A) a thoroughly corrupt President flaunting all laws and enriching himself personally beyond the limits of human imagination

B) A Congress that sits idly by, turning over essentially all of its power to this one corrupt man

C) A judicial system that is largely trying to uphold the Constitution, but keeps running into a Supreme Court that never met the Constitution.

D) a "free press" commonly referred to in founder times as "The Fourth Estate" that was envisioned as the ultimate backstop for the people to maintain control over their government, but the majority of that "Estate" is owned by a small cohort of fascists that are using the levers of government to funnel the wealth of the nation directly into their pockets.

They most certainly would not be surprised by A). That's why they set up Congress, the courts, and the press as safeguards to prevent ever having a person act like a king.

Regarding B), C), and D), I think they would be horrified by all three, but probably most disappointed in the Supreme Court and the media.
