1:17Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump argued in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that fulfilling his ambitious campaign promise to rapidly carry out mass deportations may take precedence over giving immigrants the right to due process under the Constitution, as required by courts.
When asked by “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker asked if he felt the need to "uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?” Trump replied “I don’t know,” Trump replied. “I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.”
MSNBC's The Weekend host and guest react to Trump's answer.
