Of all the criticisms of Trump I've heard, I haven't heard him being lazy, that's for sure. I don't think hard work would be an issue for him.Interesting article.
The best possible outcome for a Trump presidency, I think, is that, one month in, he discovers that being president is a lot of work and he STILL can't do exactly what he wants so he hands off as many duties as possible while he goes off to play golf in Scotland, as he believes they like him there because nobody's had the heart to tell him what the word 'bawbag' really means.

His contempt for constitutional norms might reveal the nation’s two-century-old experiment in checks and balances to be more fragile than we knew.
From the article:
The current government's contempt for the constitution, from the courts to the legislature to the current president, has already revealed that the system of checks and balances is more fragile than we had hoped. I can't take someone seriously who believes that things are fine now but will only start to fall apart when Trump gets elected.
Democrats know that Trump is going to win. That's why they are so worried.
Of course they're worried, they'd need to start paying their fair share for their own defence, at least pay the 2% NATO requirement!Democrats and the rest of the world.
Yes.When you say 'current government', do you mean the presidency and cabinet or the senate and/or house?
The examples have become the standard operating procedure.And in which way do you believe they've undermined the current political system?
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’ But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.” - Jn 15:18-27Democrats and the rest of the world.

Huh? I don't see populist parties winning elections in Europe anytime soon (potentially Marine Le Pen in the French presidential one, potentially). Trump can win because he's actually the nominee of one of the two major parties.Getting out of the EU/NATO/anything vaguely resemling some sort of international cooperation is the priority of any populist party over here as well, so I wouldn't be quite so sure of that.
But that's only one small example from five years ago. There have been a multitude more since then. If you haven't seen any, you either don't know the constitution or you aren't paying attention.
Was your point that some foreign countries such as Saudi Arabia don't like Trump?Thank you for quoting scripture.
Even if it refers to not taking part in worldly matters that contravene the Christian lifestyle and has absolutely no bearing on politics either right or left wing.
Antigone is European, so there's no reason why she would care about the American constitution.Yes.
The examples have become the standard operating procedure.
But the point where it became clear to me was Obama's attack on Libya. He didn't care whether he had the authority to declare war, Congress didn't want to take responsibility and in fact only acted to avoid using their authority, and generally the opinion of those in government was "if he makes the orders and people follow him, then its legal." There were a few people who actually tried to pay attention to the constitution in all of this (like Rand Paul and Dennis Kucinich), but they were well in the minority and they accomplished nothing.

Trump doesn't want to leave NATO, but he wants countries to pay their fair share, at least the 2% for defence spending which is a requirement to be a member in the first place. I'm saying leaders, like that German foreign minister, are of course worried, because their respective governments are going to have to start paying more.
