What, Me Uphold the Constitution? - Don Old Drumpf

Trump says he doesn't know if he needs to uphold constitutional due process

Donald Trump said "I don't know" when asked if he needed to uphold the US constitution when it comes to giving immigrants the right of due process as he gave a wide-ranging TV interview broadcast on Sunday.

"I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know," Trump replied when asked by Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker whether he agreed with his secretary of state Marco Rubio who had previously expressed support for the idea that everyone had the right to due process.

When pressed Trump continued:

"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. What you said is not what I heard the supreme court said. They have a different interpretation," the US president added.

''

Trump also gave his clearest indication to date that he plans to leave office at the end of his second term, acknowledging the constitutional constraints preventing him from seeking a third term.

"I'll be an eight-year president, I'll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important," Trump said. But he acknowledged that some people want him to serve a third term, which is currently prohibited by a constitutional amendment passed in 1947.

"I have never had requests so strong as that," told the broadcaster. "But it's something that, to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do. I don't know if that's constitutional that they're not allowing you to do it or anything else."

Wiggle words.
