When our founding fathers signed the Constitution in 1789 their most important issue was ensuring that America never had a king, and second that it would never be controlled by a single religion. Every man who signed our nation’s most cherished document despised the monarchy; believing that all men are created equal and one man must never be allowed to rule over the citizens of a nation; he or she must serve them. In 2016, millions of ignorant voters gifted Trump with the Electoral College. He has become “the man who would be king.”

Trump believes he is above the law and has displayed this arrogant attitude throughout his life. He is being aided by a group of cowards who call themselves the “Republican Party.”

Let’s discuss his next effort to play king; it’s important. Most Americans do not understand the value of the Decennial Census. Established in 1789 at the Constitutional Convention, and conducted by Thomas Jefferson, this effort to count every man woman and child living in America is not for the benefit of our government. Its value belongs to every American.

I worked for the Census Bureau during the 2010 Census. The first thing I learned, and the most important benefit of the task we were given is that for each individual counted $10,000 dollars is returned to the states from the federal government. This provides the funding for the construction of schools, roads, hospitals, and other vital projects.

Trump is a racist and has no understanding or concern regarding the value of the Census. His goal is to deport every Hispanic in America. His demand that one new question be added to the census form will diminish the purpose of the Census, and certainly produce inaccurate results.

Trump stated that because the courts decided that placing a “citizenship question” on the form is unconstitutional, he will sign an executive order in direct opposition to the law of the land. King Trump is a disgusting, arrogant, and useless man who must be impeached.

I could go on for another 500 words, but let me just say this. Every American should refuse to answer this one question. Although the law requires completion of the form, no one has been punished since 1977. If everyone ignores this one question, no one can be singled out for punishment.

We must depose King Trump. He is unfit to wear the label of President of the United States.
