‘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
Can you show me where I stated that it was a “direct quote of Trump”?
Already did that, but OK.
Maybe, but this goes much further. This is a president of the United States literally declaring himself not to be duty-bound to the constitution, the one document that limits their power.
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.
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.
Yes, and you might notice "declare" is a different word from "say". Merriam-Webster for example has the definition 1a):
to make known formally, officially, or explicitly
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?
Of course he knows what he said. He was able to explain it to you using a dictionary… which means you don’t even understand English let alone what you’re talking about.
