Donald Trump seems to be doing his best to affirm that he intends to become America’s first dictator. He is furiously dismantling every cherished institution of the nation from justice to academia to journalism, and even religion. There are no principles or values that he won’t stomp on in pursuit of his own exaltation.<\/p>\n

Included among the pillars of American principles that Trump is eager to plunder is the nation’s Constitution itself. Not that he has any idea what it says or what it means. To Trump it is an archaic document that is only there for him to exploit if possible, or discard when necessary.<\/p>\n

Trump confirmed his distaste for the Constitution in an interview with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press this weekend. During a portion of the interview that dealt with Trump’s unlawful deportation agenda, Welker sought to get his views on the legal aspects of rounding up allegedly undocumented persons and shipping them off to foreign gulags without any justification or legal recourse.<\/p>\n

Welker:<\/strong> Your Secretary of State [Marco Rubio] says that everyone who is here – citizens and noncitizens – deserves due process. Do you agree?
\nTrump:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not, I\u2019m not a lawyer. I don\u2019t know.
\nWelker:<\/strong> Well, the Fifth Amendment says as much.
\nTrump:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know. It seems \u2014 it might say that, but if you\u2019re talking about that, then we\u2019d have to have a million or two million or three million trials. We have thousands of people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and some of the worst people on Earth. Some of the worst, most dangerous people on Earth. And I was elected to get them the hell out of here. And the courts are holding me from doing it.
\nWelker:<\/strong> \u201cBut even given those numbers that you\u2019re talking about, don\u2019t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?
\nTrump:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Meet the Press Trump is asked directly if he has to uphold the Constitution. He replies "I don't know."<\/p>\n

During his inauguration he took an oath to do so. But then, he also took oaths to his 3 three wives and broke all of those.pic.twitter.com\/4xQSh5eT9x<\/a><\/p>\n
