I decided to pick out a few lines from the Declaration of Independence. You know, ones that might apply to Trump. I could have just cut and pasted the whole thing. (Actually, just eyeballing it, it looks like about one third of the list of grievances. [Bullet points added, because I don’t know how to indent in Discourse.]
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. …
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. …
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. …
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
… [E]stablishing… an Arbitrary government…
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us…
Trump is literally doing the very things King George III was doing! And a lot of them!
