This is a deceitful headline. I'm ashamed of Breitbart for doing this.

President Trump did not suggest "'Termination' of U.S. Constitution Allowable;" this was a misleading juxtaposing of words.

The actual quote is:

“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!”
When Trump says "even those found in the Constitution," he's speaking of the 12th amendment counting of Electoral College votes. He suggesting that if the election was based on fraud, then the 12th amendment legally counted fraudulent Electoral College votes and should be set aside.

I'm not endorsing his argument, but he's clearly not suggesting that the Constitution be terminated.

Translation/Clarification for those confused:

A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude [that the Commucrats are attempting nationwide] allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

What do you perceive his argument to be?

I perceived it as because the Uniparty got away with the fraud, they are currently now getting away with their quite-evident shredding of the Constitution.

If we start “setting aside” amendments, where does it stop? Who decides which amendments are set aside? There is a legal process to modify the amendments, but that’s it.
