This is the problem with Trump. He says incredibly stupidly worded things, which give fodder for his enemies. Here’s what Trump said:

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ‘Founder’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

You can’t blame people for misreading “allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, including those found in the Constitution.” He misspoke, and took three days to correct himself.

So what DID he mean? “[S]teps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.” What steps? Unconstitutional steps? Selectively setting aside the Constitution? Just this once, despite the wording, “termination?” How? What authority’s going to do this? A military coup, like when a Latin American dictator suppresses free elections and a free press? The Supreme Court? Here the former, rightfully elected President is calling on someone to do something, but doesn’t say what? Do what the January 6th crowd was in most cases falsely accused of?

The man is obviously very smart, but when it comes to governing, he uses all guts, no brains. It’s just another one of the myriad of fights he has picked, so many of them justly, without nary a thought how to win them.

I still don’t think you get what he means, but you are right that it is poorly worded. If we accept false elections, it is the same as terminating. If we allow false elections, then we allow terminating. He is equating the the two, not using the former as cause to do the latter.

You said it well.
Clarity and brevity matter a great deal when discussing something as complex as our Constitution.

Otherwise it quickly becomes like a long session of Bible Scholars debate rather nebulous points and conjectures.

If Trump were to get the nom, the oppo ads write themselves.

It never seems to stop. He does not choose to learn.

I'll support, and vote for Trump if he does get the nom. Unlikely event that he makes it to be.

Donald Trump could be more successful if he stayed in a basement somewhere and just waiting for the country to implode. This worked for Biden and any person who drives, shops or pays rent knows we are in a mess with getting worse daily.

This statement is not playing 3D chess with the media it is giving the ammo to destroy him.

“This is the problem with Trump. He says incredibly stupidly worded things, which give fodder for his enemies.”

I remember on one of his shows that Rush said one of Trump’s big problems was that he always thinks that people understand what he means.

I always thought

Termination of the constitution was the result of a fraudulent election.

In other words the anti constitutional behavior of Biden arose with his fraudulent election.

You can’t blame people for misreading ...

Sure you can!

If their memory span is so short to forget what they just read... “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude ..."

Perhaps he figured that poeple knew at least a LITTLE bit of their country's history...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
 
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
 
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
 
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
 
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
 
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.


The 'how to do it' wasn't given here, either.
