Fucking "Yes" lawyers who continue to make attempts to undermine the US Judicial system and constitution.

He doesn't need to if no one holds him accountable. He should need to, legally, but, in the current environment, he doesn't.

Are the constitutions all over the world really valid today ?

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

He and his ilk are traitors.

[-] Therobohour@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

That's because 1. Trump didn't want to win election and 2. He has lost is mental faculties. Age,spite and cocaine abuse has caught up with him

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Shit. Will cocaine abuse catch up on someone without spite? Asking for a friend.

[-] Therobohour@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Well best give up one of them

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I'd more believe he said he doesn't know because he doesn't know what it is but has been briefed about it. Instead of some tongue-in-cheek admission to further fascism. If he didn't know and hadn't been briefed I think he would've lied that he's the expert on the Constitution.

Still shouldn't be president tho.
