    So, if the guy who took an OATH to UPHOLD the CONSTITUTION, does not know if he needs to uphold the Constitution, shouldn't he be removed from office immediately due to a) being mentally incompetent or b) being a treasonous traitor??

    This thread is going to be fun. We will get to see MAGA ignore the fact that they are devoted to a person who not only doesn't respect our Constitution, he clearly had no intention of honoring the oath he took to defend it. That "oath" was apparently meaningless.

    Any and every person who is not opposed to this explicit and overt dereliction of duty clearly puts their political party over our country. Or in this case, their political idol.

    Of course, it's not going to be any surprise, as they proved this already when they saw him try to overturn an election yet still voted for him. But it will be fun to see again.

    This is exactly what they want. Tear up the Constitution if it means more control. They are far from patriots

    It's too bad that the tally of views doesn't show 'Views by MAGA supporters.' It would be nice to see how many of them are viewing this and just ...... scrolling right by.

    "Yeah, so he won't agree to support the Constitution, even though he took an oath to do just that. The Constitution is pretty important, but ....... I love Trump!!!"

    No, because they can't come up with a "but Biden" on this issue.

    But Biden was so out of it for his entire term that his oath to uphold the constitution wasn't even valid, and if it was, he didn't know what the constitution was or how to defend it, and in fact violated it by swearing to uphold it because he was completely mentally incapacitated. MAGA!

    Not factual -- sheer projection on your part. But thanks for being today's contestant in the But Biden game show.

    Dude it was sarcasm. While I think our local trumpists are silly I think even they can see the circular “reasoning” in my post.

    Did Biden do something unconstitutional with "another way"? Fill us in.

    What Trump. actually said with a little more context:

    From John R Lott Jr's X post:
    Washington Post: "Trump says ‘I don’t know’ when asked if he’s required to uphold Constitution"
    Trump's response was more detailed than that.
    Welker: "Are you defying the Supreme Court, sir?"
    Trump: "No. I'm relying on the attorney general of the United States, Pam Bondi, who's very capable, doing a great job. Because I'm not involved in the legality or the illegality."
    Later Trump added.
    "I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said."

    But the anti American media and leftist have to spin it because they’re rooting for America to lose and go back to their senile leadership

    If that nuance is correct, does that make Trump’s oath of office void? Didn’t he swear to uphold the Constitution? And if he doesn’t understand the Constitution, or at least appreciate what it. Means, how can he defend something he doesn’t understand? The oath becomes a nullify, does it not? And wot no oath of office, does that mean none of his EO’s are legitimate?

    Where are all the MAGAs defending this? Is this another disgrace by Trump that they're just going to pretend didn't happen? Weird.
