Former President Donald Trump suggested the “termination” of the United States Constitution could be allowable in response to the bombshell report that the Democrat Party colluded with Twitter to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election.
The former president made his observation via his Truth Social account on Saturday following journalist Matt Taibbi’s thorough report on Twitter’s internal communications during the 2020 elections at the behest of newly-minted CEO Elon Musk.
The author of the Breitbart article above is spinning (lying). Here's what Trump actually posted.
See posts #58 and 59 below.
Yes, we must break them out right away. Right?
He thinks the fraud happened, so either way he thinks the Constitution is terminated, or should be.
It is both funny and sad to read leftist idiots comments on FR.
Trump basically said the Constitution should be tossed aside so he can regain power. You may abide that, I do not.
Focus closely on this sentence. 'Allows for' can be taken to mean it permits violations by himself or his sitting government, OR it could mean it creates room for violations by the left.
There is too much ambiguity and this is too dangerous a topic for that.
I'm just becoming flat uncomfortable with the man. Perhaps his time has passed.
Question number two.
Which part/clause of the US Constitution was violated/ignored in the 2020 election?
Hint..it was the clause that triggered the final Bush V Gore debate in the courts.
I know the fraud happened, but I am uncomfortable with him stating the Constitution is nullified or should be.
Then you’re seeing something that doesn’t exist.
Which part/clause of the US Constitution was violated/ignored in the 2020 election?
In the complete absence of political handlers for his public statements, Trump is the polar opposite of Biden, who is treated like a child by his puppeteers.
“That “fool” is the only thing standing between you and a communist America.”
Horseshit! If Donald Trump has a heart attack tomorrow, it won’t spell the end of the USA!
> Trump never should even ALLUDE to cancelling the Constitution in any manner, any portion of it. <
Yep. We all have inappropriate musings from time to time. (Mine involve Jennifer Aniston, but that’s another story.)
Most folks have the self-control to keep their inappropriate musings private. And rich folks can also hire advisors to help keep everything in check. It’s pretty obvious that Trump has neither the self-control nor the necessary advisors.
Don’t get me wrong. Trump had, and has, many good ideas. But these odd unforced errors of his are becoming more common. I supported him in 2016 and 2020. But he’s pushing me away now.
Spot on.
Trolls, clot shots?
Not sure what is going on theses days.
Was just commenting to DD, how I felt FR was more unified after surviving 2015/2016 thread wars.
JR poar makes perfect sense!
I suggest you are not seeing that which does exist.
Who are you going to vote for President, Bitch McConnell? I suppose that you would like to vote for John McNasty for President. Too bad the nasty little gimp is dead.
There is little ambiguity.. it’s telling that the implications are so bold that Trump’s strongest supporters here are reading into it the opposite of it’s intent. Trump is saying that the scandal of the 2020 election is so big that it would be acceptable to set aside constitutional constraints to remedy it. It’s not very ambiguous at all. Funny how those who love Trump most here are intent to project his clear meaning unto their ideological enemies. Jim knew what he meant or he would have never posted the section of the Declaration dealing with just overthrow of tyrannical governments.
To be fair, you could interpret it either way. However, there is too much at stake to take a chance. I don't want a dictator or a Constitution-nullifier, no matter how much I might agree with most of the accompanying agenda.
Not saying Trump IS that, but this sort of comment on his part does not help.
Yes, and re-segregated the Federal Civil Service.
The stupid Rs should just runs DEMS ARE RACISTS ads all the time. Election or no election.
Hey kids, just here to remind you about the Racist Anti-black agenda of the Dem party, from yesterday to today!! By the way, they also interned the Japanese-Americans during WWII.
Use a mascot. How about Pepe?
