You have a weird circular logic eh? You're saying it'd be unconstitutional for Trump to run for a third term (agreed), so therefore you argue when Trump said he'd run a third term he couldn't have possibly meant it, because that'd be unconstitutional, and Trump wouldn't say he'd do something unconstitutional, even when he actually says he'd do something unconstitutional. So, there it's proven by definition that Trump would never do anything unconstitutional, because if it's unconstitutional, that's proof that Trump wouldn't do it. /s
No, I said bring me evidence of an actual Constitutional violation and you're arguing about an offhand comment that wouldn't even be relevant until 2024, would require the complicity of the Republican party (which would have to ignore its own rules on nominations), and HAS NOT HAPPENED.
Again, it's an argument from delusion.
Oh, I have a LOT of problems with Trump. His love for dictators and other presidents-for-life. He telling non-white people (ones born in the USA) to go back to their "countries". His opposition to NATO. His love for promoting conspiracies. His support for Confederate statues, and having military bases have confederate names. His isolationism. His buffoonery.
It's a long long list.
But you didn't ask about the reasons I despise Trump, you asked about why I think he threatens the constitution.
Actually I did ask, and I flat out implied that those opposing him have little to no real basis in policy. I mean honestly, "his love for dictators" is different in real time from the policies of countless European countries and prior Presidents how exactly? US foreign policy is overwhelmingly a story of propping up friendly dictators in the classic establishment Democratic and Republican versions. Can you describe some concession that Trump made to a dictator? No. Can you describe the treaty where he gave a dictator some advantage? No. All you really are complaining about is that he didn't continue nuclear brinkmanship with North Korea. The supposed relationship with Putin is a myth, and he's been tougher against Russian interests than Obama was - and we may have just elected Biden to restore the friendly US posture to the Chinese authoritarian government, not to mention the Iranian terrrorist government, and probably even the Russian aggressive government. But yeah, its Trump that's in love with dictators.
I agree he shouldn't have used that language with the squad. They're anti-American and pursue policies that are destructive of America and detrimental to America's future, but telling them to go back where they came from was not okay. Not even against a backdrop where the very countries their families (in several cases) fled from are the ones destroyed by the very policies they are seeking to import. 99% of the media outrage on this was designed to prevent a legitimate discussion about how awful those policies are by side tracking the country into yet another debate about racism (funny how often racism is showing up to short circuit ANY legitimate discussion on policy).
He's not opposed to NATO. He's opposed to Europe willingly ignoring all NATO obligations and still receiving the benefits of NATO.
His love for promoting conspiracies. You have to be kidding. Four years of an invented Russian collusion scandal, breathless anonymous reporting (that turned out to be fake, misleading or just flat out lies), 4 years of whining about all the crimes that Trump's done if only we could violate the law and take all his records we'd surely find proof of something, four years of Trump is guilty it's just a matter of finding the crime he committed. Conspiracy theories have been the entire, and I mean the entire, operation of the Democrat party for four years.
His support for confederate statues? Really, maybe you missed that in 2018 about 60% of the country said the statues should stay, even in 2020 polls differ on whether there is majority support to keep them or destroy them. They are a part of history, and not everything offensive in history should be white washed. Do you remember the outrage the world felt when the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas? What's the difference in your head? Is it just you view -at the moment- of good guys and bad guys? It's a complicated issue, and what did we get out of it? Four years of the media lying about what Trump said, no matter how debunked they were.
Baffoonery I won't dispute.
In fact, I think someone else said Trump is not worthy of being President. I agree. But where they go off the rails is believing that Clinton was worthy, or that Biden is worthy (at least with Biden you could reasonably argue that he might have been 10 years ago before he was senile, but only if you ignore his and his family's corruption and abuse of office). This country often does not put forward people who are worthy of being President, we still have to choose between them and it's far better to choose based on policy than some kind of high school popularity contest.
