US: Trump urges on his social network to abandon the Constitution

Donald Trump insists. On the Truth social network he created, the former president of the United States repeated on Saturday his unsubstantiated allegations of fraud during the 2020 election, in which Democrat Joe Biden won the presidency. The billionaire said that falsifications “of this kind and scale make it possible to cancel all norms, provisions and articles, including the constitution.”

Words that were immediately condemned by the White House. “The Constitution of the United States is a sacred document that for 200 years has ensured that our beautiful country is governed by freedom and the rule of law,” Executive Representative Andrew Bates said Saturday. “The attack on the Constitution and everything it stands for is anathema to the soul of our country and must be condemned,” he added. “You can’t just love America when you win. »

This Sunday, elected representatives of both parties were offended by the words of the former president, who also recently announced that he intends to run in the 2024 presidential election. “Last week he dined with anti-Semites. He now calls for an end to constitutional democracy in America,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer tweeted about a dinner at Donald Trump’s Florida residence attended by white supremacist Nick Fuentes and notorious Holocaust denier.

“A Danger to Our Democracy”

Donald Trump is “out of control and a danger to our democracy. Everyone should condemn this attack on our democracy,” Schumer added.

Asked about Trump’s remarks on Fox News, former Vice President Mike Pence, who nonetheless distanced himself from the American billionaire after the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, refrained from condemning them. “Candidates who focused on the past, especially those who focused on questioning the last election, didn’t fare well in last month’s midterms,” he said, simply calling back.

Trump’s former national security adviser, the very conservative John Bolton, was offended by his former boss’s proposal. “All true conservatives should oppose his 2024 presidential campaign,” he tweeted.
