From Garrett Graff at [Doomsday Scenario][post]:

> Just months short of the nation’s 250th birthday, Donald Trump is close to
> batting a thousand at speed-running the very abuses of power that led to the
> Founders to write the Declaration of Independence in the first place. [Does
> any of this sound familiar][l1]:
>
> * He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the
>   public good.
> * For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and
>   altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments
> * He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent
>   of our legislatures.
> * He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
>   Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
> * He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to
>   Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
> * He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and
>   waging War against us.
> * For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world
> * For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent
> * For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury
> * For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
