The constitution was written to protect us from people like Trump. [View all]

That's why Trump wants to get rid of it. This simple, basic, easy to understand truth cannot be grasped by Trump voters. I have no idea how people can ignore, not understand this. What has happened to their brains can only be explained by mental health experts.

Not being able to grasp Trump is a danger to our country, to the Trump voters themselves can be compared to this.

Not having the ability to understand fire can burn you. What in the hell happened to these people?
