    Yeah, the federalist papers go a little “we need a monarch but let’s not call it that.” Hamilton openly called for a president for life, was terrified of immigrants, great at saying one thing and doing another, and getting triggered enough to straight up lie about his political opponents. He also designed a system to give himself unfettered access to America’s finances.

    Dude would have loved Trump.
