Archaic’ Constitution is a Bad Thing for the Country

@POTUS on getting things done in government: "It's a very rough system. It's an archaic system...It's really a bad thing for the country."




Donald Trump doesn’t like the whole concept of government of, by and for the people, the idea that political power derives from the will of the people rather than gods or kings or priests or…dare we say, political strongmen, real and imagined.

Per Fox News, Trump’s sole intelligence source and enthusiastic feedback loop:

Archaic means “old-fashioned” and “obsolete” and “out of date” and, perhaps wistfully here for would-be dictator Donald Trump, “no longer used.”

You know, because we have this whole thing about three co-equal branches of government and checks and balances that prevent the president from ruling like a king – or a Putinesque banana republican dictator.

It’s inefficient, he says. In other words, he’s frustrated that he can’t do anything he damn well pleases without appeal to all those pesky and inconvenient laws. He can’t try to rule by fiat without somebody saying “un-Constitutional!”

Your party has a monopoly on power. How clueless to be politically impotent with such an advantage. Don't blame America's Constitution. https://twitter.com/foxnews/status/858097715930116096 …

Of course, Trump doesn’t want any of that, having to work with people and persuade them with intelligible arguments (foot-stomping tantrums don’t count). He wants people to just do what he says because he’s “kind of a smart guy” and he’s the only guy who can fix it. Just ask him. Why does he have to bother with all these lesser beings who just get in the way of his brilliance?
