In just his first month Trump has arguably violated 5 provisions of the U.S. Constitution:

1. By raking in money from foreign governments, Trump may have violated Article I, Section 9: “no person holding office shall… accept any emolument … from a foreign state.”
2. By banning travel from 7 countries with a majority of Muslims, and exempting Christians, Trump may have violated the 1st Amendment’s prohibition of any “law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
3. By denigrating the free press, publicly calling it an “enemy of the American people,” and seeking to turn the public against it, Trump may have abridged the freedom of the press under the 1st Amendment.
4. By disparaging and inciting violence against Mexican Americans, Muslim Americans, and African-Americans, Trump may have violated the 14th Amendment’s “equal protection” clause.
5. If he knew of or participated in Russia’s attempt to get him elected he violated Article III, Section 3: “Treason against the United States shall consist in … adhering to [America’s] enemies.”


That list was compiled by former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich. So, he is an idiot, he don't no nothin' 'bout govmint, and he hates Trump. Not credible. So much hate. Terrible, really. Terrible.

But there it is. And Reich says be patient, a bipartisan call for impeachment will come. But, see above to debunk that theory.

 


Lol...not going through 13 pages, but I'm trusting after 13 pages of this thread someone shot down this rubbish.

Well, #5 may have a shred of validity.
