It's as if the founders were reaching through time to warn us.

Warn us about what exactly? What has Trump done? He has been following all the checks and balances. He's tried the travel bans and the judges have been shooting him down.

Seems to me he is doing everything he can to follow the Constitution. Just because you don't agree with his politics does not make him any kind of a tyrant.

The first response from that link is perfect: "If the wording of the Declaration of Independence sounds like an attack on "your president", then maybe there's something seriously wrong with the president."

That pretty much sums it up.
