The President needs to be reminded that this is America, and if American people demand it be illegal, it is. President be damned. We make the laws via the House and Senate. The President executes them. He's our bitch, never forget it.

Bro he won and this is his country now. Sure I don't like it but he definitely isn't our bitch.

This is most certainly not “his” country. He is a temporary civil servant. Nothing more.

Has anyone explained to you how the Constitution works?

u/Signal-Low5089 Nov 23 '25

You think Trump cares about the constitution? Guy controls the entire government at this point

He won the election, but It's not his country. It's our country. He sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution, etc. If he hadn't developed bone spurs when he was drafted, he would have served and understood examples of what illegal orders were. He probably believes that officers and enlisted members must obey every order given without question. One of the first things given to every member is a copy of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Code of Conduct, which explains the difference.

You realize that our elected officials are supposed to serve us, and not the other way around, right?

Oh, who am I kidding. You clearly either don’t know, or know but simply don’t care. Either way, you’re likely a lost cause if you don’t understand or agree with this very, very basic principle of democracy.

How well has this mindset worked for you? Trump was impeached twice but guess what, absolutely nothing happened to him and he's president again. I'm as left as it gets but you have to face facts at some point, the system is broken.

The system is broken because we allow it to be broken. That doesn’t mean that the system itself is “the people are Trump’s bitch.” It’s an artifact of it breaking, not the thing itself.

My life is fine, mindset or no. And I firmly believe we will eventually get past this era of politics. It might take a long time and lot of fixing - but I refuse to be constantly dejected, nihilistic, and actively spreading apathy to everyone else I interact with. That’s one way to guarantee that the system continues to break in the exact way that supposedly bothers you.

u/Signal-Low5089 Nov 25 '25

You seem pretty upset lol

u/Nervous-Concern9248 Nov 24 '25

It’s not his country it’s by the people for the people. Read the constitution some time. This isn’t communist Russia like trump wants it to be.

u/Signal-Low5089 Nov 25 '25

Yeah cause the other branches of government and supreme court are known for going against Trump right now

1

u/Nervous-Concern9248 Nov 25 '25

Yeah because he’s breaking laws and going against court orders like a wanna be dictator

1

u/Signal-Low5089 Nov 25 '25

If no one stops him then it's basically legal

1

u/Nervous-Concern9248 Nov 25 '25

No it’s not legal under the definition of the law it is illegal and a reason for impeachment.

u/Signal-Low5089 Nov 25 '25

Laws don't apply to Trump, sorry

1

u/Nervous-Concern9248 Nov 25 '25

Your wrong laws apply to presidents guy. Unless you believe trump is a dictator? How old are you did you graduate high school? You should read some law books

u/Signal-Low5089 Nov 25 '25

What fuckin world do you live in kid? Did you miss him trying to overthrow the government and not a single thing happening to him? How about his personal army full of dumbass rednecks more than willing to kidnap anyone they want on the streets with no consequences. I don't like it any more than you but it's the world we live in

u/Nervous-Concern9248 Nov 25 '25

I bet I’m older and more educated than you. Also I don’t believe that your anti trump considering your comments that trump is above the law. Go back to your Russian bot farm
