“You can’t just love America when it wins,” he added.
Trump’s message on the Truth Social platform reiterated his baseless claim from 2020 that the election was stolen. But he went a step further, suggesting that the country abandon one of its founding documents.
“Massive Fraud of this type and scale allows for the termination of all Rules, Regulations and Articles, even those enshrined in the Constitution,” Trump wrote.
The post came a day after Twitter’s new boss, Elon Musk, said he would reveal how Twitter was involved in “free speech suppression” in the run-up to the 2020 election. But his “Twitter profile” doesn’t suggest the tech giant is bowing to the Democratic Party’s wishes.
“Unprecedented Fraud Requires Unprecedented Treatment!” Trump followed up Saturday afternoon in another post on Truth Social.
Trump, who announced last month he would run for president again, helped launch Truth Social after being banned from Twitter on Jan. 1. On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol was attacked. Musk has said he will allow Trump to return to Twitter, but the former president has yet to rejoin the platform.
Trump’s persistent and baseless attacks on the results of the 2020 election culminated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters. Many Republican candidates also echoed his false claims ahead of this year’s midterm elections, but they lost efforts to win key state jobs.
In the weeks following the midterm elections, Trump continued to lie about the 2020 election being rigged when announcing his next bid for the White House.
On Saturday, the Democratic National Committee joined several other politicians in condemning his remarks.
“Trump’s words and actions are unacceptable, they incite hatred and political violence, and they are dangerous,” the congressman said. Don Byer (D-Va.) wrote in a tweet.
“Trump just called for a suspension of the Constitution, the final punishment for ZERO Republicans, especially those who call themselves ‘Constitutional Conservatives,'” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) wrote on twitter.
The former president also enticed Republican leaders to weigh in on his claims, as he has done before.
“I wonder what Mitch McConnell, RINOS, and all the weak Republicans who failed to get the 2020 presidential election approved and quit fast enough are thinking now?” he wrote in a subsequent Truth Social post Saturday.
