if they could see all of this. Especially the Trump presidential crime spree. They would be awestruck, of course, but what would they think of this thoroughly abominable halfwit sitting in the highest office in the land? You know, this presidency of his reminds me of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, when the crowd chooses by acclimation the ugliest peasant to be the king of their Mardi Gras. That's what Trump is. An evil Quasimodo. And going back to the Founders, I think they would just say we are all mad. But it would be sensory overload for them, I think.
