Doesn’t even know the presidential oath he pledged.
You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?
Trump probably had his fingers crossed while he took the oath.
There’s only one correct answer and that’s not 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.

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!
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!”!
A mob-led “American Constitutionalist Revolution of 2025” has a nice ring to 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
Are the constitutions all over the world really valid today ?
Get. Him Out!
This what you get, no-vote cowards.
I’m mad at the Democrats for under signing a genocide thus disaffecting their would be voters.
the world is not binary. there are many people who bare part of the responsibility:
- the republican party - all of them
- republican voters
- the democratic party
- no-voters (who didn’t want to “support genocide” and now you have a worse genocide and a bunch of other horrible shit including a shit load of extra war crimes in ukraine for the foreseeable future)
- the media
these and many more can have played a part all at the same time
The media is largely controlled by billionaires and thus republicans by association.
it’s worth calling out all on their own because it surfaces a specific problem… just saying “billionaires ruin everything” isn’t helpful, because it simply shifts blame to a nebulous concept that’s further removed from everyday people
also, following orders is no excuse
That’s valid.
There used to be laws to force news stations to be bipartisan and show both sides.
Copypasta:
The “Fairness Doctrine,” which once required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues, was eliminated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1987.
Ikr, so hard to blame the republicans and the people who didn’t vote for the shit us is in rn /s
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.
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.
More research is always good, as it can deepen our understanding, but the basic outline of what’s going on is already known. A lot of people just don’t want to believe it, because we’re all stuck on the metaphor that we’re all captains of the ship inside our own heads. You see it in this thread; people want to blame non-voters, as if millions of people all had perfect information and all made decisions based upon it through conscious reasoning. Because they’re just—I dunno—bad people? (Which is a completely bonkers belief when you start to dig into it.)
Actually, neuroscience tells us that consciousness doesn’t really exist, except as an emergent phenomenon of sensory experience. Brain scans show that thoughts, feelings, and decisions occur before we’re consciously aware of them; the conscious mind is basically a rationalization machine, inventing narratives about why we did a thing or felt a certain way, only after the fact. And, it’s notoriously bad at it. (The Misattribution of Arousal is one of the classic examples.) So, if you can affect the way that somebody’s brain works, you can in many ways control what the they think and feel.
And that’s exactly what authoritarian demagogues do.
I’ll read that when I have the time since it looks very interesting
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 ?
There has been a lot of study done to ‘normal’ Germans after Hitler took over, I expect the result to overlap.
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.

Yes, very fearful too, but worse even: selfish, hateful and evil.
I can cry too.
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.
“to the best of my abilities” is the loophole here
You guys have abilities?
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.
he cant swear the truth, because he wants to violate it.
