Whoopi: Donald Trump Was A Sign Sent To Show America What Needed Fixing

[Ubiquitous]

Whoopi Goldberg suggested on Thursday that former President Donald Trump was
sent to the United States as a sign to show the people where the problems
were and what needed to be fixed.

Goldberg made the assessment during a conversation on ABC’s midday talk show
“The View,” arguing that in recent years a lot of “weird stuff has been
happening,” and she believed that some of those weird things were meant to
highlight real problems.

Goldberg began by saying that her real concern was the fact that no one was
even talking about finding a way to prevent Trump from continuing his
presidential campaign even if he were to be convicted and sentenced to time
in prison.

“What really is making me – what really is starting to freak me out – is the
idea that we’re not even discussing changing the Constitution to make it say
you cannot be in jail and be the president,” she said.

“My fear – I’m a big fan of amendments,” Goldberg continued, as the others
voiced their support for a constitutional amendment that would address that
particular issue. “I feel like unless we start to plug these holes, this is
going to keep biting us in the behind. You know, it really is going to take
the people saying hey, listen, because if I can’t vote when I come out of
jail, why can you … be president?”

“Amendments are very American,” cohost Sunny Hostin agreed.

Hostin went on to say that she believed the Constitution was a living,
breathing document – largely because she claimed the men who wrote it could
not have foreseen things like cell phones and AR-15s – and that it certainly
made sense to update it in her mind.

“It has to grow with the country,” Goldberg added, saying, “But what has
happened is – I know this is really weird but I’ve been having strange
thoughts. What I think has happened for us as a nation is over the past ten
years, weird stuff has been happening in the country to show us where the
problems are.”

“I think the fact that we have this situation now with You-Know-Who is there
to tell us, hey, y’all have a problem,” she said.

[Whoopie is correct, but not in the way she thinks.]

Why do people constantly says this, as if the people of that era, particularl
the most intelligent ones, had no ability to imagine the future?

"The Founders never could have imagined an AR-15."

*We* can do that now. We made a show 50+ years ago called STAR TREK tha
imagined a fantastical day when people could carry communication devices i
their pocket and now we have iPhones.

We're constantly imagining technology, including weapons tech, that eventuall
comes to pass. Someday there *will* be a phaser-like weapon but we have th
ability to imagine one *now* when such tech is still beyond our abilities. Wh
is it taken as an article of faith that the men of the 1780s couldn't conceiv
of the possibility of a better gun than a musket?

Not to mention that there actually *were* semi-automatic firearms in the lat
1700s, so we don't even have to suppose if the Founders could have imagine
them. They *existed*:

The Belton repeater was a high capacity flintlock studied
by the Continental Army. In 1776, Belton wrote to Congress
explaining how he'd designed a way to make a musket discharge
up to eight rounds in three seconds.
