9 ways Trump has shredded US institutions (He says it like it's a BAD thing)

(CNN)Attorney General William Barr told CBS that he sees "no evidence" that his boss, President Donald Trump, is "shredding our institutions." In fact, Barr argued, it's actually the backlash to Trump that's challenging the country's system of government.

That's a creative interpretation from a man who is becoming famous for creative interpretations. Just like Barr's interpretation of special counsel Robert Mueller's report -- no obstruction of justice charges, so case closed -- it lays no blame or culpability at Trump's feet, and completely ignores how the President has invited fights with the other branches of government and repeatedly tested the balance of power.

There's a reason why people are routinely using the term "constitutional crisis" in the Trump era. Everything Trump does seems designed to stress the system, stoke conspiracy theories and divide the country.

Here are a few examples of how the President has challenged US institutions:

Trump has alleged voter fraud where there was none, spreading mistrust of US elections

Trump is halfway through his term, and he apparently remains convinced that millions of people voted illegally -- and that they all opposed him. There's no evidence to back this up, but that hasn't kept him from using the government to chase ghosts and investigate it.

Our institutions were turned against US by the Kenyan from Indonesia.

The Constitution said he couldn’t be President.
Too bad ALL of our elected and appointed refused to uphold it.

The failing CNN I might add. ;’}

They really hate Barr. He must be goooooood.

Pray for AG Barr’s continued good health, and we will get to the bottom of a bunch of stuff.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Frankly, at this point CNN is just stupid.

In the same way as everyone laughed at Tokyo Rose. That level of stupid.

[Ndorfin]

CNN? Is that still a thing?

[Frank_2001]

Ballot harvesting IS fraudulent! And don’t even get me started about thousands of Rat ballots that always magically appear after the polls close!

[LibertyWoman]

I’ve listened to AG Barr and I pray that we don’t wake up to a ‘breaking news’ segment that states that AG Barr was found dead in his bed and his pillow was over his face...

“Spreading mistrust of the elections”

Give me a break. Felonia Von Pantsuit has been screeching 24/7 for 2+ years now. Hell, Democrat voting fraud is legendary, in the 60s the rule of thumb was a Republican had to make up a million votes just to break even, something like that. Get Bent MFers

it's called motor voter and when illegals were allowed drivers license, they got to vote, illegally. This is not hard to understand...unless your CNN

Nixon won the election in 1960. That election was stolen from him in Cook County Illinois by the Daley Democrat machine. Nothing has changed.
