To be fair, Lincoln jailed hundreds of antiwar northern newspaper editors without trial for years.  Washington turned the army on Pennsylvania farmers resisting the federal liquor tax.  FDR interned 100,000 Japanese Americans just based on their national origin.  Only Congress has the constitutional right to declare war, and that has been ignored since WWII.  Asset seizures are blatantly unconstitutional ... it is a long list.  The USA has been a shameless empire since WWII, with an imperial president, and several secret police agencies.  I guess it is nice to (maybe) have a good emperor once and awhile.  Dictators are very likeable when they are doing things you like, but the next one could be a radical Marxist.   I would be a lot happier to see the constitutional republic restored, with equal application of the criminal code to all citizens, not just the peasants.  If DJT can do that, he would deserve the biggest monument in USA history.
