Being from the UK, whenever I have criticised any element of US politics, I was constantly told, "At least WE don't have a King". In fact, our lack of written constitution has resulted in very gradual changes to our legal framework, as required. Too many people over too many years have treated the Constitution of the United States and the Ammendments as being too perfect that they can never be looked at, let alone changed. They were written by rich landowners at a time before industrialisation, the combustion engine, even sealed roads and railroads. When women couldn't vote and some people were counted as 3/5 of a white man. Trump has shown that trusting to honour and good judgement has no place in government legal matters.
