What follows is a matter of public record. You be the judge of the words.
I, DONALD J. TRUMP DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. (This was the Oath of Office taken by every president since George Washington.)
When asked in a recent TV interview whether he is bound by the law as found in the US Constitution he said “I DON’T KNOW”. MY LAWYERS ARE SMART GUYS AND THEY’RE LOOKING INTO THAT”.
These words are self-condemning. There is no room for any legal “wiggle”. Less than 100 days after being sworn in he TOTALLY REVERSED what he said on January 20th. That discrepancy is simply indisputable. It’s also shameful, alarming, disconcerting and foretelling. If Trump won’t align himself and his actions with the US Constitution–all bets are off. He will do whatever he chooses to do without regard to the rule of law. If that doesn’t scare you–IT SHOULD.
