Doesn’t even know the presidential oath he pledged.
You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
This is the oath he had to make when he took office.
Right, but was he lying when he said it? He’s not sure.
He had his fingers crossed…
If I recall, he didn’t even place a hand on the Bible.
Pretty crazy that it’s sworn in the Bible when the state is supposed to be separated from the church
I’m pretty sure each person chooses a document/book to swear on that is core to them. So most people in the US would choose the Bible because they identify as Christian, but if a Jewish person or Muslim person was sworn in they could choose the Torah or Quran. And a non-religuous person could choose anything that they could convinceably argue is important/core to their values.
Disclaimer: I did no research right now to confirm this but that’s what I remember.
I remember one politician being sworn in with a stack of comics.
I did not know this … it is both awesome and interesting.
I think the act of being sworn in should also be on one’s passport, give it more weight that if you break the oath you lose the citizenship.
It’s actually not mandatory that a Bible, or any religious text be used for swearing in a president. There’s nothing stating that a Jewish president couldn’t use the Torah or a Muslim president couldn’t use the Koran. We’ve just only had Christian presidents so far, though not all of them have used bibles for the ceremony.
Separation from church and state only pretty much states that congress can make no laws favoring one religion over another or make any laws prohibiting the practice of one’s religion. To prohibit a president from swearing in on a religious text of their choice would, in and of itself, be a first amendment violation. Saying they have to, would also be a violation. The strict separation of church from the state, freedom from religion or the “wall of separation,” is something people have argued for, but isn’t actually laid out in the constitution.
he didn’t even place a hand on the Bible.
Fact!. For all his claims of being a “Christian”, he couldn’t be bothered.
Probably
A. Pissed it wasn’t one from his merch store
B. Afraid that if he touched a real Bible, he’d burst into flames.
Lies!
His hands are far too tiny for his fingers to cross.
Probably the reason why he didn’t swear on the Bible.
it does say to the best of his ability. so maybe he is technically doing it?
You think he was awake for that part?
The “best of his ability” part is troubling because I have zero faith in his ability to do anything except turn our country into a cesspool.
Although all it would take is one phone call to release Kilmar, Trump never learned how to use a phone. Checkmate, libtards.
He was thinking of the concepts of his own constitution, not the current one…
Pressed whether his administration is following the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which says no person “shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” Trump said he wasn’t sure.
“I don’t know. It seems – it might say that, but if you’re talking about that, then we’d have to have a million or 2 million or 3 million trials,” he said. “We have thousands of people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and some of the worst people on Earth.”
It might say that? Might? This isn’t something that is debatable you hippopotamic dung heap. That’s what it fucking says.
“Well yeah it says that but it’d be pretty inconvenient, so…”
Thank you for the new word!
Apparently I need to rewatch that movie!
Yeah, 3 million trials to catch the thousands of criminals in his own words… or maybe instead of trials first, they could maybe only be rounded up if there is any actual reason to believe they are a criminal in the first place. Then it would only be thousands of trials and all the problems being caused by rounding up 900+ innocent people per 1 criminal, would all of a sudden go away.
Spot on, but Hippo dung is healthy for the environment. Krasnov is not.
…you sure? I think he’d make decent fertilizer.
Only in the polluted Russian soil, everywhere else, it would be considered a bio-hazard.
Now that’s a testable hypothesis!
*clicks pen*
It would be a mixture of Diet Coke and cheeseburgers leaking out into the healthy soil.
He’s gonna make a great urinal one day. Probably the most popular in the world…
“don’t know” ?? isn’t that like the first thing in his job description?
Yes. In fact, you couldn’t be more correct about the matter.
I would describe his response to the question as fully preposterous.
WHY IS THIS SHIT ALLOWED! THIS MAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN ANY RESPONSIBLE POSITION! HE SHOULDN’T BE IN CHARGE OF A LEMONADE STAND MUCH LESS A COUNTRY! WHY DID AMERICA ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN! THE MAN DOESN’T WANT TO DO HIS JOB OF UPHOLDING THE CONSITUTION! THAT’S LIKE A DOCTOR SAYING THEY DON’T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH! TRUMP AND ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS NEED TO BE TRIED FOR TREASON! WHY HAS THIS MADNESS GONE ON SO LONG!
A mob-led “American Constitutionalist Revolution of 2025” has a nice ring to it
When you say “Allowed” there is no one above him to stop him at this point besides the other branches of government.
Yes, I’m asking why the other branches of government are allowing this
I’m pretty sure this is a bot account
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
-President Trump, just this year.
He doesn’t know what the Declaration of Independence is — something that’s taught all through grade and middle school in the U.S. The odds are he has no idea what that pesky Constitution says, nor does he care.
The only time when “love and unity” isn’t the correct answer he uses it.
All I can do is laugh at this point. This regime is so buffoonish and so open with their intentions that I genuinely wonder how people fell for this shit and continue to believe it. Are we really this fucking dumb ?
Yeah, we sit around and laugh about how stupid he is while he ignores the law and constitution to the detriment of the freedom of citizens and immigrants alike.
We are literally that stupid.
I want an extensive study done on the brains of maga supporters when this is over. I need to know what is going on up there that makes them act the way they do.
Same thing that’s been going on for millenia now. Humans being humans, look around the globe and through history. This is not new and we are not special.
Sucks though.
There has been a lot of study done to ‘normal’ Germans after Hitler took over, I expect the result to overlap.
I’ve concluded that MAGA people are as afraid of diversity, equity, and inclusion as normal people are of fascism. Their brains react to things like social acceptance of transgender people with the same horror to which our brains react to Trump sending people to concentration camps.
So they’re literally just backwards idiots ?
Yes, very fearful too, but worse even: selfish, hateful and evil.
I can cry too.
It’s ok, he learned his lesson
-Susan Collins
If this comment doesn’t make the case for impeachment idk what does
Upholding the constitution is the most basic part of the job.
If he “doesn’t know” if he can do that he is unfit for the position and should be removed immediately. Not even counting all the other violations of the constitution his administration has committed in just the first 100 days alone

Traitor cunt.
Oh he literally forgot the oath of the presidency? Sounds like a good reason to invoke the 25th amendment.
I always go back to that early coronavirus briefing where a reporter questioned his authority to dictate state government lockdown policies and he just sat there stunned, repeating “when you’re the president your authority is total because you have total authority, it’s total…” It’s been clear for years that this fucking guy never understood the job description, and rather than learning anything from experience, he’s having it rewritten. The constitution isn’t going to save us from that.
He has no idea what he is doing. Never has.
No, no he knows what he’s doing. He’s just not doing anything for anyone else other than himself and his ilk.
He does not. He’s above any and all laws. I don’t know why, but he his. The Constitution is meaningless to a king.
I don’t know why
Because nobody is both willing and able to impose accountability on him.
At this point I’m just curious how long this will go on. What would have to tilt for a group of politicians to overhaul his ass and the r’s supporting him?
I believe it will continue until the politicians are scared of an angry mob kicking in their door.
Food shortages will do it.
