Friend,

The warning signs continue to grow. And they are coming directly from the
Oval Office.

For more than 100 days, President Trump has used the powers of his second
term to push a lawless, authoritarian agenda. And now, in a national
television interview this weekend, he made statements that confirm the
danger is not only real but growing.

He was asked two questions no president should ever hesitate to answer.

First: Is he obligated to uphold the Constitution?

His response: “I don’t know.”

Second: Are all people in the United States entitled to due process of
law, a right guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment?

Again: “I don’t know.” ^[ [link removed] ]

This is not a warning about the future. It is a crisis that is upon us.
Trump, now well into his second term, swore an oath to preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution. Yet he now tells us he doesn’t know if he is
bound by that oath.

[1]Take urgent action now to help stop Trump’s assault on the
Constitution. >>

The Constitution is not a suggestion. Due process is not a courtesy. They
are the bedrock of our democracy and the only shield protecting the people
from unchecked government power.

When a sitting president refuses to affirm those principles, the threat is
not theoretical. It is happening now.

Trump’s first term brought corruption, cruelty, and repeated attacks on
democratic institutions. His second term has already escalated the
assault. His latest remarks confirm what many have feared – he does not
see himself bound by the limits of law or the rights of the people.

If we do not resist now, the erosion of our rights will deepen. History
has shown where this path leads.

People For the American Way is mobilizing to confront Trump’s lawless
agenda, expose his dangerous views, and defend the constitutional rights
now under open attack. But we cannot succeed without your help.

[ [link removed] ]Defend the Constitution. Confront Trump’s lawless agenda. Give now. >>

Trump’s words were not careless. They were not hypothetical. They were a
declaration of how he views his power and the rights of the people he was
elected to serve.

Trump does not respect the Constitution. He does not believe in due
process. And he has now told the nation, in his own words, how little he
values the rights and freedoms that are the bedrock of a democracy for all
the people.

We must take him at his word and act now.

[ [link removed] ]Join the fight. Defend democracy. Help stop this crisis before more
rights are lost. >>

Thank you for being part of this fight.
