That was a little (but not much) quicker than I thought:
Trump said in his inaugural speech that:
'Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal & impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law'....
I thought that would be falsified before long... but it now seems on the same day one of the Executive Orders he signed is intended to reverse the 14th amendment that gives automatic citizenship to anyone born on US soil;
So much for the 'constitutional rule of law'...

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 Fairly sure a President can't introduce or nullify an amendment to the US Constitution. Doesn't it have to be proposed by a 2/3 majority of something-or-other *and* voted by a 2/3 majority of both the House and the Senate?
It's just posturing.

Indeed, but that was sort of my point; he's immediately trying to bend constitutional law; my guess is it will go to the USSC but of course as they are mainly his appointees, who know what they might conclude.... but it can in now way be presented as respecting the constitutional rule of law IMO
