‘The Presidential oath, which the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment surely knew, requires the President to swear to ‘preserve, protect and defend’ the Constitution — not to ‘support’ the Constitution,’ read a filing from the former president’s attorneys
Why are you complaining to me, while the Independent must have made the same mistake in your eyes?
LOL! I’m not, unless by “complaining” you mean not misquoting the article. I’ll take you not answering a simple yes/no question as a no. So now on top of you misquoting the article, now you’ve doubled down and now saying the author is wrong as well…priceless!
The article is titled: “Donald Trump tells court he had no duty to ‘support’ the US Constitution”. You are claiming that this is incorrect, since Trump didn’t tell the court this. Why are you not complaining to the Independent?
No, I’m not. I could give a rats ass what the title is, the content of said article doesn’t say that. Clickbait must be a new thing for you. So for the 3rd time, can you quote TRUMP saying that? Yes or No? YOU specifically said above this was the PRESIDENT of the unitited states saying this, so where are you getting that quote? The article referenced the lawyers defense, not a direct quote of Trump.
Also, why would I complain to the Independent? Your life may be so uneventful that you email authors of everything you disagree with and have questions about, sorry, I got more going on than that.
Can you show me where I stated that it was a “direct quote of Trump”?
Your life is uneventful enough to keep complaining to me, so I figured you’d do the same to the professional news organization that actually did what you accuse me of doing.
Already did that, but OK.
No, I don’t “keep complaining to you” I called you out on your misquoting the article, and you can’t keep your mouth shut. Feel free to do that at any time.
Notice how that quote doesn’t say that it’s a “direct quote of Trump”? That “Trump said it”? I’m calling you out on misquoting me right now, so please follow your own advice.
You said he “literally declared it” nice try.
Yes, and you might notice “declare” is a different word from “say”. Merriam-Webster for example has the definition 1a):
Trumps lawyers, as his legal representatives, made his legal position known formally, officially and explicitly. Couldn’t be a better fit. So what are you going on and on about?
