Donald Trump, like many who came before him as they pass the baton off to one another, consistently demonstrates himself to be the type of politician, much like those others, that the Bill of Rights was adopted to protect against. The type of politician who is observably committed to unilaterally increasing the power of the central government at the expense of Individual and states’ rights.
