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.

"He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States." - The Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 3In April 2020, President Trump threatened to use Article II to dismiss Congress over blocking him from recess appointments. President Trump knew he had that power -- the exact same power he would have used to remand the presented elector's slates in 2020 back to each state's legislature.
Much of this is his regret over not having done so.
The constitution has already been suspended. No part of our current illegitimate govt is operating within the constitution. There is no way to fix this without drastic action. Trump is well aware of what needs to happen. He’s just trying to bring the public along so they are mentally prepared for it.
yes-Trump should know now not to give them so much ammmo to shoot him with-not his best move
= = =
So Trump goes quieter, or even silent.
“Trump is hiding. Does not deny charges. Will not respond to investigators. Has lost all support. etc.”
Can Trump win in 2024 without attracting voters beyond those already firmly committed to voting for him?
Only if people wake up and are able to connect the dots when this recession/inflation/energy crisis/border crisis worsens over the next two years.
The US Constitution has been evicerated by a coup d’état. How do we restore our government?
Indeed media shows face
Brilliant!
Best response I’VE heard yet!!!
And lots of normal people do. Don’t insult people just because they disagree with you.
“He expressed himself badly ....again. After 5 or 6 years of this, he should know better.”
Well, there’s Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton. I’m not sure that Barack, Michelle, or Joe, always express themselves well, but they are Democrats and different standards apply.
Of course, it is good to express oneself well. But it’s not the only thing. I want someone who is patriotic, courageous, and takes good actions. Two examples of good actions follow. Trump freed the American oil industry during his tenure. Anyone could have done it, but it seems that only one politician would have done it. Trump made judicial appointments that moved the courts in the direction of law abiding.
While it is a bitter pill to swallow, Trump showed us, intentionally or not, that the Republican establishment works with Democrats to bring socialism to the land.
“ Five-dimensional chess, I’m sure.”
7 dimensional actually. And probably involves imminent disclosure of super intelligent aliens revealing theirselves .
What insult are you crying about?
What kind of a jerk are you? You wrote earlier “Then you are either suffering from a bad case of TDS or you have Dyslexia and its not just you, many on this site have the same problem.” And likely other idiotic statements of long-term people on FR who have a different opinion than you. Or would you prefer that we all start question your IQ as a prospective Kool-Aid drinker so blinded, like an Obama supporter to be oblivious to reality? Seriously, insults get us nowhere and degrade the conversation, so, please, be respective of all of us on FR, even if you disagree with us, and like with regards to Trump, where we’ve changed our minds.
If that is what he wanted to say, he should have said it. Instead of what he actually said.
OMG, crocodile tears, really hope your keyboard didn’t get wet.
I must have hit a nerve to receive such a diatribe, which label got to you? the TDS or the dyslexia? Maybe it was being lumped together with a lot Never Trumpers that ae on this site. The fact that you think you have been insulted certainly goes along with not being able to read and understand plain English which is what Mr. Trump wrote.
The truth does hurt sometimes especially those that cannot see it but I didn’t write that to hurt your feelings or anybody else, I just tell it like I see it.
Let Trump be Trump!
