The New Declaration of Independence: From Trump

 



The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is fast approaching. The present dire state of the USA indicates that a new declaration is needed, against Trump and Trumpism. In the original declaration, the Founding Fathers laid most of the blame for the split from the Mother Country on George III. Careful analysis shows that much if not most of the blame in fact lay with Parliament, but focusing on the king made the argument for independence simpler. So, today let's KISS again. (Keep it Simple Stupid). 

The blame for the current mess in the US and much of the world lies at one man's door, and he lives at the White House and Mar a Lago The original Declaration of Independence, in the part few read today, listed a long series "repeated injuries and usurpations" designed to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world." 

The New Declaration of Independence from Trump and Trumpism, should contain a similar list of the injuries and usurpations he and his toadies have inflicted on these states, now 50 (not 51). I propose something like the following. Other ideas are welcome. 

He has made enemies of all traditional allies and friends.

He has repeatedly violated the Constitution, the laws, and the legal system.

He has violated international norms of diplomacy and human rights.

He has comforted the comfortable and afflicted the afflicted.

He is destroying one of the strongest economies on earth.

He has violated the norms of human morality.

He has brought the USA into global contempt.

He has praised and assisted the enemies of human freedom, decency, and democracy.

He is a felon, guilty of bribery and rape, probably tax evasion, extortion, and other crimes. 

He is destroying the fabric of American institutions, especially the legal system and those designed to advance education, health, and the general welfare. 

He has attacked and is attacking freedom of speech, opinion, and assembly. 


The glorious fourth -- again appears 
A day of days -- and year of years 
The sum of sad disasters 
Where all the mighty gains we see 
With all their boasted liberty 
Is only change of masters. 
Hannah Griffits, 1785
