Did Trump Suggest The Constitution Was Slowing Him Down?
During an interview with Fox News to discuss his first 100 days as president, Trump denounced the constitutional system of checks and balances as “archaic.”
“It’s a very rough system. It’s an archaic system,” Trump said. “It’s really a bad thing for the country.”
Meanwhile, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told ABC on Sunday that the president is thinking about amending or even abolishing the First Amendment to stifle what they consider to be unfair media criticism.
TG: He did not specifically state the constitution, but the things he complained about are mostly things from the constitution. The headline made it look more direct than it actually was. Here are several articles covering it:
