Trump blames constitution for chaos of his first 100 days

The president is learning the limits of power

On his 100th day in office on Saturday, facing historically low popularity ratings, a succession of intractable foreign crises and multiple investigations of his links with Moscow, Donald Trump reminded the nation that 1 May was Loyalty Day.

The day is a US tradition dating back to the cold war, when it was a bolster to stop May Day becoming a rallying point for socialists and unionised workers, but for an embattled president learning politics on the job it has an added resonance.

In an interview with Fox News to mark the 100-day mark, he declared himself “disappointed” with congressional Republicans, despite his many “great relationships” with them.

He blamed the constitutional checks and balances built in to US governance. “It’s a very rough system,” he said. “It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.”

1. He is bad for

the country not the Constitution, I hate this jerk, he needs to go. Stop being a fucking bully. And a whiner.

works the same way as it does in Putin's Russia.

3. Or that it would be...

as soon as he was sworn in.

8. Somehow, the moron thought he could be the 'ceo' of the country.

How a grown-assed man who's lived here his entire life can come to that conclusion, who the fuck knows.

4. Yeaa. That constitution makes it so, SO hard to be a dictator

In a democracy...darn constitution.

[malaise]

5. So it only doesn't work for him?

What a fucking idiot

[LonePirate]

6. I'm surprised it took him 100 days to trash the Constitution. Of course, his lackeys are it up.

Unless he abandons his racism and the wall, those ignorant traitors will cheer him on regardless of what he does.

7. I'm gonna need a drink after reading that nonsense...someone tell Donnie he ain't a dictator, please

9. The guy who swears to protect and defend the Constitution laments it now.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Trump thought it would be like a Apprentice Reality TV show.

Mark Burnett would print his script in large letters double spaced,and he could walk on set,clap his hands and grin like a Ape,and say his line,your fired.

Remember,this Guy has morphed into this Reallity TV so called character,and the rest is a slow motion Hoare Show.
