I think the United States is the brightest beacon of liberty in the world and Trump is making it brighter. The Statue of Liberty, the American flag and Trump himself flash on the placards of the Hong Kong protesters, for instance, as they protest in the shadow of Chinese totalitarianism. — NOS4A2

No. You manifestly don't. I suspect you have no idea what they are. Those principles are not only expressed in the founding documents, but were sharpened and refined in an astonishing national discussion.
