Trump just violated his presidential oath and attacked constitution in explosive statements
Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy with a fiery online rant about deporting immigrants, raising serious concerns among legal experts and constitutional scholars.
In a recent post on his Truth Social platform, Trump strongly pushed for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, making statements that many believe violate the U.S. Constitution and his presidential oath.
Trump is now leaning on an old law from 1798 called the Alien Enemies Act a wartime law that hasn’t been widely used since World War II when it was linked to internment camps. Earlier this month, the U.S.
Supreme Court allowed him to use this law to carry out large-scale deportations, especially targeting individuals allegedly involved in violent gangs like Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua or the MS-13 gang. While the court approved the use of the law, it emphasized that people being deported must be given a chance to defend themselves legally.
However, Trump’s recent statements suggest he’s not interested in offering those legal rights. In his post, he wrote, “We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years.” He added that the sheer number of immigrants he wants to remove makes it impossible to follow the legal process.
This message seems to directly conflict with the U.S. Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees that no person not just citizens can be stripped of their rights to life, freedom, or property without due process, which includes a fair hearing or trial. Experts on Reddit’s legal forums are calling Trump’s words a “clear betrayal” of his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. They argue that he’s openly rejecting one of the most basic principles of American democracy due process.
Already, hundreds of people accused of gang affiliations have reportedly been deported from the U.S. without any court hearing. Many were sent to the massive CECOT prison in El Salvador, even after lower courts tried to block those removals.
Trump defended his actions by saying he’s doing what he was elected to do: remove dangerous criminals from the country. He blamed the courts including the Supreme Court for slowing down the process, claiming they’re under pressure from the political left. He praised Justice Samuel Alito for supporting his position and continued to call the situation “ridiculous,” ending his post with his usual slogan: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Critics fear this kind of rhetoric — where a sitting or former president openly dismisses constitutional protections — sets a dangerous example. If leaders can ignore the rule of law without consequences, they warn, it could undermine the very foundation of American democracy.
