Trump Thread

Trump's presidency has highlighted the need to repeal the 17th amendment. His control over the base has left him free of oversight from Congress, as he threatens his own party members with primary actions if they disagree with him. Switching back to senatorial selection by the state governments would remove the populist effect from the equation, leaving at least one house of Congress free to oppose the president without fear of reprisal.

At the start of his term, I was 50-50 on whether he was truly under Putin's influence. Now I'm 100% sure he is fully compromised. And if Trump wasn't so stupid and lazy it could have been worse, imagine someone more subtle, and capable of paying attention during security council meetings.
