The party of "patriotism" everyone. This is their guy... the same guy whose defense for trying to overthrow the government and install himself as dictator is "I never said I swore an oath to uphold the constitution"

The presidential oath of office that Trump was required to recite during the swearing in ceremony:
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.
It dOeSn'T sAy "sUpPoRt"!!1! ChEcKmAtE lIbS!!
(I feel dirty now)
The 2nd amendment says nothing about guns/firearms. It was written as arms. It specifically talks about a militia and being able to keep things. It also says that we have the right to obtain the arms of bears (bear arms). There is literally no precedent to allow anyone have a gun.
It’s pretty explicit in what they wanted.
/s
This is why trying to argue based on literal words, and not intent, is dumb.
Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution defines the powers of Congress, including:
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
According to the words of the Constitution, Congress can't appropriate any money to the Air Force.
But didn't you see he had his fingers crossed? That means he doesn't have to do it!
They're trying to play semantic games and claim that supporting is not the same thing is preserving, protecting, and defending. It's a laughably bad argument and hopefully it gets struck down pretty much immediately.
"Preserve, protect, and defend, but not support. Checkmate liberals!!!"

What a piece of shit. How can anyone support this trash?
Because they too are pieces of shit.
Or dumb. Or not paying attention. Or some combination of the above.
Imagine being brainwashed bombarded on a daily basis with messages of how leftist will take over your country and how Trump will save them
"The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots." - H. L. Mencken
wait, so does that mean he was never actually president?
Worse than that, he wants the job again, and he's on his way to being the Republican nominee.
Apparently the oath that military folks take actually has the word "support" in it, but the one the president takes says "preserve, protect and defend."
This man is a tyrant.
No, he is bought by foreign influence and has discovered a way to monetize dismantling the United States
When are we going to collectively decide to excise the cancer that is Christian Conservatism in the U.S.?
All of these morons have happened before and all of these morons will happen again.
Hopefully soon. Republicans have been losing big because of abortion, and they're incapable of controlling the narrative because the lunatics are running the asylum.
Generational change was happening slowly, and then the Republican conspiracy theories with COVID accelerated it as elderly red voters died who could otherwise lived. Abortion being overturned has lit a fire in young people to actually get to the polls too. Going all in on Trump has also irreparably tainted the party for upper middle class who'd otherwise vote for him.
I don't know if the history books will say it was 2020, 2022, 2024, or 2028, but I'm very hopeful that sometime this decade will be when American conservativism is rendered unviable. We just need one more big push.
His supporters should be really mad about this. Generally they are the ones that invoke the Constitution anytime their lifestyle is inconvenienced.
When “Donald Trump says….”
What follows is absolute bullshit.
And Donald Trump said ….
Nothing, you idiots, Donald Trump’s dead, he’s locked in my basement.
Very rarely, Trump is right accidentally. For example, recently he said that the true threat to America is coming from within. He meant the left, but he was accidentally right. The real threat is coming from within the US. To see it, though, Trump just needs to look in a mirror or look at the people attending his rallies.
His personality disorders renders him incapable of supporting the Constitution.
He probably had his fingers crossed and his ears stuffed with gold cheese puffs
Ever think about how if Bill Clinton had called the mother of a recently KIA marine without knowing his name we would still be hearing about it?
I haven't heard about that since the month it happened.
I can't wait for the mental gymnastics MAGA people will do when they get asked about this.
