 Trump insists he doesn’t want to ‘terminate’ Constitution
by Brett Samuels - 12/05/22 1:48 PM ET

Former President Trump on Monday insisted he does not want to “terminate” the Constitution, responding to broad backlash after he said over the weekend its rules and laws should be disregarded so he can return to the White House.

Trump, in a pair of posts on Truth Social, responded to the fallout from his comments on Saturday that the 2020 election should be redone or he should be put back in office. The former president weighed in after internal Twitter communications showed company officials deciding to limit the spread of posts about allegations against Hunter Biden, President’s Biden’s son, in the closing weeks of the 2020 campaign.

“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,” Trump wrote Monday afternoon, saying he meant that “steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.”

If he didn't want to terminate the constitution, he should delete the post where he called for it.

Guess I'm just not seeing it. The woke Left is running with the interpretations that fit their ideological preconceptions.

In the end Trump's almost pathological fixation on what happened in 2020 will continue to rub many conservatives the wrong way. I hope he doesn't ride this train during his entire campaign (but I think he will given his nature). The media will continue to make him look the fool, and it may not help garner the numbers he needs for another nomination. IF he is the best person for the job. At this point, I have my doubts. His public fulminations are hard to tolerate outright, without any interpretations from the media.

His words could be taken several ways, but Trump is not one to choose his words wisely.  He keeps adding fuel to the fire that is already burning beneath him.  I just don't see him becoming the nominee and unfortunately, the nominee will be a RINO.

His insistence on nullifying the election and installing him as ruler is what causes them to be uncharitable with their interpretation.  Donald has shown contempt for the constitution and free/fair elections since at least 2012, when he called for revolution after Romney had seemingly won the popular vote and lost the electoral college.  Then in 2016 he claimed any primary he lost was "rigged."  He will pull the same crap in 2024 - it is a virtual certainty.

Except, an election WAS stolen.  IMHO he has not shown contempt for free and fair elections, but his energy would be much better off encouraging those at his rallies to become involved in becoming a Supervisor of Elections, poll watcher, precinct captain, etc.

Exactly. Trump's problem is he's a 360 degree randomly revolving turd cannon firing at 600 rounds per minute. Yes he hits the target - and everything else too. It ends up going two steps forward and one step back, hardly getting anywhere.

He needs to advance, he needs to update, and he needs to be more disciplined, pick his battles better and think more than one move ahead. Shock and awe worked the last time because it was novel and he caught them off guard.

Problem is they adapt and come back at you and you need to do the same.

If Trump can declassify documents with his mind .... he should use his mental powers to summarily decertifiy the 2020 Election Results.



Trump is not the future of the GOP in 2022 just as Romulus Augustus was not the future of the Roman Empire back in 476 A.D.

Trumpists and Trumpism will fester like an ulcerated bed sore on the GOP's rump.

What Trump and these last few years have exposed is the idea that we live in a Representative Republic is a mirage. A facade.

We're run by corrupt oligarchs, who govern in their own self-interests.

Not ours.

They do not have my consent. Not anymore.

I guess I don't see were specifically he's demanding an end to the US Constitution. But what he's suggesting is not going to happen.

But for those that are desperate to defend him, what would their reaction be if Hillary Clinton said this, word for word, about the 2016 election??

If the democrats had had the proof they would still be fighting the results of the 2016 election.  Republicans had the proof of a stolen election in 2020, but chose to drive the getaway car.

May I remind you that while the democrats stopped challenging the 2016 election results, they never stopped challenging the presidency. 

The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun
The Washington Post, January 20, 2017 at 12:19 p.m. EST

The effort to impeach President Donald John Trump is already underway.

At the moment the new commander in chief was sworn in, a campaign to build public support for his impeachment went live at ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org, spearheaded by two liberal advocacy groups aiming to lay the groundwork for his eventual ejection from the White House.

Clumsy but Correct - President Trump and the Challenge of Restitution
Illinois Review, Dec 5, 2022 John Di Leo

<Snip>

So President Trump did what we must all be doing – all of us, anyway, who are awake. He is screaming to the rafters that this is insane, that we know the perpetrators, we know what went wrong and how they did it, we have the evidence before us, and we could still right this ship before it’s too late, so let’s Just Do It! His inner executive, the decision-maker, sees the logical solution and states it out loud.

It’s not in the statutes, it’s not in the Constitution, it’s not anywhere in writing. This hasn’t happened before, but if we want the nation to survive another 200 years, we need to act NOW.

Not saying it's pretty, just saying it's not what the woke Left says it is.

[Bigun]

Trump does not want to terminate the Constitution or any part off it! What he does want is that it be fully enforced ALL the time and the opportunity to make his case for redress of his grievances, ALL of which have thus far been denied to him at every turn by thoroughly corrupt public officials.
