Our Founding Fathers warned us about Trump and gave us impeachment to deal with him:

George Washington's warning about our current President:

.. Washington foresaw the possibility of foreign influence over the American political system. And he predicted “the rise of a president whose ego and avarice would transcend the national interest,” reports the Times.

As The Hill notes, Washington’s speech laid out the first president’s concerns about the potential for political parties to undermine America’s democracy. And Washington also warned that “cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men” would eventually rise to take advantage of the struggle for power between political parties.

John Adams warning:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. Oaths in this country are as yet universally considered as sacred obligations.”

James Madison's warning:

... James Madison worried about a future leader who would “ pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation” — an archaic term that refers to the theft of public funds — “or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers,” Madison predicted. Years later, critics of the Trump administration say that Madison and the other founding fathers gave us the option of impeachment for just such a president as Trump.

Madison, along with others who had a hand in drafting the Constitution, worried that without the option of impeachment, we “expose ourselves to the danger of seeing the first Magistrate [the president] in foreign pay without being able to guard against it by displacing him.”
