Our founding fathers were not just wise and learned, they were a rough , ready and rowdy bunch who believed the best system was one where there was constant tension and competition between the various arms of government make sure the truth came out and no one group ever was able to consolidate enough power to gain dictatorial control of the system.
Our founding fathers would applaud Trump for calling the press out for it's lies and anti Americanism.
Most would have cheered if Trump challenged Chuck Todd to a duel for his dishonorable lies and would have fought among themselves for the honor to be his second in the duel.
All would have shown up at dawn and cheered when Trump put a well aimed round right through Todd's chest on the field of honor and then retired to a well appointed breakfast to celebrate Todd's demise.
Duels can only be fought between gentlemen. F. Chuck Todd is no gentleman.
