Naah, he's got excellent source material to work from.

Americans nationwide routinely shoot and kill each other over the most petty of disagreements, including:

>A Florida man who is accused of shooting and killing his brother over a dispute about a cheeseburger.
>A Texas man who is accused of shooting and killing a stranger for cutting in front of him at a taco truck.
>Another Texas man who is accused of shooting and killing his stepson for jumping on the bed.
>A Colorado man who is accused of shooting a neighbor after an argument about feeding squirrels.
>A Tennessee man who is accused of shooting a toddler three times after her mother didn't flirt back with him.

And that's only the month of May for 2016!

That's just crazy people. They could have used knives, bats, stones, pipe

This is the system that elected your President, you know the one who lost the popular vote?

What do you think of the US as a Monarchy?
Where were you in grades 1 - 12?

America was the colony of a monarchy for a couple of centuries.

Been there, done that.

We didn't care for it all that much.

FYI

You must be really old to have witnessed Monarchy in America. George Washington should have taken Lewis Nicola's advice

Having to ask the King for something isn't as good as just taking it...or knowing Trump or some other Con Artists who can help you rip off The People.

It's a fantasy but there is very little doubt that a "true benevolent dictator" would be better than the current situation. As it stands we have "warlords" that we call Congress who work toward one ideal - making money for themselves and getting re-elected so they and their friends can make more money for themselves.

It's hard to see the "benefit" of a bunch of warlords over a benevolent monarch.

It hasn't worked so well with King Donald.

There is also a sizable number of people who believe the earth is flat. In fact, it's pretty much the same people.
