Re: “the president pledges to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution. PERIOD”

The video I just linked gives an idea of Donald Trump’s vision, in his own words, of how he planned to carry out the oath if elected.
My opinion is that progress has been made; it seems like very many steps... that lead to “winning”.
The undermining of freedom that has taken place here in the USA for more than 100 years cannot be overturned all at once...especially against a tidal wave of entrenched and highly financed opposition from all sides.
