The Constitution is only important to him for suing his perceived enemies. That's it.

Just like the Bible he profits from, he never reads the Constitution. Boring. Doesn't understand a sentence.

it's all irrelevant because Larry and David Ellison own Paramount and this becomes all about securing billions in government contracts for Oracle.

It's safe to say that Trump doesn't express enthusiasm about ANYTHING unless he's receiving something substantial in return.

And, he's a guy who "took a taste" from his own charities, so none of this is unexpected.

...part of me "wants to know" and part of me doesn't, but I'm one of those people who takes a deep breath and dives in, because we can never turn a blind eye to what Trump and his cronies are getting away with.
