Trump's List of Constitutional Violations, Year 1, Term 2

Trump swore an oath, twice: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." In the 12 months since he last said those words, he has trampled over the Constitution rather than “preserve, protect and defend” it. Here are numerous examples of this blatant disregard for the Constitution (by no means a comprehensive list):

1st Amendment Offenses
- Disney/ABC
- Paramount/CBS
- BBC
- CNN
- New York Times
- The Wallstreet Journal
- Harvard University
- Columbia University
- University of Pennsylvania
- Brown University
- Cornell University
- Princeton University
- Northwestern University
- Stanford University
- Rutgers University
- Tulane University
- George Mason University
- Jimmy Kimmel
- Stephen Colbert
- And many more

4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendment Offenses
- Hundreds of thousands of warrantless arrests by ICE including US citizens and green card holders

10th Amendment Offenses
- Threats of Trump government taking control of certain federal elections

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution (the "Appointments Clause") offenses
- Lindsey Halligan
- John Sarcone
- Alina Habba
- Donald Kinsella

Lack of Law Enforcement Leadership
- Pardoned more than 1,500 individuals convicted in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol
- Political prosecutions
o James Comey
o Letitia James
o Jerome Powell (Trump appointee)
o Lisa Cook
o John Bolton (Trump appointee)
o Mark Kelly
o Elissa Sltokin
o Jason Crow
o Maggie Goodlander
o Chris Deluzio
o Chrissy Houlahan
o Chris Krebs
o Miles Taylor
o John Brennan

Before long, if he is to continue on his present course, he is going to find it necessary to violate the 2nd Amendment too!
