Trump says he never swore to 'support' the Constitution. Therefore, he claims he's not bound by it; hence, he will run again in 2028

1. demented old fart

his brain is clogged with fat from too many cheeseburgers.

[elleng]

2. Guess he forgot.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required

[Bluethroughu]

3. He has not followed the law yet...

When will the felonies criminal be held to account???

He's saying he will not take an oath to the Constitution and will not support it.
He is disqualified.

[FBaggins]

4. Fake

The underlying quote is trumps saying a year ago that the 14th amendment doesn’t bar him from running in 2024. He hadn’t made any claim that he can run in 2028

[pnwmom]

20. Yeah, he has. But he framed it in a way that gave him deniability.

“I SUSPECT,” DONALD TRUMP RECENTLY told House Republicans, that “I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to figure something else out.’

23. Steve Bannon is making that argument, though

Somehow, strongmen seem to manipulate the law and local constitutions to extend their terms usually from 4 to 6 years, and some have successfully eliminated restrictions on running for third and fourth terms. I don't know if that is possible within our system.

[FBaggins]

24. It isn't (possible)

The constitution would have to be amended

We’re being trolled.

[Irish_Dem]

26. If Trump wants to run again, who would stop him?

[Kid Berwyn]

33. "Not I!"

[Kilgore]

28. Your taking all the fun away!!

[dweller]

5. Do we have to start all over

Counting his lies ?
Or do they keep accumulating from 2016 ?
Are we at 50.000 yet ?
🤔



✌🏻

[Deuxcents]

6. Someone has the video of him taking the oath with 2 bibles..one was used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861

Also used by Barack Obama in 2009 and 2013! And the other, A Bible his mother gave him as a gift.for his 9th birthday. Another hoax?

[tanyev]

7. You're a very unhealthy 78, sir.

Trying to claim a technicality about your sworn oath will probably be the least of your problems by 2028.

[Cha]

8. I just read on here today that he said he's

"not worried about Mump being the pres because it's in the CONSTITUTION"!!!!!!! Paraphrasing.

And, he's not a "sir".. he's a SICK FUCK & a Fascist, Fetterman.

[arthritisR_US]

18. Hey luv, I really don't understand this reply, what am i missing?

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. Your post contains misinformation, you should delete it

There’s plenty of facts available about Trump’s corruption, incompetence and evil doings- this post contains none of them

[lame54]

10. Hear that Fetterman?

[CatWoman]

40. What's with the "Fetterman" comments?

[Baitball Blogger]

11. If this doesn't qualify him for the 25th solution, I don't know what does.

He hasn't been inaugurated yet. I say we start writing petitions that he shouldn't be allowed to be president until he gets sworn in properly with the vow to defend the Constitution.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

12. The supreme court is too blame

for all this crap

[arthritisR_US]

17. They fecking are those corrupt assholes😡

[Rhiannon12866]

13. He took an oath to support the Constitution when he was sworn in, has he forgotten that already??

[Retrograde]

14. Just "preserve, protect, and defend"

yeah, nothing in the Constitution about "supporting", which Donnie will interpret to mean whatever he wants it to mean.

[Ping Tung]

15. His tragic bone-spur prevented from winning the Vietnam war. It must be acting up again to keep

him from taking the oath. I guess he'll have to keep posing, kissing, and fondling the flag.

[Skittles]

16. ONCE AGAIN

CAN I GO ONE FUCKING DAY WITHOUT SEEING TRUMP'S FISHLIPS

[Grokenstein]

19. "Hence" he should not be allowed to occupy the Oval Office.

Nor any of his misadministration be allowed to take his place, including unofficial figures like Li'l Lord Elon.

Two can play that game, supper chunks. Let's fucking go.

[GoodRaisin]

21. The states have to follow the Constitution when they print their ballots.

He’ll need to do better than that.

[WestMichRad]

22. "I didn't really mean it!"

So he doesn’t feel any obligation to “protect and defend “ the constitution.

[hatrack]

25. "Had my fingers crossed on the Bible!!! Neener neener neener neener!!!!

[JohnSJ]

27. WTF does the idiot think the oath he took when he was sworn in meant. He really needs to be institutionalized along

with the rest of his rethug cult

[Timeflyer]

29. Only suckers and losers support the Constitution. What's in it for him?

[Fla Dem]

30. Did he not take the Presidential Oath of Office in 2017? Will he not take it in January 2025?

"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."

[CrispyQ]

31. Will he get Roberts to craft a new oath for the 2025 inauguration?

"I, Donald J Trump, swear fealty to Donald J Trump."

[Septua]

32. It's Trump being Trump

His brain works in a unique way, always distracting attention away from his incompetence to some outrageous topic that will lead the news cycle; like taking control of Greenland or the Panama Canal or making Canada the 51st state.

If 2026 brings a Blue wave to Congress, the first order of business should be impeachment proceedings.

[4th]

34. I mean except for the oath of office? He did take that once already. n/t

[PCIntern]

35. Seditious and traitorous behavior now OK.

[LonePirate]

36. Where's Father Time when you need him?

[Hotler]

37. Did Garland fail his oath of office? Did he ever push to get the orange one declared a 'Domestic Enemy'?

You know, to protect against all enemies foreign and domestic. Foreign enemies get a Seal Team 6 boot up their ass, domestic enemies seem to get the keys to the country. Oh well.

39. Trump is a spoiled brat toddler who just speaks off the top of his rat's nest.

His handlers take care of the rest.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

41. Swearing to "uphold and defend" the US Constitution...

Is the SAME as "supporting" it and all that it contains.

Just goes to show tRump's limited vocabulary and understanding of words have become more obvious.
