The Trumpist reaction is pretty clear. They say two things:
-
Trump didn’t say it. He was saying the “steal” terminated the Constitution. (This is false.)
-
He’s right. There should be a revolution.
There is no longer any regard amongst Trumpists for the Constitution or the rule of law. Sorry to say this but I still think the USA as a constitutional republic is very close to catastrophe.
Of course, if the Constitution is terminated, then there’s no such thing as a President. The President of the United States is a creation of the Constitution; the term means nothing in the Constitution’s absence. It’s like asking who the current head coach of a World Football League franchise is.
