Donald Trump claims Thomas Jefferson was the principle author of the Constitution - Thoughts

Aw, thanks! 🤙

@Stopmakingsense
[quote]Jefferson was involved in the writing of the Constitution[/quote]

In what way?

He did not attend the Convention. He did not help write [i]The Federalist Papers[/i].

I think you are confusing the [i]Declaration of Independence[/i] with the [i]Constitution[/i]...

If you say that his thoughts & works influenced the latter through Madison, the actual primary author, that would make sense.

"Next up, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and, of course, George Washington," he wrote. "The Radical Left has gone crazy, and it's hurting our Country badly—But someday soon, sane people will be back, and our country will be respected again." Trump

Do you know who gets respected? Educated people who know our nation's history. Maybe if Trump wasn't so busy attempting a coupe on our government he would have more time to actually learn something. He is an embarrassment and anyone who backs this loser is equally moronic and morally bankrupt.

[quote]it's none of your business. I'm in the USA. It's not relevant.[/quote]

Actually, since you go on and on about our Presidents and our history, etc., it IS relevant, but you said you are "in" the USA.

Are you a US citizen?

@independentone still wrong, aren't you? Jefferson was in on the writing of the Constitution, Trump is correct.

@Stopmakingsense

Jefferson did not write the U.S. Constitution. He was in France at the time of the Constitutional convention. He did, however, write the Declaration of Independence. James Madison is known as the chief architect of the Constitution. 🙂

@Graylight 😊

You know, DJT could have walked...wait, who am *I* kidding?...he could have taken a golf cart over to the National Archives and checked out some of that document...

@SomeMichGuy You'd think anyone who loves the document so much would do just that.

@Graylight I have seen it a few times...the Declaration...Perot's copy of the [i]Magna Carta[/i]...

Goosebumps.

@AbbySvenz so?

@AbbySvenz But they do have something in common: paying for sex.

@AbbySvenz But when Trump was in France, it was the best "in France" of ANY President, ever; just ask him! 😉😆

@softspokenman Careful now... you will have some people come to tell you its true... LMAO

@black4white It wouldn't be the first time, probably say that I was being 'mean and unfair just to make him look bad for the election'.

@softspokenman He said it, didn't he?

All you have to the contrary is fake news from non believers and " blind Trump haters".

Obviously you're a commie, or a socialist, RINO, etc.

Insert sarcasm emoji, but it's really kind of sad that millions of Americans have rejected thousands of years of civilization in favor of believing in whatever the hell Trump says.

@whippersnapper Sadly...true.

@whippersnapper These are people trying to demonstrate how metal sticks to them and - given a choice between an anti-parasitic and a tested vaccine - have no hesitancy in choosing the former.

@SomeMichGuy It disestablished the Church of England but set up the licensing process. The devil always is in the details, and licensing authorities continued to be restrictive in who they licensed to preach. And there is historical evidence of more than one unlicensed preacher -- most frequently Primitive Baptist "Messengers" as they were called, since they were abolitionists -- being arrested and jailed. And at least one incident in which a lynch mob set fire to the jail while the unlicensed preacher was still incarcerated. Although I will acknowledge it is not the only reason he left. As a Revolutionary War veteran who survived that winter at Valley Forge, he was entitled to land grants in what became southwestern Pennsylvania.

@dancingtongue Hmmm...the statute does not set up licensing, but terms of licenses and jailing of Baptists for either not having valid licenses or for violating the terms of them is mentioned in the pre-Statute period at

[i]https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/baptists-in-colonial-virginia/[/i]

In fact, Baptists and Presbyterians were part of why the Statute passed.

I'll dig more to see if, at that time, there is a parallel regulatory code in Virginia, etc.

@SomeMichGuy Would appreciate hearing anything you discover.

@Northwest Yeah... the school his Dad paid his way into and out of... LMAO

@MikeQ

@Neman1622
Most people are not well versed on history

@Stopmakingsense What country are you from or reside in and call home?

@black4white whatever. My view of American history is too deep. The other people here really don't know US history.

@Stopmakingsense You are a fool.

@Stopmakingsense Trump must be happy to have you defend him with your 'cogent' arguments

Instead of articulating yourself and supplying evidence, all you do is spam "whatever", say people are wrong, and are probably foaming at the mouth behind the screen lol kind funny but sad too

@independentone without living immigrants it will die. With no national health care, it's death will be fast. Denial is still killing it.

@Stopmakingsense The country had a chance at National Health Care after WWII but chose against it. Sadly, it may be too late now to change.

@BackyardShaman but he's correct.
You're wrong.
