“In their appeal against the Colorado lawsuit, Trump's lawyers reiterated that Trump technically did not swear an oath to "support" the Constitution. Instead, during his January 2017 inauguration, Trump swore to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution during his role as president.”

"President Trump did not take an oath 'to support the Constitution of the United States.”

Taken on top of Trump’s previous calls of to “ terminate all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” how do all the supposed MAGA “constitutional lovers” reconcile these views?
 
I don’t know, “terminate” and “support” are pretty self defined verbs especially as they apply to the Constitution

So is man and woman except for you dipshits. You people have perverted hundreds of words to fit the leftists narrative and guy still have the balls to say some words are "pretty self defined"? Idiot.

Ah, “terminate the Constitution” and never saying as President you pledge to support the Constitution is not a perversion of words, duh
 
I strongly believe in using words accurately
and I can easily see the difference between ideologically supporting the constitution
and complying with one's commitment to preserve, protect, and defend it.

Trump had no obligation to like the constitution.
I personally don't like the constitution as much as most of you do.

I was legally bound to take my oath, and I kept it.

Trump voluntarily took his oath, and then he shit all over it.
 
Saying that is an absurd stab at trying to find an escape route for crimes done and more planned. I cannot imagine how anyone could buy that without being blind-ass Trumpy.
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 of America.
Perhaps Daffy had his fingers crossed. This is the oath he took.

It won't matter to the MAGA morons. They're in the cult.
 
How did the Colorado judge distinguish the broadly defined word, "support" from "defend", "protect" and "preserve"? Could be applied to each of the three.
