Trump: "Terminate" the Constitution

In today's NY Times:

To the Editor:

Re “Trump’s Call to Suspend Constitution Gets Rebukes” (news article, Dec. 5):

Former President Donald Trump’s call to overturn the 2020 election through “the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” underscores (yet again) his unfitness for any position of public trust.

The presidential oath, which Mr. Trump took in 2017 and would take again if he were to prevail in the 2024 election, consists of a vow to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” 

Mr. Trump has now disavowed this obligation in word, after repeatedly doing so throughout his presidency in deed. Case closed.

No less unfit are those politicians who, placing personal ambition above defending the Constitution, are too shamelessly craven to condemn him.
