As an autocrat and a wouldbe tyrant -- Trump is also a failure. He has engaged the legal machinery of the United States Constitution on many fronts to "rise up" and defeat him.
He is in violation of the emoluments clause -- because he is a self-proclaimed "successful businessman" he claims that he can still make lots of money off of his position with his hotels, golf courses, and branding exercises. His private business portfolio is not distinct from his office. Even giving nominal control of Trump Enterprises to his children, he further crosses the line(s) on the emoluments clause because "his children" are all a part of his administration at the highest level. He is complicit to "cheating on the emoluments clause" in more than one way -- first on his own (peddling favors or influence for future or current business deals); second by forcing foreign governments and our own government to "meet and greet" and "negotiate" issues of state at Trump's own hotels, resorts, or golf clubs; third he holds the security forces of the US "hostage" by forcing the government to "rent" space from his properties to secure safety for Trump, his family, and for all their lavish travel and vacationing. On the emoluments clause --- Trump is a crooked businessman.
Now as to his "stealing the election" of 2016 -- that will never be proven conclusively. But what is obvious is that there was "collusion" to steal the election, and then a ridiculous and amateur attempt to cover up or "obstruct" the Mueller, Senate, and House investigations of the Trump campaign's, transition's, and early days of his Presidency (just before and after his inauguration) contacts with the Russians. Who was he colluding with? Was it Putin himself, or Russian hackers spreading disinformation and lies (which continue now through Trump himself) about Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and everyone and everything that casts doubts of Trump, his policies, his lifestyle, or what-have-you.
Trump is also in violation of basic decency. He has attacked Gold Star Parents, "heroes" within his own party, women, other Republicans, his own staff, his former wives, his former partners, and everyone else. He is still attacking Hillary Clinton, trying to claim that while she got all the breaks from the FBI -- he is getting unequal and unfair scrutiny. Leaving out the fact that Trump is amoral,
guilty of many cultural and moral failings, and probably a sociopathic criminal as well -- he is also a spoiled little bully with no discernible moral compass. For him -- lies are truth, and truth is always up to his own interpretation. In most every way Trump is a "total loser" as a human being -- to coin a phrase.
And so -- all of you, must continue without ceasing, to RESIST!
