Trump on Upholding Constitution: 'I don't know'

Monday, May 05, 2025

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.

Mari's quote was perfect. The administration is clearly incompetent and corrupt but the real responsibility lies with the republicans in Congress. They have neglected their duty and not upheld their oath. They had the power to stop all of this nonsense. [image or embed]

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

The Republican Party gave up on the constitution on January 20th, 2017.

...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?

They will be.

Trump will go down as one of the most reviled men in American history. Sycophants will deny they ever supported him/

They have already completely ignored the 4th amendment why would they care about the 5th?

MAGATS won't touch this post. They know they voted for someone who attempted to get overthrow the Constitution. They don't care. They'd rather live under a monarch than in a democracy.

Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if [need to uphold the Constitution], you say "YES"!

MAGA does not support the Constitution, including those who post here. Like SCOTT.

Trump believes he IS the Constitution. That his Whims are Law.

In a Simpler and more straightforward time he would Die for this Outrage....

Today we just change the Channel.

Winning?

Looky here.

It's a perfect day to realize that the politics you're used to are gone and never coming back. You can think about what you want the future to look like and try to build toward that. When you keep trying to wishcast the country back to 1998 to try to avoid it you become part of the problem. Start thinking about AT, after Trump.

Remember the "Know Nothing Party"??

Trumpy now leads the "I don't know Nuttin about Nuttin Party".

Gratz on your FAFO America.

Can you imagine the amount of heads exploding at faux nooz if Biden had done 1/1000th of the illegal ---- dotardo is doing right now and then having the audacity to answer a question about upholding the Constitution (when it is right inside his oath of office) with "I don't know"?

What an utter joke the GCCCP has become.

They were set to impeach Biden over being repaid for truck loan payments he made for Hunter and this corrupt piece of filth is selling meme coins and deregulating crypto AFTER one of the largest crypto dealers buys billions of his meme coins. www.rollingstone.com

What a ------- joke the GCCCP has become.

Banana republicans.

Looks like you are correct.

By the time their dumbasses figured it out it would be way too late.

For the life of me, I can never understand how J6 was not an instant dealbreaker for their love of that orange shitstain.

That is the saddest part of the past four years.

Republicans want a monarchy as long as they're in control.
