The Constitution is not written in Latin. It’s the government founding document written by, for and about The People. If you read the DoI and the Constitution the overarching principle is the Liberty of The People -which only belongs to citizens.
Was there one person in 2016 who could have replaced this man?
No.
The fact that he was a (mere) citizen and overcame the cheat intended to give the grifter couple another turn at the wheel was the very reason they came after him, with the full force of the then sitting president, the vice president, the CIA, the FBI, and most of the upper echelon of the United States government, of both parties.
Yet, that citizen survived, did not commit suicide, did not suffer a heart attack, and every single charge thrown at him proved to be lie. EVERY SINGLE ONE!
That citizen did in fact do more for this country than any sitting president before him.
It was squandered, and reversed, not because it was good or bad, but because it was fostered by, and set into motion, by him.
The "government" is virtually and in a most real sense, tried to, and is still in the process of, completely canceling him, his endeavors, and his fame, fortune, and sacred honor.
King george was a piker compared to what has been used against this, this citizen.
I, for one do not think of him as a king, a ruler, a government henchman, or director, or dictator.
He is just a man, a citizen, who loves his country, and at this time, I see no other person stepping up, willing to put it up, one more time, for the sake of the country, and not for his personal gain.
Your mileage may vary. We shall see how it shakes out.
