Trump says he doesn’t know if he supports constitutional due process
In an interview that aired on Sunday morning, President Trump was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.
Who wants to tell him that we get that right whether he supports it or not?
This comment, all by itself, is an impeachable offense. Sigh.
He swore an oath to the very thing he doesn't give a shit about.
The constitutional crisis happened on swearing in day.
The person being sworn in as President by the Chief Justice that day was ineligible for office according to the 14th Amendment section 3. And he could only do that because Congress neglected its Constitutional duty to enforce that provision.
That is all three branches of the government colluding to break the Constitution to put an ineligible man into the highest office.
He swore an oath to it, TWICE!
Can you imagine if Obama said this? Did literally any of these things?
Or Biden. Or Harris.
Many things are impeachable offenses; but nothing is convictable.
When they go low we go high though!!
We treat him better than any criminal and he still cries about being treated unfairly... anyone else in America would be behind bars right now.
We even have a real life example of this with all of the January 6th convictions resulting in jail time whereas his Highness was protected by a fascist judge who stalled the court proceedings at every opportunity.
Judge Aileen Cannon needs to be removed from her position, never be allowed to hold any judicial or public office position, and charged with obstruction of justice.
Absolutely, and it also didn't help that Merrick Garland (who, let me remind you, was only nominated for SCOTUS in the first place because Obama thought he was so conservative that not even McConnell could object to him) slow-walked the case for two years to begin with.
A jury of his peers literally found him guilty of several felonies.
Upon sentencing, the judge said, "Woopsie! I guess we can't put you in prison because you're a president now. Oh well."
Asked in the interview whether U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike deserve due process as laid out in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, Trump was noncommittal.
“I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump said when pressed by Welker.
Do you need to be a lawyer to be aware of the Bill of Rights? He's been President for more than 4 total years, head of the executive branch charged with executing the law for the entire country, has a whole staff of lawyers advising him, and has, himself, pled the 5th (!) and he's still not even familiar with the 5th amendment?
And he's sworn to uphold the Constitution (though a serial liar like him is about as trustworthy as a fox watching the chicken house)
Dementia is a path to many inconsistencies some consider to be... a big deal
Just wait till it affects him personally and he will.
It already did and he got off scot-free because of it.
Yes, my immediate thought: he will when he's tried for treason. Not that that will help him, if he and his Business Plot 2.0 co-conspirators are ever tried. So will W, Cheneys, Rices, and if we're lucky, hrc.
If any other president ... Democrat or Republican ... had come out and said the things Turnip has said over the years, they would have lost their political careers by now
The problem isn't this orange idiot, the problem is the mass of people, politicians, funders, enablers and wealthy backers who want this moron in power. Turnip is a powerless fool .... it's the people who keep him power that are the problem
If any other president … Democrat or Republican … had come out and said the things Turnip has said over the years, they would have lost their political careers by now
Ideally, they would've been hanged for treason by now.
Immediately disqualified from office. Whoever stops this menace is going to be considered a national hero, regardless of their methods.
Dear Canada and Europe, please save us from the Republicans.
If that's not one of the first questions Monday morning from the White House Press pool they should all be fired. What other Oaths does he not know if needs to uphold? What other parts of the Constitution which he took an oath to defend and uphold does he not believe in?
Well, as another example, he doesn't know what rhe Declaration of Independence is about. See timestamp 3:18. https://youtu.be/GBwCUPttprw

Fucking with them is a spectacularly bad idea, just ask the British.
So the social contract is null and void.
And force is the only thing backing up power now with only resistance stopping it.
Remember when he wouldn't put his hand in the Bible when he took his oath of office?
It would be hilarious if instead of asking this, the reporter asked him to define "due process"
"Of course I know what due process is. A lot of my friends are due process experts, and they're always telling me 'Donald, you do so much process. Nobody does process as brilliantly as you.'"
This is coming from the same administration that thought transgenic mice were transgender mice. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he actually comes out with something like this.
I noticed recently that the annotated constitution website suggests visitors to search "due process" in the search bar.
I don't support constitutional due process for him either
So if he doesn’t support it does that mean you cant violate the constitution if he’s removed by any means?
Presidents should do something, like some form of oath, to uphold this kind of things. And pass a test to ensure they understand all the complicated words.
Well he's the president, so he should really get clear on that. Immediately.
He is clear on it, he just doesn't want to admit it
Oh he wants to waive his due process rights, then?
That means no trial is necessary for him, naturally.
Ooh ooh I know the answer!
He doesn't.
I don't know if I support him living much longer.
Someone should make sure he at least knows what those words mean first.
Has this not been established the past few months?
He obviously doesn't. Which constitution defying EO led anyone to believe he gives a single fuck??
What do you want from a piece of human shit like him?
Thanks for asking.
Amswer: To see him swiftly confirmed as a treasonous threat to America and the principles of democracy my ancestors fought and died supporting, and then sentenced to death.
True. The concept is a bit too complex for his brain to handle.
