I think this misrepresents the conversation that actually happened. Paraphrasing, it was something like this:

R: The constitution says you cannot deport people without due process. Do you agree? Trump: No, I'm not sure... R: It says so in the Fifth. Trump: I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. R: Do you agree that you have to follow the constitution? Trump: I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. Due process for millions of people does not sound possible.

While it could be taken from that convo that Trump did say he doesn't know if he should follow the constitution, I think that it is clear that he was probably saying something like "I don't know where the Constitution stands on due process."

I'll say though, it is crazy for him to say he doesn't know what the Constitution says. I know he probably does that for legal reasons. Anyway, for a president who swore to follow the constitution seemingly not knowing anything about the constitution is preposterous, to say the least.

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

"to the best of my ability."

Well, I'd almost argue he's following to the letter.

To Americans in the audience, what do all the clowns that voted for this say right now?

They still gargling his mushroom?

Just like with laws, oaths mean absolutely nothing if they're not enforced.

He gets to claim he's too stupid to understand what those words mean in that order

The incorrect assumption is that he has taken a vow or oath in good faith or with intention to follow through.

Less than ideal, but as luck would have it the French have already crafted a marvelous invention to solve these kinds of problems.

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.

Fanta Führer doesn't give a fuck about our Constitution...

If you can't name all fifty states, you shouldn't be president...

But why go with that when IF YOU ARE A FUCKING FELON YOU SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT.

No, like, he literally doesn't know what that means.

Didn’t trump legally argue during his first term that he doesn’t have to “uphold” the constitution because the specific word “uphold” was not in the oath?

I know I said it and all that. I just don't know if I have to do it

"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.)

Oh shit, our Senators are TWEETING!!!!

Fuck you Raskin, do your fucking job.

You won't believe this 1 crazy trick to do whatever you want while the US president.

Can't he be impeached for breaking his oath?

Maybe the "Office of" part should be dropped 🤣

Ooof, I somehow glossed over the words "Office of" at first and that sentence gets a whole other meaning 😳

Seems pretty cut and dry....
