Donald Trump said “I don’t know” when asked if he needed to uphold the US constitution when it comes to giving immigrants the right of due process as he gave a wide-ranging TV interview broadcast on Sunday.
At the same time the US president also said he saw himself as leaving office at the end of his current term and not seeking a third one – something he has not previously always been consistent on even though a third term is widely seen as unconstitutional.
But when it comes to giving immigrants full rights in US law in the face of Trump’s long-promised campaign of mass deportations, Trump was less clear on the need for due process and following US law and court decisions.
TVNL Comment: Maybe, just maybe, someone should read the US Constitution to this ignorant man. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee that no one can be deprived of "life, liberty, or property" without due process of law.
