Trump didn't destroy Democracy, but he certainly TRIED TO DO IT, by behaving in an authoritarian manner, by spreading hatred against his critics and detractors, by refusing to tolerate anyone in his own administration who dared to oppose him, or disagree with him, or just plain contradict him. Furthermore, he had contempt for the United States Constitution, as evident by his suggestion that he could be elected to a third term as President, even though the 22nd Amendment (ratified in 1951) limits the President to only two four-year terms. (ironically, the 22nd Amendment was the idea of the REPUBLICANS, who didn't like the idea of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a DEMOCRAT, being elected President four times!)
Not only that, but Trump even once said that he'd like to be PRESIDENT-FOR-LIFE, even though a) nothing in the Constitution allows it, and b) ruling over a country for life is tantamount to being a DICTATOR! That's the way it was with Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, and Idi Amin of Uganda. (in fact, Amin insisted that he be referred to as "Field Marshal President-For-Life Dr. Idi Amin Dada"; talk about a mouthful!)
Trump further showed his disregard for the Constitution by a) promoting the outrageous idea that to be against him was the same as being against the United States of America itself, b) vilifying the media, accusing it of spreading "f**e news" (read: news reports that criticized him or his policies), calling it "evil" and "the enemy of the people," and planning to use the libel laws to intimidate Anti-Trump newspapers into silence, c) trying to concentrate all the powers of the Government in his hands alone, which would upset the balance of power and the checks and balances that have kept the Government from becoming a full-fledged totalitarian state, d) advocating for extralegal methods of dealing with accused criminals and political/racial r****rs (like the ones responsible for last summer's destruction and unrest), including summary executions without giving the suspects a chance for a fair trial, which would violate the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, and e) generally trying to give the impression that he was always right, and that those who said otherwise were either "losers" or "t*****rs"!
That is exactly the same attitude of all tyrants, despots, and dictators! If Trump were reelected last November, he would have been in a position to further undermine the Constitution, and thus destroy our heritage of freedom.
