I believe he is one for one in that department.

He took the oath of office his first term I imagine if he wins a second term he would do it again.

Luckily for him or any other president the oath of office does not require them to tell the truth.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Hmm this made me wonder-preserve, protect and defend...could you say
Biden & Co have done this preserved the country, protected the country and defended the country

Or is the country not as important than the Constitution ?

Sometimes I think both parties are more interested to preserve, protect and defend the party.

Trump agrees to a debate with Fox moderating. Softball questions for Trump. Harris agrees to a debate with ABC. Softball questions for Harris. Maybe an impartial news outfit could moder..... nevermind.

Trump already agreed to the ABC debate and is trying to walk away from it and waving a shiny thing to distract his base. The Fox debate has not been agreed upon.

Harris is talking to several politicians among the Democrats She is looking for a Vice President, so it was said in the news at 11.30 pm.

Remembering how you have mentioned her I wonder if she's looking for a strong VP or ?

Read my post again. Particularly the last line. No debate will be impartial. The post has nothing to do with walking away. Shiny things or otherwise.

Whomever it might be he/she will be stronger and smarter then Harris. That's a given.
