“This should be allowed! Whaaa!!!

Why isn’t Congressman Adam Schiff being brought up on charges for fraudulently making up a statement and reading it to Congress as if this statement, which was very dishonest and bad for me, was directly made by the President of the United States? This should never be allowed!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2019
Normally, presidents have at least a rudimentary understanding of the constitution. This one, of course, does not and even if he did he doesn’t care what it says.
But just for the record:
The Constitution says that: “for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place”
Trump often say things “shouldn’t be allowed” such as “hillary Clinton should never have been allowed to run for president.” It’s not that he has no respect for the constitution or the principles underlying it, he has no clue about it at all. He simplistically sees everything in life from the perspective of a whining, angry playground bully.
