I decided to pick out a few lines from the [Declaration of Independence](https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript). 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! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-has-the-disgraced-convicted-felon-former-but-once-again-president-trump-pissed-you-off-today-part-2/1013964)._
