Our founding fathers feared the possibility of a Donald Trump in the future.

George Washington warned against excessive political partisanship and the rise of individuals who could manipulate divisions for personal power.
George was brilliant. What he predicted is happening now.
Thomas Jefferson feared the emergence of an elected monarchy. He believed constant vigilance was necessary to preserve liberty and worried about executive overreach.
Sound familiar
James Madison argued that people are vulnerable to factions and ambitious leaders. In Federalist No. 47 and No. 51, he emphasized separation of powers and checks and balances to prevent tyranny.
Trump is at war with the seperation of power and checks and balances to his power

Benjamin Franklin famously responded after the Constitutional Convention that Americans had created “a republic, if you can keep it,” reflecting concern that democratic systems can decay into authoritarianism.

History is filled with authoritarian takeovers: America’s Founders hoped to prevent them

Americans who would accept dictatorship do not know history and their own government. The scourge of dictatorship must never stain America.

The Founding Fathers feared exactly what the Democratic Party has become today. They are literally the enemy within.

The Founding Fathers would not have approved of the size and scope of the US federal government. It was never meant to be like this.

The Leftist loons only want to take down Trump, but have no interest on reforming a government that has subverted all power to the US federal government.

They just want to take the wheel is all.

Our Founders did not expect political parties to arise. They were sorely disappointed when parties spawned immediately.

But as far as the Executive, yes. They intended the Executive to be the weakest branch, precisely because every other nation on Earth had monarchs/Emperors/Grand Poobahs and it wasn't working well.

Indeed, our Founding Fathers were concerned about the dangers of political factionalism and the potential for any majority, including a Democratic faction, to impose its will on the minority, which could lead to tyranny. They believed that a representative republic, rather than a pure democracy, would help mitigate these risks and protect individual rights and liberties.
Majority Rule Risks: The Founders believed that a majority could act against the interests of the minority, leading to oppression.
Tyranny of the Majority: They warned that unchecked majority power could result in a form of governance that sacrifices the rights of individuals for the whims of the majority.
To address these concerns, the Founding Fathers established a representative republic rather than a pure democracy. This system was designed to balance power and protect individual liberties.
The Constitution includes mechanisms to prevent any single faction from gaining too much power, ensuring that diverse interests are represented.
Both of which Democrats continue to chip away at and violate on a daily basis.

And just think, if you returned the Executive Branch to the weakest of branches, would half the country want to secede every Presidential election?

No.

The collectivist subversion of power to the Executive is the problem and what is dividing the country, not Trump.

Having all that power dangling for tyrants and sociopaths to want to grab is the only possible outcome.

But by all means, return to focusing all your efforts on impeaching him after the midterms or blowing his head off again.

Enjoy.

The Founding Fathers would have feared Barack Obama FAR more than Donald Trump, Elmer!
