Trump doesn't know if he's supposed to uphold the constitution

It is disingenuous to say that his remark is in response to following the Constitution.  It is obviously directed toward the question of what level of due process is required. 

Which survey says......is part of the Constitution. Which he swore to uphold, in public. And now he "doesn't know" if he's supposed to do that?

Like presidents from every era didn’t consult their lawyers as to what was or was not constitutional.  Him saying he had to consult his id a big fat nothing burger y’all are trying to blow into something they are not.

This is wrong.  That is not what he said.  He wasn’t answering the question of supporting the Constitution.  He answered that when he said he’d do what the Supreme Court said.

Doesn't matter.  Orange man bad.  Orange man wrong.  Orange man lies all the time.  But wait a minute ... that means he does know.

“Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?” This is the question he was asked. The context of the question is irrelevant. Why? Because one of the things that is in the oath of office, very similar to the same oath I took when I joined the military, is that I will protect and uphold the constitution. You either uphold it or you don't. You don't get to pick and choose which parts you don't want to follow. 

Which is why I believe Trump answered the way he did. Because he doesn't feel like he should have to, even though he took an oath saying he would. That's not how this works. Either you do it or you don't. And if you don't then he shouldn't be president. Just like if I didn't do what I was supposed to or did only what I felt like, I'd have been kicked out of the military.

I have an Honorable Discharge, but I don’t remember considering the Constitution much while I was earning it and I don’t understand why you bring it up.  You don’t seem to be strong on communication skills, you certainly have misconstrued this subject.  NBC and it’s ’gotcha’ headline works for a minute, but disintegrates quickly upon honest review.  Sorry, but TDS only works on the fellow afflicted.

It's a straightforward question. Which he either can't answer or won't answer.

He did answer.  He said they’d do what the Supreme Court says.
