John — we always knew President Trump liked to play fast and loose
with the rules, but his latest antics are going to be a
total disaster for our legal system.
According to the Washington Post, President Trump is
encouraging his aides to break the law in order to get his border wall
built. When they balked, Trump upped the stakes, going so far as
offering to PARDON anyone who is later charged with a
crime because they followed POTUS’ orders.
Here’s what the Post said:
“When aides have suggested that
some orders are
illegal or unworkable, Trump has suggested he would
pardon the officials if they would just go
ahead, aides said. He has waved off worries about
contracting procedures and the use of eminent domain, saying
“take the
land,” according to officials who attended the
meetings.” - Washington Post 8/27/19
Let that sink in.
President Trump is so desperate to fulfill one of his campaign
promises that he’s asking folks who work for OUR government to
break the law, take people’s land, and build a wall that won’t
solve a damn thing.
This kind of behavior is unacceptable and unbecoming of
someone who holds the highest office in the land, and it’s
another reason why we NEED to beat Donald Trump in 2020. We cannot —
and we should not — have a president who asks his staff to violate the
law. Our country deserves better.
We’re working hard every day to make sure Donald Trump is a one
term president, and with you in our corner we know we can make it
happen.
Thanks for being a part of our
team, Team Weld
