During an episode of The Court of History podcast, Michael Luttig explained that he was reading the 27 grievances, a list from the Declaration of Independence of particular problems Americans had with King George III.

“I set about to understand each and every grievance in its fullness, and I did,” Luttig said. “And when I came to the end of that process, analytical, intellectual process, and I stepped back and looked at the 27 grievances, I instantly thought to myself, ‘Oh my god. Oh my god.'”

The grievances include complaints about King George, like that he “refused…the most wholesome and necessary for the public good,” “called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant…for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance,” and “endeavoured to prevent the population of these States…obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners.”

Luttig was stunned when reading them because of how much they reminded him of Trump.

“Not only is almost each and every one of these 27 grievances a grievance that Americans have against this president today,” Luttig said. “But Americans have today far more and more consequential grievances today against this president.”

The former judge compared Trump’s tariffs to one of the grievances that said “King George had levied taxes but not allowed those taxes to redound to the benefit of the American colonists,” Luttig said, describing it.

“It went on and on and on in astonishing parallel to the acts of this President of the United States,” Luttig said. “What Donald Trump wants for America in the future, that will be the end of America as it was founded 250 years ago.”
