His belief in his name trumps the U.S. Constitution. And the GOP agrees because their value of the Constitution is limited to the 2nd Amendment.
He needs to be gone. And the word "trump" must be as reviled as the word nazi. It is racist and antidemocratic. But the stress needs to be that there is a new meaning - ignorance of fact. How can we get Websters to edit their definition to add the new meaning he has brought to the name he cherishes?
