President Trump vs the ACLU

Donald Trump’s proposed policies, if carried out, would trigger a constitutional crisis. By our reckoning, a Trump administration would violate the First, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth amendments if it tried to implement his most controversial plans...

...For 96 years, the ACLU has not opposed or supported any candidate for office. We are not going to start with Donald Trump. But in the face of such an agenda, our job will be to muster all the legal arguments we can to derail and deter the presumptive Republican nominee’s patently anti-civil-liberties proposals should he become our nation’s 45th president.

I wonder what all his "freedom-loving" sycophants think about this.

If they get in, I bet Gingrich winds up resigning. Even he has principles.

I'm still betting that Trump is trolling the political process and has no intention of actually being a president.

Take a look at his face, especially the mouth, if that is not the face of a petulant spoiled child aI don't know what is.

Me too.

Here is my theory;

Because to someone that thinks the only Amendment that matters is the 2nd, people who complain about their rights being violated are "whiny ass Libtard pussies...".

Is his mouth prettier, or uglier than Ned Beatty's?

totally disagree

You can't, rightfully say, TRump has a tremendous ego and think he does not want the most prestigious job on earth.

Makes no sense.
