Trump, asked if he has to ‘uphold the Constitution,’ says, ‘I don’t know’
President Donald Trump argued in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that fulfilling his ambitious campaign promise to rapidly carry out mass deportations may take precedence over giving immigrants the right to due process under the Constitution, as required by courts.A central part of Trump’s agenda has been implementing the “largest deportation operation” in U.S. history, as he vowed during the 2024 campaign. In service of that goal, his administration has pressed the courts to allow the immediate removal of immigrants it accuses of being members of a Venezuelan gang, without giving them a chance to plead their case before a judge.
He may be dumb as a doorknob, but he knows he is supposed to uphold the Constitution. What he's really saying is, "I don't know" if my base will continue to support me if I keep breaking the law.
There should be no question about that. More importantly, he shouldn't want to find out if they will or they won't (they will, and already have).
We don't elect prez's to violate the Constitution, we elect them to defend it. It's in the oath of office. When they ignore their oath, America, the citizenry, the institutions, and the Congress, are called upon to rise up and throw the prez out of office. The Founders put mechanisms in place to do so.
But only works if a vast majority of Americans demand it. trump's base, they are enabling his lawlessness by their passive acquiescence. They are emboldening him to publicly say he does not have to obey the laws.
We told trump fans this would happen. It's happening. WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Lincoln suspended it, so can Trump.
What?
That he “honestly” doesn’t know the basics of his job?
You appreciate that sort of honesty?

It seems biased. Was he responding to the question, or was it more of a reflection of the very real constitutional gray areas that have emerged from decades of muddled immigration enforcement and judicial overreach? Another media edit to change the narrative, just like we saw with the Kamala interviews? Regardless, Trump is doing what he was elected to do ..

Still haven’t answered my question, why didn’t any other president do it?
Not if he didn’t know upholding the constitution is one of his primary responsibilities…..

The lawless traitor Democrats who helped 15 million illegals flood into OUR country, breaking our laws don't have a leg to stand on in this debate. STFU you traitors while we clean up your giant mess of illegals.
He was asked if he has to uphold the constitution
His answer was “I don’t know, I have lawyers for that”
If that’s wrong, then explain how it’s wrong

And - ANOTHER - half baked accusation where anyone with half a brain, and one that is not clammed shut with hate - can easily see this is not what he was saying.
The "I don't know" was clearly talking about he doesn't know if there is something in the constitution that says he is required to return the criminal back to the USA.
He - VERY - clearly says.
But brainwashed parrots and sheep will believe anything they hear to confirm their hatred of Trump. This is right up there with the Salem witch hunt mentality.

The Constitution doesn't say what you liberals think it says.

Correct. But WW was yapping about 5 and 14th amendment Due process. That is not the due process illegals get when they are being deported.

The due process we graciously give illegals being deported is not in the Constitution.
