It's hard to understand Because he was against it before he was for it Because he plans on using the system to empower bigger government Because he plans on never allowing Republicans back in power Because he plans on abusing the system to target enemies as he did with IRS Because power corrupts, and now that he has it, he isn't about to let it go Because he had to claim to be on the people's side to get into office, then commence his destruction of America Because he's a LIAR.
