Former US President Donald Trump has sparked outrage with a statement about overruling the Constitution. Trump again spread his false claim on his online network Truth Social on Saturday that he has been denied a second term in 2020 due to electoral fraud. “A massive fraud of this nature and magnitude allows for the repeal of all rules, ordinances and articles, even those in the Constitution,” Trump wrote.
The White House immediately condemned Trump’s statement. “Attacking the Constitution and all that it stands for is an abomination to the soul of our nation and should be universally condemned,” spokesman Andrew Bates said.
Schumer: “Danger to our democracy”
President Joe Biden’s Democratic politicians sharply attacked Trump. “He’s calling for an end to America’s constitutional democracy,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “It has gotten out of hand and is a threat to our democracy.” Congressman Ted Lieu dismissed Trump’s statement as “anti-American and fascist.” Congressman Don Beyer said Trump had “openly declared himself an enemy of the Constitution.”
Criticism also came from some Republicans. Congressman Adam Kinzinger called Trump’s statement “crazy.” No Conservative can support him now. John Bolton, who was Trump’s national security adviser until a disagreement, said “all true conservatives” must now prevent Trump’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
