Can someone tell me why Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy/republic?

You're misunderstanding them when they say this. They aren't talking about our democracy that we love as founded in 1776. They're talking about their democracy, as they would like the country to be.

They're intentionally hoping to confuse people into thinking they're talking about "our democracy" in the same manner as we view it, but they don't see it as the original founding fathers envisioned it at all.

He's a threat to the Deep State, which is why they're trying to destroy him.

Many reasons, not the least of which was how he showed what the economy can do once unleashed, and he was just getting started. This in turn gives freedom to the people rather than the over lords. He shamed their star: Obama

I’m kind of curious why he took classified documents as he returned to civilian life. I don’t really see the point of it. He isn’t anymore, and classified documents aren’t something that should be in the possession of somebody outside of a functioning government official with proper security clearance.

Do you not keep up with anything and still get to vote? Where are the unclassified documents? I’m mean gosh damn y’all will run with anything without it being backed up.

I surely hope this is satirical because if not and you don’t see the irony beating you in the face here then you’re too dumb to be posting on this site

What "classified documents" did he take? Other than what the news has leaked what insight do you have into what these "classified documents" even are?

Define “classified documents”.

Was it a memo of him and Macron talking?

Maybe he said “If i lose the next election you guys are going to pay cause russia will invade Ukraine and screw your energy sector up.”

The facts are:

Anything can be “classified”.

He may even have issued the classification.

We have no idea, WAPO has no idea, the FBI has no idea, it is wild, blatant speculation, upon party lines at this point.

Had Trump stolen and sold Nuclear Secrets to LIV golf, hed be swinging from a gowels by now. So let it unfold and pass.

Ask yourself? What policy would i like my government to set for me.

I guess it's the fact that he tried to overthrow the US government and install puppet regime with him as the president. That would be the primary threat along with many minor threats that he has posed to the people of this country.

Well that’s what I’d like to know, and I assume that is what this investigation is about.

I know Trump is claiming that he has declassified all of the documents in his possession, but if they were sensitive government material he still had no business possessing them. I also don’t necessarily buy the “I declassified them” defense. He had made comments about declassifying documents related to the Mueller investigation, but that is not the whole of documents he would have had access to. In addition, a former president doesn’t have authority to declassify government information retroactively. Also, if there are highly sensitive documents among what he took, why? What business does a former president have with government secrets once they’re out of office.
