Trump took the oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution upon assuming the office of President on January 21, 2017.
The two articles below as well as his lack of basic knowledge of the Constitution shown by his actions all prove he doesn’t know what’s in the constitution let alone even has one iota or sense about following it ever since then and more so lately.
Post the 2020 election he basically tore up that document and that led to his planning of the January 6 insurrection designed to keep him in office after losing, and do it at any cost. And, that cost remains astronomically high based on these two stories.
The first is from The Independent with this headline:
“Trump
calls for himself to be reinstated as president by falsely claiming fraud
overrides Constitution”
The second is related to the first and comes from The Hill with this headline:
“Trump calls for ‘termination’ of election rules in Constitution to
overturn 2020 election”
Highlights from that
story: Trump called for the termination of the Constitution’s rules regarding
elections to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election following
the release of more detailed information about Twitter’s role in suppressing a
story about Hunter Biden.
The original article is follows in order to compare the two into one idea about his latest stunt:
Trump is calling for himself to be reinstated as
president or for the 2020
election to be run again.
He asked on his “Truth Social” page: “Do you throw the Presidential
Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a
NEW ELECTION?”
In his Saturday (December
3) morning rant, the twice-impeached former president falsely claimed that
alleged “…massive and widespread fraud and deception by Democrats and big
tech companies undermined the 2020 election results.”
Further, the one-term
president and former reality TV host falsely claimed that the alleged fraud was
of such magnitude that all laws, including the Constitution, could be cast
aside, adding: “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’s online rant began
Friday night in response to a Fox News report that the FBI had met with Twitter and
other social media companies in the run-up to the 2020 election to combat the
spread of disinformation online.
That report relates to a
suit filed against the Biden administration by the AG’s Louisiana and Missouri
that accuses high-ranking government officials of working in conjunction with
big tech companies to censoring online content “under the guise of combating
misinformation.”
As the 2020 election
approached and online misinformation campaigns ramped up, meetings between the
FBI and social media companies increased in frequency and there was a specific
warning from the bureau regarding potential Russian “hack and dump” or “hack
and leak” operations.
There were multiple reports at the time and Capitol Hill testimony from FBI director Christopher Wray regarding foreign attempts to influence the 2020 election.
Russian actors were said to be targeting the Joe Biden campaign whereas China and Iran preferred that Trump not win reelection (intelligence reports said) in the months leading up to the election.
Trump accuses the FBI, working in conjunction with the DOJ, of meeting with big tech firms and viscerally writing: “To bend them into saying bad things about Trump and Republicans in order to RIG & STEAL the 2020 Presidential election. Now additional evidence, different but just as illegal and sinister as the many other forms of cheating used, is flowing out of the crevices of this corrupt wound.”
Over five posts Trump
railed against the law enforcement agencies and the justice system, accusing
them: “…of being totally corrupt and
harassing, cajoling, and intimidating Big Tech companies” and claiming their actions were: “…no different in meaning than
STUFFING THE BALLOT BOXES, only far more sophisticated and impactful.”
In one post he wrote
that nothing will be done about his claims saying: “But they’ll keep
investigating boxes that were legally and openly taken from the White House.”
He was referring to the trove of classified documents that
were taken to his Palm Beach home at Mar-a-Lago, at the end of his presidency.
Once again, the scandal-plagued former president continues
to lash out at the FBI and judicial system as a myriad of legal problems swirls around him, his family, his
businesses, and his actions during his final months in office.
My 2 Cents: His man needs to be charged, prosecuted, tried, convicted,
and put in prison for a very long time.
Better yet a padded cell might
suffice based on these two recent rants from him. Trump has lost it totally.
We must not allow him or anyone like him to sustain this craziness and keeping chaos and turmoil alive whether he or they are in public office or not.
Yes, it may qualify as crazy, arrogant, and totally
off the rails “free speech” but after the January 6 insurrection – his kind of
speech is clearly a national threat and violence has followed then and somewhat
still today.
The line between free speech and violent acts has long been crossed and erased by Donald J. Trump.
It
is beyond time to put a stop to him.
I say legally put him away
and allow the nation to heal and regroup and move on to prove once and for all again that: “No
one is above the law…” and now especially him no matter what titles or
positions he ever held. The public deserves justice.
(Please note some minor grammar mistakes posted at first - probably I posted too quickly - have been corrected. Sorry about that - my oops).
Thanks for stopping by.
