Congratulations - you win today's "Whataboutism" award! "Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with 'but what about X?'." Psychologists suggest that this view of arguments is prevalent in political debate because it is driven by partisan bias. When confronted by an opponent with a different political viewpoint, you are more likely to view what they say as an attack to be countered, rather than a point to be debated. Obviously you don't want to address the topic of Trump explicitly calling for terminating the Constitution.
