Trump’s call to “get rid of” the Constitution ridiculed

• The White House said that former President Donald Trump was wrong when he said that the US Constitution should be “killed.”
• Mr. Trump said these things in a post on his Truth Social account on Saturday. He also said again that he won the presidential election in 2020, which is not true.
• He also said that “Big Tech” was working with Democrats to hurt him.

Trump’s remarks, according to White House spokesperson Andrew Bates, are “anathema to the essence of our nation.”

In a statement, Mr. Bates added, “You cannot only love America when you win.

In what appears to be a swipe at senior Republicans who have so far refrained from criticising the former president’s outburst, he added that Mr. Trump’s remarks should be “universally denounced.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell, among other prominent Democrats, questioned how Republicans could continue to refer to themselves as “Constitutional conservatives” if they didn’t denounce the remarks.

In his post, Mr. Trump made nebulous claims of “massive & pervasive fraud and deception” and questioned if he should take office again right away.

“All laws, statutes, and articles, including those listed in the Constitution, may be repealed in the event of a Massive Fraud of this kind and scope. False and fraudulent elections are not something that our great “Founders” wanted or would tolerate! “said he.

A few hours prior to the publication of the post, Twitter’s internal discussions over restricting a 2020 piece about Hunter Biden were made public.

The New York Post broke the story, which exposed President Joe Biden’s youngest son’s turbulent personal and professional life only weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

Due to a business policy on hacked and stolen data, Twitter first banned the story. The leaked emails showed confusion and conflicts among personnel as they rushed to respond.

However, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, gave a clue last week that he would make the information public by remarking on the social media site, “This is vital to rebuild public trust.”

The billionaire acknowledged there may be a “legal risk” to his decision, but he defended it in a Twitter spaces live video on Saturday.

Mr. Musk declared, “We’re just going to throw all the information out there and attempt to have a clean slate. Legal repercussions were “less of a concern than just clearing the air and making sure that people know what truly happened,” the speaker continued.

Last month, Mr. Trump declared his third run for president. He is currently the favourite to win the Republican nomination in 2024.

However, he has come under criticism this week after having dinner at his Florida home with a known white nationalist and Holocaust denier.

The rapper Kanye West, who earlier this week expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler and has been accused of making a number of antisemitic remarks, accompanied the individual, according to Mr. Trump, who claimed to not have been aware of his attendance.
