This shows a 'loss for words' by everyone. :( :( :(
With this said, I'll step out and take some time to try to figure all this out (as if whatever I deduce will be relevant)

"Your article supplies lots of "opinions" derived from one sentence? There was no mention of Sharia in the question asked of Trump, yet you twist it into this?"

My point was that Trump, in the interview, was focused on the Carson question and answered badly because of it, like misspeaking. I do not believe that Trump does not understand that the POTUS is supposed to uphold and defend the Constitution.

You see, it doesn't actually matter if there's any truth to the claim, the goal is to create an absurd hurricane wind of inbound attacks driven with increasing ferocity by the corporate media who will demand the candidate to respond.

"Eric Bolling of Fox News asked Trump: "Would you want the president or a candidate to say, 'I will promise to uphold the Constitution over the Sharia law'?" Trump replied: "Well, I think it's an argument I don't want to get into, it's not my argument, so it's an argument that I won't get into."
That is a very disconcerting answer, to put it mildly. Is it possible that Trump (at the time of the interview) didn't know what Sharia Law was, and avoided answering because he didn't want to show his ignorance? But even if that's true, a safe answer would've been "as President, I'd be swearing to uphold the Constitution, period."

[...LET me inject here -that the way the moderators were constantly pushing for a continuing FAST pace, that Trump, with little/no time to give a lot of thought for a quick response - - -didn't think to quickly say.......
"......as President, I'd be swearing to uphold the Constitution, period." ]

"Oh for God's sake. Trump probably didn't want to make an off the cuff remark about a legal question he's unsure of. Nobody knows the answer to every question they get asked. If Trump answers wrong the press will skewer him for it. It does not mean he wants Sharia law."
