Yeah, well those writers of the Constitution had Trump in mind, more than 200 years in the future, when they added the restrictions and counter-balances, to keep him under control. We have yet to see how well it works, to save our country from the destruction he'd like to bring, but so far, he is striking-out on almost every attempt. The system of federal courts and judges, has become more evident than ever, regarding its importance in keeping our government functional.
Trump never said it. You're being conned. Played. Lied to. Manipulated.
Transparency would have your leader forced to attend a question period so that he's required to answer for the record, questions posed from the floor of the house by any member. Trump would not have lasted five minutes under that type of public scrutiny.
Agreed.
The US could probably do with a similar system to Prime Minister's Questions (PMQ's).
All you get in the US are committees or press conferences, the latter usually hosted by the White House Press Secretary.
I know, I know. If you say I think that, you can avoid debate. It's typical here.
I stand by what I actually said. He's saying that the rules of the senate are stopping people like him from getting things done, and that's a bad thing. Again, this is what I wrote but if you argued based on what I actually felt, you might actually have to think about what you say... and we can't have that.
Maybe you've forgotten what you wrote in post 63, but that's ok. You now know Trump never said the Constitution is archaic.
Well, wonder how all the people who supported the idea of an "originalist" for supreme court, one who would defend the original ideas of the constitution from modern times are gonna feel about that thought. That is instead of calling it "archaic" because it doesn't give supreme power to the prez.
This is the ultimate way to blame someone or something else for his own failures. Much better than blaming liberals, democrats, or even republicans! Yay!
"Donald Trump has blamed the US constitution for the problems he has encountered during his first 100 days in office.
In an interview with Fox News to mark the milestone, the Republican called the system of checks and balances on power “archaic”.
“It’s a very rough system,” he said. “It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.”"
How is a Constitution of property owners, by property owners, and for property owners - imposed on citizens without property without their advice or consent - even morally legitimate?

Trump doesn't care about the Constitution, or about Congress, or the Courts, all he cares about is satisfying his childish ego and winning at all costs: (new tweets) https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/sta...94375360667648
Yeah, it's too bad he didn't say that, because if he had said that, you're original post wouldn't be an outright lie and you'd still have some credibility and integrity.
But alas, he didn't say that, so....
( if you wanna know what people mean when they say FAKE NEWS, this is the epitome of it )
You are sooo right... this is fake news. The truth must be that trump doesn't really want to have ultimate power, would never do away with checks and balances if he could, and he never, ever, no matter what, blames anyone but himself for his failures. <sarcasm>
