Even Fox “news” reported the Orange fascist didn’t place his hand on any book during the 2025 inauguration. Apparently as with so many things Americans assumed were requirements for their ‘democracy’, this was just a “norm”. Not that I think this particular detail is worthy of concern as much as the other hugely evil things this admin is doing. But it is telling. He’d never feel found by any ‘oath’ anyway, and certainly doesn’t feel bound by any morals found in any religious book, so it would not have made any difference.
Next time a Republican laments the lack of quality news, remind them that they can blame the FCC under Reagan for repealing the Fairness Doctrine.
Both Sides mentioned.
Why do americans think that god and religion are or should be involved in anything like this? It’s a total useless concept. “God is definitely going to help you” whether you lie or not.
Crazy religious state.
Holdover from the Cold War. Most of our government “in God we trust” type stuff came about in that era as part of the anti-russia/communist movement.
