The president is president 24/7, 365 days a year. Whatever he says at anytime in any situation matters equally.
YES
Esmeralda and this also includes distinguishing
his personal comments within freedom of speech
from public policy within Constitutional duties.
When Obama announces he changed his mind about gay marriage,
that is his personal choice, opinion and statement of belief.
He has the right to say that for himself, but govt does not have authority to establish that BELIEF for the nation.
Trump can announce he supports building a wall.
But if that is not constitutional, because it violates beliefs of half the nation,
then it can't be done without violating equal constitutional protections of all people.
So just because Trump says something that reflect on America
does not mean it carries the weight of Constitutional law and duties of govt.
Is that more clear?
Both types of statements reflect on America,
but things outside Constitutional duty and limits are different.
