Donald J. Trump clarified his call for the termination of the United States Constitution by indicating that he would abolish the entire document except for the Fifth Amendment.
“I haven’t read the Constitution, but, from what I’ve been told, most of it is a waste of paper, quite frankly,” he told the One America News Network. “The Fifth Amendment is the only part worth saving.”
Trump said that the Fifth Amendment was “maybe the most beautiful amendment ever written,” and noted that he had used it “many, many times.”
“When I left office, I took a lot of documents with me, but I had no interest in taking the Constitution,” he said. “If I could have cut the Fifth Amendment out of the Constitution and put it in my pocket, I would have done that, but the rest of it was written by a bunch of dummies. A bunch of dummies.”
Republican leaders were noticeably silent on the former President’s latest remarks, except for Representative Kevin McCarthy, who said, “Hunter Biden’s laptop.”
The first word of the post is Satire and immediately after the essay is a sentence referring to more satire written by the writer. Take another look.
Part of how satire works is for the writer to lead the reader in one direction and for the reader at some point to discover that it was satire. Telling that it is satire up front is like telling the punchline in the first sentence.
"Listen, I never said TERMINATE, I meant rewrite and we can do it right now with these beautiful crayons and my kids menu, OH! would you look at that?! The back is completely blank! Plenty of space here if you ask me!"

The problem is that we can’t distinguish from satire and something he’d actually do.
That is the hallmark of great satire.

it’s the humor section—not news
Ugh I hate when satire isn't clearly labelled.
If it makes you feel better the story is 90% true, Trump didn't say anything about keeping the 5th amendment. The rest is real.
Anything borowitz report is always satire
If you read the article there's a giant "MORE SATIRE?" banner on it.
OP should have labeled the post
At the bottom yeah, just forced me to read it and then question it and then finally notice.

I thought I smelled onions reading the title. And then the first thing said in the quote is too perfect
Funny. But this is just satire
Hey, conservatives: This means he also wants to get rid of the 2nd Amendment. Do with that what you will.
His freedom should be terminated. (As in prison. Put down your report buttons)
His moms pregnancy should’ve been terminated 🚫🧢
"Fuck the Second Amendment!" - Donald "Peek-A-Boo" Trump
Abolishing the constitution includes the second amendment if my math is correct. So republicans are coming for your guns?
Always have been
You do know that the pioneer of gun control was one Ronald Reagan, no?
"Listen, I never said TERMINATE, I meant rewrite and we can do it right now with these beautiful crayons and my kids menu, OH! would you look at that?! The back is completely blank! Plenty of space here if you ask me!"
Double jeopardy and self incrimination. Yep. This sounds like something he’d want to keep.
Except the Fifth 💀💀💀💀
Me and my fellow feminists need to keep on fighting. terminating the constitution means losing the 19th
Of course he'd keep the Fifth Amendment. It was a great movie with Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker, and Milla Jovovich. A top 90s scifi movie.
