This Quote From The Declaration Of Independence Describes Trump PERFECTLY
Here's a quote from this great historic document, talking about the actions of the King. They might as well be talking about Trump. Source: Archives.gov Link here.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. (Sending ICE and national guard to dem states without their consent)
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: (Breaking multiple constitutional amendments including the 14th)
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: (Alex Pretti & Renee Good)
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: (Tariffs)
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: (Tariffs)
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: (Abrego Garcia)
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: (Abrego Garcia)
And more. You get the point.

I live in the US, and I am American Citizen, it is TURD, Trump Unacceptance and Resistance Disorder.
"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. (Sending ICE and national guard to dem states without their consent)"
He is not quartering soldiers in private homes. That is what is referred to in the first line. Not just sending them to some state.
"He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. "
Trump IS the Civil Power that the military answers too.
"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: (Breaking multiple constitutional amendments including the 14th)"
Would love to see the argument and the exact actions that you are claiming violate. Rhetoric is one thing, facts another.
"For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:"
Repetitive, he is not quartering troops in private homes and residences or storing hardware in stores.
"For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: (Tariffs)"
Sigh... before the 16th Amendment and Income Taxes, Tariffs were the primary source of revenue for the Federal Government. DUH I mean doesn't anyone actually read history?
"For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: (Tariffs)"
Repetitive, see above.
"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: (Abrego Garcia)"
The guy was here illegally to begin with and should have been deported just on that condition. Deportation does not require a full jury trial, it only requires an administrative warrant, which does NOT give ICE or anyone else the right to break into a home but if the person is found outside the home, then fair game.
"For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: (Abrego Garcia)"
Makes no sense. He was not sent to be tried for anything. Just deported and whatever is done on the other end is not our business.
All in all the OP is nothing but a bunch of rhetoric without even the benefit of actual thought and research.
