Donald Trump blames constitution for chaos of his first 100 days (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/29/trump-blames-constitution-for-first-100-days-chaos-presidency)
QuoteOn his 100th day in office on Saturday, facing historically low popularity ratings, a succession of intractable foreign crises and multiple investigations of his links with Moscow, Donald Trump reminded the nation that 1 May was Loyalty Day.
The day is a US tradition dating back to the cold war, when it was a bolster to stop May Day becoming a rallying point for socialists and unionised workers, but for an embattled president learning politics on the job it has an added resonance.
In an interview with Fox News to mark the 100-day mark, he declared himself "disappointed" with congressional Republicans, despite his many "great relationships" with them.
He blamed the constitutional checks and balances built in to US governance. "It's a very rough system," he said. "It's an archaic system ... It's really a bad thing for the country."
You know, if there's one good thing about the Trump administration, it's that it proves that we still have a system of checks and balances within our government that works to prevent total tyranny. So of course a petty tyrant like Trump doesn't like it and blames it for the problems within his administration rather than blaming himself.
And as far as those first 100 days go, he certainly has a lot to be embarrassed about, having broken 80 promises in those 100 days (https://thinkprogress.org/donald-trumps-100-days-of-broken-promises-a4c116bbb2b4).
But of course, it isn't his fault. It's those dang "checks and balances"!
Yet another nail in the coffin for the limited government 'libertarians' who voted his ass into office. But of course they'll defend him regardless of what he does/doesn't do because he's 'their guy.' Just like the Obamatons did for Obama.

Sadly, you're right: they've gone full 'akk!
