Trump probably had his fingers crossed while he took the oath.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There's only one correct answer and that's not it...
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!
I dont even trust the voting system. There has been many attempt at manipulating the results. Maybe America didnt allow this.
Doesnt matter though. This guy is awful and dangerous as president.
THERE IS NO ADULT WAITING IN THE WINGS TO SWOOP IN AND SAVE YOUR NATION! BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE! THE REASON NO ONE IS STOPPING THIS IS EVERYONE IS BUSY ASKING "WHY IS THIS SHIT ALLOWED!"!
What are you doing then? I see a lot of people chastising others for not doing anything while also not doing anything
A mob-led "American Constitutionalist Revolution of 2025" has a nice ring to it
"I don't think so" is what he meant
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.
I AGREE! The Founders had NO IDEA what the Future would be LIKE when they Wrote it!
-People who VIGOROUSLY DEFEND School Shooters because of the Second Amendment!
That's because he can't spell it without looking at his phone
Get. Him Out!
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 treats it will all the seriousness that he treats his wedding vows.
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 ?
I've been thinking that for nearly ten years now.
Oh yeah same. I was in 5th grade when trump first won and from the get go i could tell he was full of shit. I was taught very young not to trust the rich lol
Thankyou for making me feel very old :) Btw, don't trust anyone with something to sell.
When you have a mom who works in fraud prevention you learn stuff like that very young lol
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.

Yes, very fearful too, but worse even: selfish, hateful and evil.

You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?
They don't care. All they care about is their in-group is strong and the out-group is punished. They're shitty people.
I saw a guy today with two bumper stickers. One said "Trump" the other said "I love the constitution". I wonder what he would say about this?
They don't really love The Constitution. They only like the first two.
They think free speech means no one is allowed to disagree with them. Otherwise they say their right to free speech is being violated.
"Help! I'm being disagreed with! Arrest then for violating my freedom of speech!"
This is exactly how Conservatives think.
Only when it benefits them, however.
Nonsense. He would say nonsense. Because they don't care. They care as much about sounding serious as they do about other people.

he cant swear the truth, because he wants to violate it.
He and his ilk are traitors.
I'd more believe he said he doesn't know because he doesn't know what it is but has been briefed about it. Instead of some tongue-in-cheek admission to further fascism. If he didn't know and hadn't been briefed I think he would've lied that he's the expert on the Constitution.
Still shouldn't be president tho.
"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.
