    To be fair, there’s only one way to hold him accountable and the people that can won’t.

          I’ve worked with a lot of Americans over the years- and I can confidently say that the one common thing uniting every one of them is that they’re pants-pissingly terrified to admit they may have been wrong about something.

      Oath clearly refers to the physical document. Doesn’t say a thing about the words scribbled on it. That’s why he’s got it framed in the oval office: so he can keep close eye on it and make sure no one crumples it up.

    He took the oath, as did every member of Congress, and every member of our military.

    I suspect we’re going to find out how much the oath is worth.

    “To the best of my ability”

    so technically not a lie.

    (to clairify, because people on the internet tend to be bad at subtlety: I’m calling trump an incompetent moron with the above text. Actively and intentionally destroying the US IS defending it to the best of his ability, because he’s an incompetent moron. Remember, this is a guy who bankrupted a casino more than once.)
