Trump has surrounded himself with new yes men who have no problem destroying the constitution:


On Wednesday, the Washington Post editorial board published a scathing indictment of President Donald Trump’s “second act” of Cabinet officials.

“The Trump presidency has entered a dangerous new phase,” wrote the board. “Administration officials who had some scruples have given way to men (yes, only men) whose first priority seems to be retaining their jobs. Because the chief requirement for that is personal loyalty to the president, who has shown himself to be without scruple, decency or respect for the Constitution, the result is the progressive erosion of core institutions.”

And to add to this, millions of US voters see Trump as a good President, and have no understanding themselves of the US Constitution.

He's doing everything he can first to please putin, weakening our country, destroying our EPA standards putting everyone at risk and us becoming another Flint, and undermining and corrupting one sector at at time where he picks something that'll cause a fight, then he uses it to then give him an excuse for their replacement with someone else more corrupt , and that'll promote loyalty to him and only him. Exactly how putin has done in russia, and with businesses, taking over some businesses, and demanding payoffs from others. Just like trump has desperately tried to make the DOJ loyal to him only, and why he has Barr now to make it trump justice where he becomes the judge, jury, and executioner, and can attack his opposition, again just like putin has done in russia. Now we hear trump and the republicans repeating putins propaganda here too almost on a daily basis. They're lying because its not making us great, because we already was, he's destroying us from within, and weakening us more every day , and that's he lies so much, its all a con job from a very corrupt career criminal , and a group of republicans that their crimes were uncovered by putin , and corrupt for him to compromise them also. This guy is bad news, a serial liar and as corrupt and evil as they come. That's not how you make a country greater, its just the opposite.

Plus, Trump holds these big entertainment events but never does the work he needs to do as a president.
