Headline? Did Trump really say that a constitutional amendment is unconstitutional? Or is this some half-educated hack at Politico?

Trump is doubling down on this, because he’s right.

Trump said the way the amendment is being interpreted is unconstitutional.

I listened to the whole thing. Trump did not use “unconstitutional”.

I saw the exchange. The headline is a false characterization by a half-educated hack. Trump simply said the present interpretation of the amendment will need to be challenged and may well be found to be wrong. Indeed, several scholarly articles were posted here on the same issue. Trump took an entirely defensible position. The whole bit about repealing the Fourteenth Amendment is just an alarmist straw man.

Shamelessly made up.

Trump said they have a different interpretation and are going to test it in the courts.
