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.

No, that does not state that “fraud negates constitutional certification.”
is Election Fraud mentioned in the Constitution?
is it?
then it is reserved to the States and to the people.
is it a Constitutional Crisis? Yes.
one cannot hide behind the constitution after committing fraud.

No, it isn’t but the method of selecting a President certainly is. Now explain the mechanism for changing the outcome of the 2020 election that is in the Constitution. If your method isn’t there, then you’re fostering on overthrow of the Constitution and a rebellion.
if it is shown that state election laws were violated, and resulted in an illegitimate outcome, or the sitting of illegitimate electors, i see grounds for restitution.
“Allows for the termination” and “recommend the suspension of” are two different things. More media misleading headlines.
He did not call for suspension of the constitution. He called for termination of the rules, regulations and articles found in the Constitution. Termination, not suspension.
