No, Trump Did Not Call for Termination of Constitution

I want you to use your critical thinking skills.  We have been told that Trump has called for the end of election rules and the Constitution so that he can overturn the 2020 Election and be put back into office.  That is not what he said.  Read Trump's quote about the termination of the Constitution carefully.

Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

He did not say he wants the founding document terminated, he said that the election fraud, if it continues and if the past fraud is ignored and allowed to stand, will lead to the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

The people heard what they wanted to hear, not what Donald J. Trump actually said.

When you believe something so deeply it just hurts, even if it is not true, like those who hate Trump do, you find a way to twist it into reality.  Such are the practices of the woke crowd, conspiracy theorists, and Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers.  Remember when they began the "Trump is racist" campaign?  It began when Donald Trump said that among the illegal alien population are criminals and murderers.  I am figuring we all believe that murderers and criminals are no good for our country.  The never-Trump lefties and GOP lefties and "Never-Trumpers" screamed he claimed all Mexicans are murderers and criminals.  Trump never said such a thing, but people sometimes hear only what they want to hear.  If your twisted mind is convinced he's racist, no matter what he says, racism will scream true for your ears to hear.  If you believe racism is everywhere, even if it's not, you will see it everywhere.

When Donald Trump first burst on the political scene, I had my reservations.  He's been very successful, but stories were circulating that he was unhinged, unprincipled, and his business practices were less than honest.  Principles and integrity are a huge consideration when deciding if a particular candidate for office, any political office, measures up to what one wants.  So, I did some deep diving to make sure that Trump was, at the very least, better for the country than Hillary Clinton.

The bar set by Clinton, to be honest, was pretty low.  If a candidate was breathing and not a raging communist they were better than she.  But, I still needed to know if Trump was the right choice after he clinched the Republican nomination.  

Media was full of hate for the guy, as was most other sources, so my searches could not be conventional.  Their hate for him because he was not a part of their little club, and he was willing to stick a stick in their spokes, had them seeing things the way they view the "termination of the Constitution" quote; twisted, and not quite with the truth in mind.  Fortunately, I am deep enough into the political world that I know people who know people.  I was able to talk to people who knew Trump personally, or knew someone who had worked for Trump.  What I discovered was that nearly all of the accusations being levied against Trump were false, misrepresented without context, or they were simply dishonest exaggerations of the truth.  So, I decided I would vote for Trump.  I wasn't a full-fledged Trumper, yet, but I was willing to give him my vote.

My support for Donald Trump increased once his presidency took off, and once I realized that anything being claimed about him by those who hated him were partially false, or straight out lies.  I was no longer influenced by their campaign of hate, and I began to analyze closely, and honestly, his decisions, his policies, and his way of going about combatting the forces against him.  He impressed me.  I became convinced I had made the right choice, and that while we did not get the President I originally wanted, America got the President it needed for such times as these.  

I was still not convinced he was a "conservative" when he was elected.  But, as I observed the game that was afoot, I realized that the attacks against him by the Democrats and Republican Establishment pushed him in a conservative direction.  In other words, while he wasn't what one would call a conservative in the beginning, it seemed he was willing to learn, and he quickly learned that conservatives and constitutionalists were his allies and began to embrace conservative principles and ideas along the way.  His development ultimately made him the most pro-life President in history.  Some of the people he surrounded himself with advised him accurately most of the time regarding what is or is not constitutional, as well, but unfortunately, he was also surrounded by people who were the enemy, or were in cahoots with his political enemies.  Overall, however, aside from maybe the "warp speed" decision when it came to the scamdemic jab, for the four years of the Trump presidency he followed the Constitution better than any president since Calvin Coolidge.

With that all said, Trump's post-presidency life has continued to draw the ire of the left, and GOP establishment.  Most recently, he was said to have said something against the United States Constitution.  So, we must ask; did Donald J. Trump throw the Constitution under the bus in a Truth Social post?

CNN, you know, that bastion of truth and honesty, proclaimed that Trump "called for the termination of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 Election and reinstate him to power."  They call any questions about the 2020 Election "election denialism" and "fringe conspiracy theories" even though folks like Mike Lindell (with footage showing false ballots being added to the count, along with other dubious activities, at the vote-count centers), Dinesh D'Souza (used GPS tracking to show "mules" delivering false ballots at ballot boxes in States where "ballot harvesting is illegal"), and Dr. Douglas Frank (using mathematics to arrive at the conclusion there was fraud; and who is speaking to the Constitution Association on January 21 in Murrieta, California) have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was fraud in that election, and that the fraud changed the election from a Trump landslide to a Biden squeaker.

Politico also claims Trump called for the termination of the Constitution, claiming he is "denying" it "without deleting the incriminating post."

Now, influenced by Trump's full belief that elections can't be trusted when it comes to the elections, and fraud may be involved in many more elections than Americans are willing to admit at a level that is indeed changing elections away from candidates who support liberty, Donald Trump is now under attack due to a recent post on Truth Social that is being falsely reported that he called for the “termination” of the Constitution. 

That's a pretty serious accusation.  The problem is, that's not what Trump said.

Let's revisit the beginning of this article in more stark detail, now.

Trump wrote:

So with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!

The American People have already been conditioned to believe such talk is "fringe conspiracy theory" language, and that Trump is some kind of monster so if he opens his mouth about something what he said is actually worse than what he said.

We've also been conditioned to believe that if a person says something and it can be dissected to mean something awful then that is how they intend to act and operate and that is what they meant to say (even if it's not what they said) -- unless, of course, they are a hard left Democrat and they really did say something stupid, then, they simply misspoke.

In response to reactions that were launched that he called for a termination of the United States Constitution, Trump posted:

The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American people that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution. This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, and all of their other HOAXES & SCAMS. What I said was that when there is “MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION,” as has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 Presidential Election, steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG. Only FOOLS would disagree with that and accept STOLEN ELECTIONS. MAGA!

Trump later added in a second post:

“SIMPLY PUT, IF AN ELECTION IS IRREFUTABLY FRAUDULENT, IT SHOULD GO TO THE RIGHTFUL WINNER OR, AT A MINIMUM, BE REDONE. WHERE OPEN AND BLATANT FRAUD IS INVOLVED, THERE SHOULD BE NO TIME LIMIT FOR CHANGE!”

His initial remarks were mischaracterized just like the "rapists and criminals" statement regarding illegal immigration was mischaracterized.  Context was set aside, and meanings were assumed through a foggy pair of political spectacles that only sees "Orange Man Bad".

Trump's words, to give a little context, were a response to the Twitter revelations regarding election inerference that have been popping up since Elon Musk became the new owner of Twitter, as well as information revealed that Twitter worked to suppress anything that they politically disagreed with, and that they did so in collusion with the Democratic National Committee and the FBI.  The collusion is across the board.  Nobody can be trusted.  The Democrats have been doing everything they can to influence elections, even through social media, suppressing anything that reflected poorly on Democrats generally, and then-candidate Joe Biden in particular, while pushing to the front of the line anything that worked against Trump, or the GOP.  In particular, Musk has revealed that Twitter’s leftists suppressed the [Hunter Biden] laptop story. Like the leftwing globalist communist Deep State, the global power-player consortium, and leftist mainstream media, they feared the Hunter laptop story would derail Biden’s campaign.

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has emerged verbalizing the truth, apologizing for suppressing the story.  Such stories were labeled as “disinformation” despite the fact that it was actually the truth.

I can relate.  Facebook has continuously been shutting me down (and I have been shut out of my Constitution Study page on Facebook despite having at one time over 10,000 followers on that page), Google has played games with me (one of the instances I made a video about it showing the problem on the video for all to see), YouTube has shut down, so far, two of my videos (I also made a video about that), and my books are a target, one of which has a "disagreeable" less than favorable depiction of the homosexual militant political machine.

Tucker Carlson has also finally reached the realization of the revelation, "We cannot trust the government with ANY stats or facts. They lie ALL the time now", which includes collusion with big tech, and other big corporation interests and power-players (does Big Pharma suddenly come to mind?).

Fox News has reported that an FBI agent testified the FBI held weekly meetings with Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley ahead of the 2020 presidential election to discuss ‘disinformation’ on social media and how to censor information, and that Twitter had been tagging tweets as "disinformation" ahead of the 2020 Election.

The news is flush with the evidence piling up regarding the 2020 Election, and Trump has been watching these reports showing “massive fraud".  With that context in play he knows the system is screwed up.  He knows that what the judges are "interpreting to be constitutional" is out of whack.  So, with that in mind, he posted, "fraud [of] this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

Read that carefully.  He wasn't calling for the termination of the rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution, he was saying that the “massive fraud” perpetrated through the collusion of Big Tech, the media, the Democratic Party, and federal government intelligence agencies is leading to the “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

In other words, if we keep allowing this fraud it will terminate the Constitution.  He's not calling for the Constitution's termination, he's saying the fraud is terminating the Constitution.
