He can’t be president unless the constitution is amended.

Donald has said before that the Constitution should be suspended.

That'd be amazing.

Go from "deport all immigrants" to "immigrants for president".

It's entirely possible. The "deport all immigrants" thing won't apply to the ones working for Donald for minimum wage or any of his big donors' companies. Same with tariffs. There will be exceptions for the ones who pay to play.

Hold on - could this whole thing just be a very roundabout way of him getting out of having to pay his mexican gardening staff?

Can't pay you if you're deported!

Deport the immigrants and replace them with Tesla robots.

Who, ironically, will be teleoperated by people in Mexico because they're cheaper to hire.

If they get rid of the ban on foreign nationals being president, Arnold Schwarzenegger would definitely run. He could pick his ticket with the political muscle he has behind him.

Naïve, Zed, naïve. The ban on foreign nationals being president will only be lifted for one specific individual. In the same way that presidential absolute immunity (including crimes committed when not in office) will only ever apply to one specific individual.

So this new defence secretary that Trump has picked sounds like an utter fruitloop. Fox news anchor, NATO sceptic, hasn't washed his hands in 10 years because he doesn't believe in germs because they can't be seen. Extremely out of his depth for the role.

I mean, is this remotely surprising?

Is this administration simply going to destroy itself from the inside, through utter incompetence, in-fighting, and back stabbing over who can suck up to Donald the most ? This is banana republic stuff.

Also, LOLing that he wrote a book about why he left the army. I bet his disciplinary record is, err, colourful, and was heading for a dishonourable discharge if he didn’t quit voluntarily. But he’s not bitter. A bitter person wouldn’t write an entire book about how unfair it is.

They'll be a tragedy of incompetence.

He’s also going nuts on education - strongly supporting home schooling and aiming to rip the higher education systems apart.

First 2min30 only of the video.

Jeez. Because Trump University was such a success first time around

Imagine what the religious notions would think if this video was made public

Stripping out education to the working classes has been a Repubican policy since Reagan was just a senator.

An educated working class is something Republicans fear, probably because an educated working class wouldn't vote for them
