This man does seem to be trying his damnedest to protect his republic.

I can't tell if he is protecting the citizen's republic, or if he's merely consolidating federal power. I sincerely hope it is the former.

I think he's looking out for himself More than anything, and it just so happens that his agenda and the countries agenda both align.

I mean he could've declassified all the FISA nonsense that protect both red and blue politicians, as well as comey, flynn, Clinton, etc etc.

He could've vetoed any of the crazy bills he signed, including the ones he said he would never sign again that he subsequently signed again. Or the 2 trillion monstrosity that he signed recently, or the 3 trillion one that's being proposed.

I've no doubt he might be pissed off enough to release a bunch of these FISA docs before his re-election campaign starts though..

Ultimately, a convention of states is what i fear is the only thing that will reign in the government spending, political power, federal military and police powers such as civil asset forfeiture, but honestly it's becoming increasingly apparent that neither side cares to listen to each other any longer and we have far fewer things that holds us together, even important ones such as a common language have been eroded away.
