Let's hope displaying an original Magna Carta publically in the US inspires resistance against the Trump regime.

well, it will certainly inspire resistance by the Trump regime

Which itself could inspire resistance to it. Especially if the displaying of the Magna Carta doesn't officially have anything to do with Trump (which it does not).

Hmmm, I'm thinking the UK should ask for it back.

There are several "originals" of the Magna Carta. This is only one of them. The British library has two.

Why would it? You already have your own import documents to inspire you, and no one's doing anything

I'm not American. I'm hoping to inspire Americans with my comments. There are people doing something. There's 50501, for example.
