Once again, Donald Trump has proposed dismantling the United States Constitution. “Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?” Trump asked on TruthSocial Saturday. “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
The answer to Trump’s question is “neither.” The response to his declaration is, “No, it does not.” The conclusion one must draw is that the 45th president of the United States has lost whatever was left of his mind.
That Trump probably cannot achieve his stated aims here remains spectacularly beside the point. During the closing days of the 2020 election, I wrote repeatedly about the seriousness of Joe Biden’s refusal to reject his party’s growing demand to “pack” — i.e. destroy — the United States Supreme Court. Not once did I receive an email from a Trump voter telling me that my alarm was misplaced on the grounds that, in all likelihood, Biden would not have the votes to do it. Back then — and rightly so — the mere fact that Biden was entertaining the idea was deemed instructive: “When people tell you what they want to do with power,” my correspondents invariably opined, “you should believe them. Joe Biden cannot be trusted with power.”
Well, so it is with Donald Trump once again. When Trump declared his 2024 candidacy last month, he implicitly asked us to judge him and his plans for the country, and, eventually, to compare those plans to those that are on offer from other hopefuls. And so we must — including when he talks about the election of 2020.

Did PDJT tell people to drink bleach?
Nope.

National review aka lincoln project.
You lost me at “National Review” - worthless.
Trump said something. democrats have shredded and violated the Constitution. democrats want the Constitution changed to suit their purposes. Remember their mantra: “The Constitution is a living breathing document.”
Trump says otherwise and the media hasn’t been right yet

tru dat. never trumpers will hear what they want.
Trump could have said it better, that fraud negates contracts and election fraud negates constitutional certification.
i hope to heaven that Trump makes better legal moves.
i still support him. he is no tyrant.
The default arc of any organization is to be slowly subverted and then subsumed. The invading parasite still hides behind the storefront’s logo and lounges in its long-past glory.
Is that him?
Looks like his mommy dressed him.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
That’s what Google says.
Yuppers
NPR for short.
I don’t think he was calling for the suspension of the Constitution. But it was a stupid thing to say. There is no one with the authority to simply overturn an election and appoint the losing candidate President.
If the election was stolen we are already in a post-constitutional situation. The problem is there is no clear constitutional remedy for an illegal president usurping power.
Yawn.....
I support an article 5 convention to fix any ambiguity and reset us back to what the Founders intended... and that wasn’t the 2 party corruptocracy we have now.
Haha! NR can blow it out the other end!
Communism lovers still don’t understand.
DT likes to press buttons. They’re easily confused.
GO DT and RD!
The courts didn’t want to get involved but there’s plenty of evidence if one will just look at it. I can send you some links if you’d like but I’m not holding my breath.
