President Trump says he doesn't know if he needs to uphold the US constitution
May 05, 2025
Washington [US], May 5: US President Donald Trump apparently does not feel bound by the country's constitution. Asked whether he believed he has to "uphold the Constitution," he told NBC News in an interview: "I don't know."
There is legal opposition to countless decisions made by Trump in the first three months of his second term, particularly against his immigration policy.
The president has repeatedly been confronted with the question of whether he will abide by court rulings in all cases.
"I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said," Trump said in the interview with NBC's Meet the Press.
Trump complained that US courts were preventing him from deporting criminal migrants. He spoke of "thousands of people" some of whom he described as "murderers and some drug dealers and some of the worst people on Earth." (DPA)
