Trump Clarifies Statement Misrepresented as a Call to End to U.S. Constitution
PJ Media ^ | 12/05/2022 | Catherine Salgado

Donald Trump is sometimes his own worst enemy but, as we know from Russiagate, he is also grossly misrepresented in the media. The former president was recently accused of calling for an end to the U.S. Constitution in an inarguably badly-worded TruthSocial post. But he has since clarified that he was not calling for an end to the Constitution. In fact, the post seems to be an awkward argument that a stolen election — and thus an illegitimate government — means that the Constitution would no longer be in force, and thus laws that exist for a republican form of government would not provide solutions. Whether or not his argument is true is a different issue.

Here’s the original post:

“So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? 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 ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Trump has now issued a clarification of his earlier post on the same platform, his TruthSocial:

“The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American People that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution. This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, and all of their other HOAXES & SCAMS. What I said was that when there is ‘MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION,’ as has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 Presidential Election, steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.

Did he basically one of the constitution, the laws, the regulations set aside. You can twist that around her view want, excuse it is poorly stated, whatever. But it is very bad statement, he didn’t even apologize. I’m tired of him saying stupid things, then, blaming everyone else, and his supporters left, making excuses.

Oh sure...you tell him that!

He once again got and will get more mileage out of his comment!

Do you really think anyone who doesnt like him would change their mind if he phrased everything so a 3rd grader understood it.? Ha ha ha ha

"Trump would not be the man we all know and love if he has to run everything he says through a committee or a focus group —like RINOs do. Trump is fine. Let Trump be Trump as he fights the media and the leftists. Results are what counts"

ABC World News Tonight brought this up again because they were discussing the Georgia Senate runoff and Trump had supported Walker.

They spent no time considering correct interpretations of Trump's statement.

They listed every accusation Warlock made against Walker, but listed none of the accusations against Warlock.

The MSM is hopelessly evil.

I interpreted what he wrote as the traditional election process as well as the Constitution were usurped by a fraudulent 2020 election.

"The massive fraud of this type and magnitude" (fraudulent 2020 election) "allows for" (allowed) "termination of all" (election) "rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution."

Given that the election was fraudulent, is the corrective action to install the actual election winner in office or do you restore Constitution process and select a new leader in a fair election. I assume the Founders expected the Constitution would be repected as law rather than spontaneously reinterpreted at the whim of the few. There's no point in repeating an election whose results have been predetermined.

according to the msn hysteria, “He also asked if the US should somehow discard the results of the election he lost or call a new election even though neither course is allowed under US law.’

Guess who can pass laws? The House.

And, there’s always PART C - OFFENSES INVOLVING PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN LAWS §2C1.1. Offering, Giving, Soliciting, or Receiving a Bribe; Extortion Under Color of Official Right; Fraud Involving the Deprivation of the Intangible Right to Honest Services of Public Officials; Conspiracy to Defraud by Interference with Governmental Functions

Trump should assume office as if he ran unopposed. The Dems should be penalized by being barred as a political party for at least 10 years. There MUST be a reckoning. And this is the peaceful way to do it.

Will we ever have elections, where the results are NOT predetermined?

You RINO’s actually belive the media narrative...Trump will get GOP nomination no amount of media bias, spin basically lies is going to stop that...Desantis is not going to save you....want to know Desantis real appeal, his first election for Florida Governor...he has no chance against Trump unless he wants to end is political career and weaken Trump for the General election which seems to be the aim.

take away in trumps original statement

“allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles”

What the coup have done and continue to do is to pay no attention to the constitution and at this point we might as well not have one

You know, Jim, I can't argue with that. That's a good point.

Trump is fine. Let Trump be Trump as he fights the media and the leftists.

That echos of the old phrase, "Let Reagan be Reagan".😊

Results are what counts.

His first term was amazing.

On another topic, I hope your recovery is proceeding well! I was awfully worried about you for a while; delightful to see you posting more and longer posts.
