Trump and the Constitution

Former President Donald Trump isn’t known for precise statements, his style includes considerable hyperbole and bloviation. That’s who he is, how he rolls. 

Now there is much consternation and excessive concern about his comments vis-a-vis the Constitution. Here is what he actually posted on his Truth Social platform, as reported by Power Line. 
So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great "Founders" did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!

Most of those expressing horror at his words take it to mean Trump wants to throw out the Constitution. His words can be read that way. 

His words can also be read as the “Massive Fraud” let its perpetrators effectively terminate “ all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” And that his final sentence says what they have done clearly does not comport with the Founders’ intentions.

I will admit I read his words as his inartful defense of the Constitution, not a demand to ignore that document. Which doesn’t mean I agree with his demand for a new election or his own installation. 

The election was hinkey, possibly rigged, but them’s the breaks. He should have anticipated an all-out effort to throw the election and prepared for it, but he didn’t. We go on, even if he can’t.
