Felon 47 Unsure If He Needs To Uphold The Constitution

The Constitution's Fifth Amendment says "no person" shall be "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"; it does not say that person must be a U.S. citizen, and the Supreme Court has long recognized that noncitizens have certain basic rights. Trump has also said that while "we always have to obey the laws," he would like to see some "homegrown criminals" sent to El Salvador as well, a proposal that was widely panned by legal experts. "But even given those numbers that you're talking about, don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?" Welker asked. "I don't know," Trump replied. "I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said." The Supreme Court has already made it clear to the Trump administration in three different recent decisions that it has to allow basic due process rights for immigrants

Trump is unsure that he has to uphold the Constitution and his Oath but when he's finished thinking about it he won't.

...don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?" Welker asked. "I don't know," Trump replied.

How are MAGAts not totally embarrassed by this man?
