You say that Trump could do whatever he wanted to do at his presidential rallies in 2016 just because it was not a public venue, because Trump paid for the auditorium himself, and because attendees were to be there for him. Did that include encouraging his supporters to attack Anti-Trump demonstrators? No, because that's incitement to riot, which is a criminal act!
I guess you approve of the way Trump said he would pay the hospital bills for any of his friends or supporters who were hurt in these riots, but not one penny for opponents who were injured in the same riots.
You say Trump has never broken the Constitution. Oh no? Well I've got news for you -- Trump IS breaking the Constitution right now, by voter intimidation! He recently sent one of his "tweets" accusing the state of Michigan of "illegally" sending mail-in voting ballots to people. Oh sure, he changed his tweets later, saying that it was not voting ballots that were being mailed, but applications for the ballots, but he continued to use the lie that the applications were illegal, and threatened to cut off government aid to Michigan unless they put a stop to it. He made a similar threat against Nevada! In other words, he's trying to blackmail two states into doing his bidding by threatening them with dire consequences. That's practically extortion! Furthermore, by promoting the idea that mail-in ballots, as well as the applications for them are illegal, he is scaring potential voters into thinking that they'll be breaking the law by sending in their ballots, which means they won't vote at all, and if they don't vote, it means less votes for Joe Biden, and more for Trump! In other words, he's engaging in voter intimidation and voter fraud in order to ensure his reelection, which is not only illegal, but unconstitutional, because it's a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law, and a violation of the Fifteenth Amendment, which gives all citizens the right to vote.
So Trump hasn't broken the Constitution, huh? Not much he hasn't!
You say that Trump could do whatever he wanted to ... (

You don't seem to understand that mail-in ballots open the door for voter fraud.
Let's say that Trump wins in Nov. The Democrats are going to scream to high heaven that there was voter fraud.
So, let's say that the other candidate wins, ( we're not sure yet that it will be Biden, it could even be Hillary, or even Michelle). THEN, the Republicans will scream to high heaven that there was voter fraud. No matter if there WAS any actual fraud, the losers are going to raise mortal hell about. The country is already divided over politics, add to that the division over the Chinese virus, THEN, 6 months later, whoever loses the election will believe without a shadow of a doubt will be VERY angry! Probably 75 million people will be mad as he!! that the winning side cheated. This is what I'm talking about
The country just doesn't need that.
But you're right...I don't believe that Trump has broken the Constitution by tweeting. I never have seen any tweet that was a law.
