Former President Trump on Monday insisted he does not want to “terminate” the Constitution, responding to media backlash after making a point over the weekend that its rules and laws should be disregarded due to fraud committed so he can return to the White House.
Trump, in a pair of posts on Truth Social, responded to the fallout from his comments on Saturday that the 2020 election should be redone or he should be put back in office. The former president weighed in after internal Twitter communications showed company officials deciding to limit the spread of posts about allegations against Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, in the closing weeks of the 2020 campaign.
“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,” Trump wrote Monday afternoon, saying he meant that “steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.”
In a separate, all-capitalized post, Trump wrote that “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!”
Trump two days earlier had posted about the Twitter controversy, saying, “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
It appears that Trump was simply making a point that if the election was fraudulent then he should be rightfully reinstated as President of The United States and that the constitution holds no weight because the election was stolen in the first place. The media has instead decided to mince the former President’s words and use them against him in order to discredit Trump from running for President in 2024.
The post came after Elon Musk teased more incoming details about the New York Post story throughout the day on Friday, promising what “really happened” would be revealed.
Musk later referred to a thread from user Matt Taibbi which claimed Twitter took “extraordinary steps” to limit the exposure of the story ahead of the 2020 Presidential Election.
