The CNN headline says,
“Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post”
but that’s not what he really said, and what he did say reveals no significant change in his thinking. He’s still hopelessly fixated on the 2020 election. Here’s what he said (read story here):
“’Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,’ Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social and accused ‘Big Tech’ of working closely with Democrats. ‘Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!’”
Just more of the same. All he’s actually saying is the old familiar whine that he wants to be president no matter what. But while you’re here, let’s have some fun with this.
“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT …?”
No. We refuse to throw the election results out. And if there was ever a time to get stern with a toddler throwing a tantrum, and keep saying “no” as many times as it takes, this is it.
” … and declare the RIGHT WINNER …?”
We already did that. Biden was the rightful winner. This is a free country, and people don’t have to accept facts, but we don’t have to cater to denialism, either.
” … or do you have a NEW ELECTION …?”
Again, no. There’s no legal basis for a revote, he’s not entitled to one, there’s no reason for it, and we’re not going to do it.
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
It doesn’t, even if there was fraud, which there wasn’t; all the remedies for election grievances are provided by rules, regulations, articles, and the Constitution. In other words, by rule of law, under law, and according to law.
This is just Trump the big baby trolling us again, angry at us because we collectively proclaimed those familiar words,
“You’re fired!”
Honestly, I think the guy has an OCD complex.
