When it comes to meeting the constitutional requirements to seek the nation’s highest office, Donald Trump appears to have all the boxes checked: He’s older than 35; he’s a natural born citizen, and he’s lived in the U.S. longer than 14 years.
But Secretary of State John Kerry has just introduced another qualification for the presidency, and it’s one that Trump doesn’t meet.
Although it’s not mentioned anywhere in Article 2 of the Constitution, the ability to accept the yoke of leftist groupthink is now a prerequisite for seeking the presidency. Specifically, all candidates must believe in — and confess their belief before Gaia and her followers — man-made climate change.
According to NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Kerry commented to her Tuesday that Trump, as well as others who make fun of global warming, aren’t fit to run for executive office.
From Downtrend:
Secretary of State John Kerry only wants people serving in government who subscribe to his particular flavor of environmental mythology.
Today, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell tweeted out the following: “.@JohnKerry to me re @realDonaldTrump & climate change deniers: they disqualify themselves from high public office with those statements”
Kerry’s statement is a response to a tweet issued by the Donald yesterday in which he noted that it was cold and “we could use a big fat dose of global warming!”
Remarkably, Kerry isn’t the only one who bit. “… Trump’s mocking got a harsh response from liberal media outlets,” The Daily Caller reports. “The liberal site Mother Jones ran with the headline “Donald Trump Still Does Not Understand How Seasons Work” and The Washington Post declared, “No, Donald Trump, the existence of fall does not disprove global warming.”
Trump’s tweet was a joke about the unseasonably cold weather that’s moved into the eastern U.S. — and it was also an obvious invitation to Democrats to stick their necks out for some Internet trolling.
Whatever you may think of him as a candidate, Trump has shown that there’s another way to play the political game — and it’s one that subverts every convention and unwritten rule about how the political class is supposed to behave within its own ranks.
We just hope Kerry’s comment doesn’t convince The Donald to drop out of the race because, suddenly, his views have rendered him unqualified.
If one thinks that giving away the farm, the tractor and the outhouse for a handful of beans is smart, then Lurch is a great negotiator as was the little fatso preceding him. He has given Iran all the nukes and all the money and has proven himself, as Obama has already, to be a traitorous liar.
If anyone knows how not to lead it’s Lurch.
John Kerry has brain damage from fragging himself in the ass repeatedly.
He should be in a home for the mentally deficient.
Communist sympathizers who lie to Congress about witnessing and participating in war crimes and meet with the enemy in a time of war to ‘negotiate’ are unqualified to be President or Secretary of State, too.
Kerry is so bo-toxed it’s noticeable and hilarious. What a vain freakin’ traitor who sold us out to Iran. Vain and nasty same as Obama. They both worship at their own alters.
At least Trump was not a traitor who met with North Vietnamese military to plan the killing of US soldiers in violation of our traitor and diplomacy laws. At least Trump didn’t lie about his service to steel others honor. He didn’t take his medals and throw them at out president during a time of was. Kerry is a traitor and should have gone to prison —not to Syria where the Russians have now humiliated him
Because Trump didn’t serve in Vietnam?
That this traitor is anywhere near a high level position in government never mind criticizing someone like Trump shows just how effed up priorities have fallen in this country. Why are we kissing the arses of people like Kerry when they should be all but banished, condemned like the enemies of freedom that they are? This Kerry is a bug, a low life piece of pig vomit and incredibly he’s making deals with Iran!
If everyone who believed CO2 is a dangerous pollutant would personally stop emitting it, the problem is solved overnight.
The botox is the least of it.
What about the surgical re-working of his jaw?
Here’s Ann Barnhardt’s writeup on it:

Does anybody care what John Kerry thinks?
Has he ever had a real Job?
Those medals that Kerry threw over the White House fence weren’t even his....they were some other guy’s.
Of course Kerry pretended those were HIS medals.
voice John Kerry thinks? Who knew? lol
Hey there are advantages to Botox
Kerry is meeting Lavrov today in Vienna to complain that the Russians are ruining Americas plan to forcibly remove Assad from Syria and replace him with a “ secular inclusive democratic government” composed of the sunni head choppers and civilian gassers we have been supporting.
At least when Lavrov laughs in his face and tells him to go f $&k himself, Kerry won’t show his hurt feelings.
Jean-Francois Kerre` is a fine one to be commenting on the qualifications of another to be President.
The bar had to be set pretty low for him to even gain the nomination of his party.
Kerry also smuggly added that he is smarter than Trump because Trump earned his wealth, while he cleverly married his.
And then shows up in front of a Congressional committee to testify garbed in Army fatigues.
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States, and who shall publicly acknowledge the Truth of man-made climate Change."
Article III, Sec. 3, defines treason against the United States. Fortunately for John Kerry, it does not say that it is a bar to holding an office of trust or profit under the United States.
