At times Trump sounds like a Republican. But on many occasions he sounds more like a staunch Democrat, thus the reason he was not my first, second, third, fourth...seventeenth choice. At least he filled his cabinet with Conservatives. He does seem to be patterning himself after his predecessor on many things. I didn't think the Constitution would be one of those gripes though.

The left is going nuts on this one...I suggest anyone interested see the entire interview.

He's frustrated over the childish games that Congress plays with the rules...can't blame him.

Don't worry lefties, Trump won't change the Constitution. (that many of you hate anyway)

The Constitution is probably bad for the country. It is almost certainly good for crime and criminals. 

Being good for the country wasn't why it was drafted however.  It was written for individual rights and freedoms, not for what was good for the country.

So let's elect a king.     Benevolent rulers have proved to be the most effective

Is that really what you extrapolated from TVC's post? The framers of the Constitution where vehemently against benevolent rulers, thus framed the Constitution to give more rights to the people instead of the government. Please clarify you post... with examples...of who these effective benevolent rulers are. I have a feeling I'm somehow missing your intent, because my initial reading of your post can only lead me to believe this was some sort of attempt at sarcasm...but I don't get it.

Trump's comment is a prime example of why the press loves him.  He supplies them with story after story.  This particular comment was way up there on the dumb meter.  If not for The Constitution, he wouldn't be president.  

As for electing a king, we did that in 2008 & 2012.  Didn't work out.

The current and future king of the world is the Pope.

They are effective...they just seem to leave out that little detail called freedom.

Think I'll pass...I actually think the dems would prefer a king.
