No one is ever going to mistake Donald Trump with anything resembling a constitutional scholar. He has likely never read it, and wouldn’t understand it if he did. Every attempt he has made to cite it is nearly comical, if it weren’t for the deadly serious consequences of his flaming ignorance.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Even worse, to the extent that Trump pretends to grasp the meaning of the Constitution, he holds zero respect for it or the legal authority it has held for more than two centuries. He has complained about the First Amendment protection of freedom of the press by repeatedly maligning the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”<\/em> He attempted a violent coup in order to cling to power. He even literally called for the termination of the Constitution…<\/p>\n

SEE THIS: Trump Literally Calls for Termination of the Constitution and FREAKS OUT Over Bogus Fox News Story<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning Trump took another swipe at America’s constitutional foundations. On his floundering Twitter scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, he posted a video<\/a> in which he promised to issue an executive order that he thinks would override constitutional law, if he were to be reelected…<\/p>\n

“As part of my plan to secure the border on Day One of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s just one (at least) problem with that promise. It is a blatant violation of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment<\/a><\/strong> that says that \u201cAll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”<\/em><\/p>\n

No president, including aspiring authoritarians like Trump, can issue executive orders that violate the Constitution. Not that anyone really needs to worry about Trump keeping promises. After all, with regard to immigration, he previously promised that during his first term he would build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it.<\/p>\n

Trump’s video was filled with ludicrous remarks, such as his assertion that Biden “launched an illegal foreign invasion of our country;”<\/em> that refugees “come from mental institutions [and] jails;”<\/em> that “many scholars [say] this current policy is based on a historical myth;”<\/em> and that his policy will “end the unfair practice known as birth tourism [and] chain migration.” <\/em> [NOTE: Melania Trump allegedly lied in order to reside in the U.S. and later brought in her family<\/a><\/strong> via chain migration]<\/em><\/p>\n

None of that is even tangentially related to reality. And you’ll notice that Trump doesn’t bother to name any of the alleged “scholars”<\/em> who hold that the actual language of the Constitution is a myth. However, Trump’s hysterical rant leaves out another part of the Constitution that holds a significant relevance. The 14th Amendment also says that…<\/p>\n

\u201cNo person shall<\/strong> be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office<\/strong>, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath<\/strong>, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States<\/strong>, shall have engaged in insurrection<\/strong> or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof<\/strong>.\u201d [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So according to the Constitution, Donald Trump, as well as numerous Republicans in Congress, should not be permitted to serve due to their having engaged in an insurrection. But despite that prohibition, Trump remains singularly determined to impose his tyrannical dominance over the nation. He has even called for the 2020 election to be declared “irreparably compromised,”<\/em> paving the way for him to be crowned the new King of America. That’s how sickly un-American he and his glassy-eyed cult disciples are.<\/p>\n
