    ^^^i am not. last thing i want. trust me.

    It seems that the last thing you want is Trump in office. Also, I apologize if I missed this in one of your numerous threads, but I believe you still haven't answered my question about what legal or constitutional grounds exist for not permitting Trump to become the President of the United States based on his actions (and not rhetoric, allegations, opinions, or rumours).

    Yeah, those are valid points, and definitely where Trump is in "the danger zone" (cue Top Gun soundtrack). I see a MASSIVE conflict of interest already, and knowing Trump, it is likely to only get worse. If I had any impact, that is definitely what I would be focusing on when it comes to him (btw, he has stock in the company behind the Standing Rock debacle, and the government is spending tax dollars to protect that company ... right there we see a very disturbing conflict of interest, no? Let alone all this crap with his kids, him not putting his business in a blind trust, etc).
