Donald Trump slams ‘archaic’ US constitution that is ‘really bad’ for the country
Who didn’t see this coming?
Dictator Don!
You know what is really archaic though? The Bible.
Trump had as much to do with selecting Gorsuch as he has to do with the rise and fall of tides. He was told who he’d be putting up for the job and the clueless idiot did as he was told.
The bulk of the blame for Gorsuch lies with the republicans in congress and Trump’s rubes.
The almost 63 million people who voted for Trump not knowing or caring that he has only the most tenuous grasp on the reality of how governing works.
Stranger
The idiot thinks Andrew Jackson was sad to see the Civil War.
Slaveholding Indian genocider Andrew Jackson had a big heart. And he was sad to see what was happening 16 years after he died. Too bad there wasn’t a dealmaker in the White House then. Sad!
I’ll admit I didn’t quite believe it and had to go find the clip for myself; I thought for sure it was from some sort of Onion parody.
It wasn’t. :smack::smack::smack:
I notice that all the links to Trump’s statements on this subject seem to be from secondary sources; FOX itself does not seem to be playing this up. Too embarrassed, perhaps?
Down with Emperor Trump.
Looks like the answer (besides Stranger’s) is Andy Borowitz.
Trump Says He Has Been Treated Very Unfairly by People Who Wrote Constitution
My history buff roommate says that the Constitution was written by geniuses to protect the country from idiots. We’re testing that now.
Here is a nine second clip that sums up perfectly how Trump sees the Presidency of the United States of America.
People don’t ask why there was a Civil War. People don’t ask why it couldn’t have been worked out. But Trump asks those questions and comes up with the answer that it was because we lacked the vision of big-hearted Andrew Jackson.
Of all of the things Trump has said, this one may be the most insanely delusional and egotistical. I’m pretty sure that lots of people before Trump have asked why there was a Civil War and if it could have been prevented.
To be fair – and, God, I hate to do this – the question and the first part of Trump’s answer were cut off in that clip. I’d like to hear a little more of the context. It sounded to me like he was talking about the “rules of the Senate”, by which he might have meant things like the filibuster and the various procedural rules. And some of the procedural rules are kind of fucked up.
Trump has expressed disdain for, and misunderstanding of, the Constitution on any of a number of occasions. And he is truly a terrifying president. I’ve been in a fairly deep depression since he took office. So, I really really really hate to give him any benefit of the doubt. But I’m also trying to be fair-mined (as I know Fox news would be). So I think maybe casting this as “Trump calls the Constitution archaic and rough” might not be completely fair.
Here’s a seven-second clip that summarizes how most of us see the current holder of that office.
“The Constitution, Donald; you know, that thing you stood in front of 25 billion people and swore to uphold and defend.”
Trump is a walking talking lying avatar of Poe’s Law. No matter what you say about him the next day you find out that he’s getting peed on by Russian prostitutes or something.
Better watch out, now they are (according to Priebus) looking at changing the First Amendment (the free speech one).
Interviewer: "Change the libel laws?” That would require, as I understand it, a constitutional amendment. Is he really going to pursue that? Is that something he wants to pursue? "
White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus during an interview “I think it’s something that we’ve looked at. How that gets executed or whether that goes anywhere is a different story.”
They’ll get ya. 
This is a guy who took an oath to preserve defend uphold blah blah blah the Constitution.
I at least can say I didn’t vote for the fat fascist fuck stain.
I am informed that Borowitz is up there with the Onion. I was about to propose that we send Donny on a fact-finding trip to some select countries with truly bad constitutions (or no constitutions) for comparisons. Darn it. :mad:
Um… do you think Trump knows that the people who wrote the Constitution are dead?
Like Frederick Douglass.
It’s quite doubtful. Our best hope is that he looks up at the sky with his mouth open during a rainstorm and drowns.
In its timely wisdom, The Atlantic has addressed the question, “Why Was There a Civil War?”

Would someone kindly forward this link to The Donald? Probably should include a glossary listing the big words.
