Trump has exceeded his power and is destroying the basis of what this country has been for 250 years. No other president has gone to this extreme!

Biden had to be overturned several times for unlawful acts and exceeding his authority.

but he was overturned because he respected the laws. Trump does not respect anything but himself

AI Overview

While both Franklin D. Roosevelt and Donald Trump utilized expansive views of executive power, critics and historians argue their goals differed significantly: FDR (1933–1945) pushed boundaries to combat national emergencies like the Great Depression and WWII, whereas Trump (2017–2021; 2025–present) is viewed as using power to advance personal or political agendas and dismantle, rather than build, institutions

What national emergency are we having? Do we have a depression? are we in a world war?

Even so, FDR used his executive power to help the nation. Trump is doing it to help himself politically, ego-wise, and his rich friends!

FDR's polices prolonged the depression. There's a great book on it, FDR's Folly. Read it

I dare the Trump supporters to address this question............"do you want to allow the president to do whatever he wants, no matter who it is done against"?

Yes, if it is within the scope of his Constitutional authority. Any other clever questions?

 

[dblack]

Do you mean that focusing on the rights of a person is not representing the country?

No.

Is "transforming" the country into accepting the basis of the Constitution (for the people, of the people and by the people) wrong?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have a concrete example?

Should they just accept what is and not what should be (according to our forefathers)?

No.

Do you actually think that this nation should be made of 342 million individual islands, and not one nation will all working together for the benefit of all?

That's a false dichotomy. It's not either/or. You can have a nation of individuals who work together for the benefit of all.

 

[jknowgood]

Well then, debate it and try to prove (not just say it) anything that I said in the OP is incorrect!!!!!

He follows court orders dumbass.

 

[jknowgood]

Yeah, the Democrats were very guilty in creating Trump, given that they nominated Obama (a Black man) for president, who was then voted in (and re-elected) as President.

If they had just stayed with the White Man Republican ideals, Trump would never have been allowed to gain support with the Republican party.

It is the fault of the Democrats that Trump (a white man that believes in White supremacy, especially his) is now president.

Lol, Obama was racist not Trump and he divided this country more than anyone in our history.

What court order has he broken?

Bullshit, the truth hurts you. You do realize the Democrats are replacing you with illegals now? They don't care about you if they don't have your vote.

 

[Luckyone]

No.

This country is based on the idea that By the people, For the people, and Of the people. That means that each person has inalienable rights that have to be adhered to.

As such, you saying that focusing on the right of the people is wrong?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have a concrete example?

Yes, of course I have and example.

The Constitution defends the right of the people to free speech. Trump is trying to punish those that disagree with him.

No.

That's a false dichotomy. It's not either/or. You can have a nation of individuals who work together for the benefit of all.

It is not a false dichotomy, given that working with people means compromising. Compromising is giving up something you want in exchange for getting something you want (on both sides). It is not just doing what you want no matter what others want, but working with them when if favors you.

 

[22lcidw]

The GOP realized at some point that they could never get what they wanted for this country under a functioning Democracy. Trump is the result of decades of effort.

WMD's used on your areas would be an improvement.

The People elected Trump. Just because you were not part of that voting block does not mean your unalienable rights have been abridged.

How is Trump not allowing free speech? Seems to me TDSers have been exceedingly free to talk shit about him.

Democrats do not want to given an inch. In fact, they would rather shut down the country. Many of them are outright defiant of anything he does or even proposes. They don't know the meaning of compromise.

Trump has exceeded his power and is destroying the basis of what this country has been for 250 years. No other president has gone to this extreme! This means that not Biden, not Obama, and not any other president before Trump has gone to this extreme!

AI Overview

President Trump has increasingly asserted that, as the elected leader, he holds ultimate executive authority, characterizing his second term by a belief that he "runs the country and the world". This approach includes claims of "total power" over matters like state reopenings, challenging traditional constraints on executive action, and asserting unilateral control in international relations.

• Assertion of Authority: During his second term, Trump has expressed that he has a much better understanding of the government and feels truly in charge, which has translated into bolder, less constrained actions.
• "Total" Power Claims: Trump has stated that "all executive power is vested in the one man elected by the whole nation," arguing that no "unelected bureaucrat" has independent authority. He previously claimed "total" authority over reopening state economies during the pandemic, a claim that faced legal and constitutional scrutiny.
• Unilateral International Action: His administration has taken steps, such as those regarding Venezuela, that have been criticized as bypassing traditional international law protocols and acting without congressional authorization.
• Comparison to Other Presidents: The assertion of such vast authority has been described as surpassing the power claims of previous presidents. Critics, legal experts, and analysts have frequently pointed out that the President's powers are not "total" and are instead checked by the Constitution, Congress, and the judiciary.
  Harvard Law Review +5

While some supporters view this as a legitimate use of executive power to fulfill campaign promises, critics argue it exceeds the intended constitutional limits of the office.

Let us be honest for once. What Trump is doing, and his supporters are supporting and embracing, is one man making the decisions for all 342 million Americans. As such, the Republic is no longer in play, representatives of each of the hundreds of communities, no longer have any say for the people they represent, the Senate and the House have been thrown aside and no longer have any power, given that if they disagree with Trump, they become pariah's to be persecuted and punished. Even the Supreme Court is wrong in their decisions and should not be listened to.



None of the other presidents have ever done (or tried doing it) this to this country, because every other president believed in the Constitution and what this country was all about. This means that the MAGA (Make America Great Again) logo is pure bullshit as this actually takes away whatever greatness this country ever has obtained.

Let me for one second, play the devil's advocate and say what Trump supporters believe in is correct, which is "Trump is doing a great job as he is attempting to get rid of waste, corruption, injustice, illegality, and all the rest of the negatives that exist in a government". Okay, that is a good thing for sure, but is it worth the cost? If we allow ONE PERSON (no matter how good he may actually be) to destroy what this country has built over 250 years, destroy what our ancestors built with great sacrifice, and throw away all the checks and balances that now exist, is that a cost you are willing to pay?

After all, is there any one person in this history of this world that is perfect? Do you want to allow one person to tell you what to do, how to do it, where to do it and with what degree it can be done, without you having any say in it?

That is what is in stake for all of us (including his supporters) if we all allow this to happen. Under that situation, all of us are at risk of being punished, gone after, persecuted, and found guilty if that one person thinks you have done something wrong. There will be NO WAY for any of us to defend ourselves and our rights if that occurs.

Do you Trump supporters actually want that to happen? No matter what good Trump is doing for this country? Are you actually willing to sacrifice your own lives for that to occur?

Or is it that you actually believe that the checks and balances that have existed for 250 years, the ability to get justice through the courts (legal system), the right to free speech, and the rights to life, liberty and happiness will actually survive if Trump is allowed to continue on this path?



I dare the Trump supporters to address this question............"do you want to allow the president to do whatever he wants, no matter who it is done against"?

Only if he has a phone and a pen.

Due to the Great Depression, which was caused by by huge income inequality. That income inequality is worse now because the rich are not paying their fair share

Thre Great Depression was caused by the Federal Reserve

The 20's were Americas nest years since the creation of the Fed. The only time purchasing power increased

Forget AI, prove the OP incorrect. Show where anything stated is false!

They don't understand what AI is or what it does so they think they can dismiss anything that AI has helped "assemble" as not credible.
