"Trust me" doesn't cut it. At all.

[Bouncy Ball]

The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution the way they did partially because they were sick and tired of "trust me" from kings and tyrants.

The president cannot just say "trust me" and have everyone go "oh well, ok, in that case."

No. The president takes an oath to uphold, preserve and defend the Constitution, and he is subject to the system of checks and balances the Founding Fathers put in place so that NO ELECTED LEADER COULD GET AWAY WITH JUST SAYING "TRUST ME."

When that person VIOLATES the oath they took by violating the Constitution, consequences must be at hand. Those guys must be spinning in their graves, constantly.

I would say the same thing about and to a Democratic president, as well, if THEY did the same thing!

Anyone who just says they should just "trust" the president must hate the Constitution, must hate the system of checks and balances, must hate what the Founding Fathers did!

"Trust me" was never ever meant to be a channel of power in this country, ever. Trust that I'll uphold the oath I took if and until I prove that I didn't, yeah. But just carte blanche "trust me?" That is the thing of kings and tyrants. And that is the very thing our Founding Fathers were trying to escape and make sure it never happened here.

"Trust me" is for shit.
