Donald Trump “understood that he got power when he was elected, but didn’t understand that he had obligations,” presidential historian Timothy Naftali said Friday of Trump’s indictment for mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House.

“We live in a Constitutional democracy. Everybody, including the president, is bound by the Constitution and there are limits to their power,” Naftali, the former director of the Richard Nixon presidential library, told “CNN This Morning.

Constitutional democracy? And this guy is a historian. How can he be a historian when he didn’t show up for class on the day they taught history?

The Dims hated Nixon ever since he almost single handedly took down their communist spy, Alger Hiss.

Until Trump came along I thought there'd never be anybody else the Dims hated more than Nixon.

“...he was elected, but didn’t understand that he had obligations...”

I call BS on that!!

Trump got busy and addressed his campaign promises and about succeeded in reaching ALL of them. It’s why he was elected and WHY his supporters don’t accept all the criticism he gets!!

“We live in a Constitutional democracy.”

We live in a Representative Republic founded on and guided by the Constitution.

What BS from this “historian”. He, like many so called Republicans, know this is a political hit job and nothing more, but are trying to give the indictment credibility.

The Biden Crime Syndicate made tens of millions of dollars and sold out the country to Red China. Not a peep.

Trump has an unpaid parking ticket and gets indicted.

We are so far gone. This indictment is our Rubicon.

The DOJ refuses to identify the specific “classified” document that Trump is charged with “mishandling,” and has stated that it will never be identified.

They know they have no case. We know they have no case. They know we know they know they have no case.

What else they know is that if Donald John Trump becomes President again many of them will be indicted for actual documented crimes they have committed.

They will assassinate Trump or start first-strike false-flag nuclear war before they let that happen.

Yes it comes down to one thing. The President has the authority to declassify documents .... and did so, prior to leaving office. Thus, no crime. No crime then no conspiracy.

[[ but didn’t understand that he had obligations,”]]

But he did understand that a president can declassify documents and take them with him- vice presidents don’t have that same privilege- yet biden took how many classified documents again Naftali?

Anybody else remember that one thing the Dims wanted to also sink President Nixon for was trying to weaponize the IRS against his political opponents. Not succeeding, just trying. Now it's something Demoroids do all of the time.

What an intellectually insulting post. Never heard of this so called historian. Huffington Post is a garbage left wing rag.

"...We live in a Constitutional democracy..."

What a horse's ass. We live in a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. There is a difference.

If this ignorant POS wants to blather and pontificate, he should understand this point.

So why doesn’t that apply to Biden? Hillary? Obama? Billy?

Oh wait… “justice” and “obligations” only goes one way here.

Get bent. I will no longer suffer these fools and morons.
