"Sorry, but if your constitution was so great, and if your institutions were strong enough, this wouldn’t have happened."

What do you mean? What sort of institution should we have to prevent amoral people like Trump from running for president? How do you want our Constitution changed?

"By making this statement, I doubt you have ever made a study of other countries’ constitutions or Basic Laws, how they have re-written them to reflect the present times with their challenges and dangers."

Which country has a Constitution which is superior and has demonstrated that in the prosperous results which it has provided? And how would such a country make it illegal for the Trumps of the world to gain power?

I have a degree in political science and have written professionally on a full-time basis about international matters for 15 years now. You can certainly disagree with me but our disagreement is not because of my ignorance about these matters. It's because we have different moral values.
