Comment on Donald Trump tells court he had no duty to ‘support’ the US Constitution
random65837@lemmy.world 11 months agoCan 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.

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?

ROFLMAO, Your pedantic back pedaling knows no boundaries… You know what you said, you know what you meant. This is over.
