Why not? Because it\u2019s never been done. And it likely never will be done.<\/p>\n<p>However \u2026 that\u2019s what came from Donald John Trump over the weekend, as he called for the suspension of all laws and rules, including those prescribed in the U.S. Constitution. His goal \u2014 to no one\u2019s surprise \u2014 is to install himself as POTUS.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this important, given that there will be no suspension of the Constitution? It\u2019s important because Trump remains a topic of talking heads around the nation and his utterly insane notion of running for president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>I remain highly dubious his so-called \u201ccampaign\u201d will proceed.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important also to note that this individual who is so manifestly unfit for public office at any level must be scorned and made\u00a0<em>persona non grata<\/em>\u00a0in the American political network.<\/p>\n<p>That this individual would suggest such a thing reveals a truly astonishing level of arrogance, ignorance and nihilism that I \u2014 for one \u2014 have never, ever seen in a prominent American politician.<\/p>\n<p>All of this also is to suggest an astounding gullibility among many Americans that this individual should be considered a major political figure at all. Except that he is one for reasons that totally and utterly escape my level of understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is an enemy of the Constitution. Consider that he took an oath in January 2017 as president to \u201cprotect and defend\u201d our nation\u2019s governing document, only to toss it proverbially into a trash heap by (a) refusing to concede he lost an election, (b) inciting the assault on our government on 1\/6 and (c) declaring his desire to suspend the Constitution and reinstall himself as POTUS.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I take great pleasure in asserting that this criminal never will be elected to any public office again. If only the gullible morons who believe the rubbish that flows from what passes for this guy\u2019s brain could grasp the notion that they are following the machinations of monster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/highplainsblogger.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc noopener\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question came to me today from someone I love very much: What does it mean to \u201csuspend the Constitution.?\u201d My answer: I have no idea.
