    Not that I agree, but the logic is that the name is deceptive and they’re just against Trump I assume. Just like a “protect the children” act has nothing to do with protecting children. Names aren’t necessarily accurate.

      The name isn’t deceptive. It is deliberate.

      Yes, it is against Trump, but the reason is because Trump is behaving like a modern day, wannabe King/dictator.

        I know. I’m just saying the name being deliberate doesn’t mean it’s accurate. In this case I would say it is, but “the patriot act” is also deliberately chosen, but it’s deceptive.
