    Trump, in my opinion, looked at the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence and then did them.

    • Transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses

    • Obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither

    • Erecting a multitude of New Offices, and sending hither swarms of Officers to harass our people

    • Keeping among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures

    • Attempting to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

    • Cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

    • Depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury

    • Exciting domestic insurrections amongst us

    That shit reads like the daily frontpage for months now.
