In reply to the discussion: Trump has a social media toddler tantrum after attending SCOTUS birthright citizenship hearing [View all]

(1,672 posts)15. Not quite, if you closely watch the oath footage
he never puts his hand on the Bible.
It was very strange that no one reminded him and no fundamentalist Christians said anything afterward.
You had Hair Furor standing in front of Melania Robot who held the Bible out in front of him. He just stood there without placing his hand on the book.
This was after he promised to be dictator on Day One. My thought is that he knew he would constantly challenge the Constitution beyond just day one. And that as a superstitious person, he didn't want to make the oath religiously sacred.
Where was the media? Where were the Christians? All the Republicans concerned over Presidential dementia? Not a peep.

OP
One does not have to have a hand on a particular book for an oath to be valid.

Also in none of the pictures can you see the left hand. I say it was behind his back, fingers crossed.

Everything is "STUPID" to this "social media toddler". He is a joke, a farce. I'm sure he has dementia.

They found out the hard way but got stuck. We found out the hard way and did it again.

I hope the Court goes 9-0 because none of them will follow Trump this far down the road.

Barron is definitely an anchor baby, but Melania's a naturalized US citizen now.

I'm not sure how Mexico's policies determine the content of our Constitution. I find your reply otherwise informative

Even though Mexico has birthright citizenship in their constitution, it's not as easy to get a birth certificate as US

Thank you for the response. I'm trying to digest this info with little knowledge of Mexican constitutional protections.

DJ is also just a school playground bully. He thinks that SCOTUS is part of his playground.

There are countries that will consider you a citizen if you were born there whether you like it or not. They will always

More countries have birthright citizenship than a constitutional right to own guns
