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

“The late, great Thomas Jefferson, one of our most important Founding Fathers, and a principal writer of the Constitution of the United States, is being ‘evicted’ from the magnificent New York City Council Chamber.”

Jefferson is the principle author of the Declaration of Independence. Apparently Trump is unaware they are two different documents

How can anyone take anything this guy says as "serious"? Between #45 and a bag of hammers not sure which bag is smarter.

@black4white to he's right sometimes, like this time.
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense NO ...he lies about everything and anything
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white Jefferson was involved in the writing of the Constitution, Jefferson is being taken down as a hero, it signals a death for America-. Trump's right.

@Stopmakingsense and what country are you from again please?
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white whatever.
@Stopmakingsense Sorry, I can't find the country of "Whatever" on the map. Could you help us dolts by pointing it out on a map please?
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense So if you are so embarrassed or ashamed or whatever your reason is to not say to say what country you are from ...please dont start with the your country is dying BS...thank you
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white it's none of your business. I'm in the USA. It's not relevant. You're a snide one.
You sound like a suicidal American. America is suicidal on behalf of all humanity,! As is your privilege.
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense Wait now... there is no need for name calling and BTW if you dont like this country please feel free to leave..not being mean just factual.
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white whatever. It's always going to be about me for some people. In the USA, government policy is usually opposed to what the majority of the public wants. That's just not true of all countries. You said Trump can't be taken seriously, but he's hugely powerful in your country. Why do you stay? You should be mortified.
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense I am mortified that people believe the bs this guy says YES!!!
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white but when he hits on an important truth, you lie about that.
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense NOT at all.... have you ever heard of taking the truth out of context? I can hit points of truth about anything and make it sound right
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white the nation Jefferson helped invent is dying. That's why the statue is offensive now and needs to come down. We already attacked Trump. What about the death of America? Will you be having a Constitutional Convention? How should America reinvent itself?

Laughing at Trump? Nothing else?
This is anti politics.

@Stopmakingsense Sooo ok so i feel what you are saying but i am saying this...USA is fucking an awesome country ..PERIOD!!!! thats why so many people migrate here (including yourself)
One person does not define what we have here...whether it be Jefferson or #45 or anyone else. IS USA dying..nnaahhhh do we have set backs..YES!!! but what country doesnt. Like i said you are MORE than welcome to leave here and go back to your own home country and thats ok BUT before you go just know that this country is much stronger than any statue.
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white I didn't migrate here. Both sides of my family were removed from their ancestral homelands in genocides. My first husband had both sides of his family removed from their homelands in two different genocides-. That's four places that we can't return to. America sucked up the people others removed. We did not make it happen.
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense And i am sorry to hear that... but nothing is making you stay here if you are so unhappy with this country. THATS all i am saying.
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@black4white nothing? Nothing stopping me? There's no right to return anywhere. This country arms Israel and the EU and strong arms everyone to make sure. But it's "nobody's fault" that the population is too busy to reign in its owners. Nobody can open the world if American people forget our history for us.
black4white · 56-60, M
@Stopmakingsense but once again...NOTHING is making you stay in USA... there are well over 150 other countries that you can choose to go. Once again.. i am sorry about your homeland but there are other places besides good ole USA to go :-). OR do you want to be a part of a dying country as you say

[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?
