Democrats, White House reject Donald Trump's demand for 'termination' of Constitution

Former President Donald Trump has called for the 'termination' of the constitution of the US, and his call has been condemned by the White House. The comments were made on the Truth social network.

Agencies
Former President Donald Trump made startling remarks calling for the end of the US constitution on his social network 'Truth' on Saturday. He also repeated his claim that he had been the one who won the 2020 elections and accused big tech companies of collusion with the Democrats against him. He also made allegations of widespread and massive fraud and asked if he should be returned to power. Democrats-controlled White House has rejected Trump's demand, according to reports.

White House Response

The White House has responded to the comments of Trump by saying that they are an anathema to the nation's soul and that the love of the nation is not conditional on winning.

The spokesperson also said that the comments of Trump should be universally condemned, which could be an indirect criticism of the Republicans for not criticising the statements made by Trump.
