His remarks, almost at the end was the biggest: "...from this day forward the United States of America will be free, Sovereign and independent nation."
Might that indicate that prior to today, we were not?
No. You telling me what it means of course means you inferred something from it, and that the person you’re quoting said something that clearly implied something else they didn’t say. Don’t turn your head in circles here, you just used the wrong word.
Not putting his hand on the Bible is significant. It has meaning. There's no way it doesn't.
Just like in 2020 when the military did not fire a 21 gun salute for Biden. The military at Arlington does not just slip up like that. It all has meaning.
I agree with the tweet. Trump was already president, so swearing on the Bible would have been a dishonest gesture.
There’s no significance to not putting your hand on the Bible. It’s not required at all, not even from a religious perspective. Jesus actually tells us not to swear.
Jesus tells us not to take an oath at all (Matthew 5:34-37). And Trump certainly took an oath. Jesus tells us nothing about whether or not you should place your hand on a bible when you do take an oath.
Which branch of us military wear red coats and tricorn hats
The branch of the U.S. military that historically wore red coats and tricorn hats would be the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. However, this was not a uniform standard across all units, as uniform practices varied significantly. The modern U.S. military does not use these styles in their uniforms, except in ceremonial or historical reenactments:
Red Coats: More commonly associated with British forces during the Revolutionary War, but some American units did wear red as well due to supply issues or existing stocks.
Tricorn Hats: These were indeed used by both American and British forces during the 18th century but have no place in contemporary military attire outside of historical or ceremonial contexts.
If you're referring to current uniforms, no branch of the U.S. military wears red coats or tricorn hats as part of their standard or dress uniforms. However, for historical reenactments or specific ceremonial units, you might see these elements:
U.S. Army: The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) occasionally uses historical uniforms for special events like the "Spirit of America" show at Fort Myer, where they might wear Revolutionary War era attire.
National Park Service: Rangers at historical sites like Independence National Historical Park might wear period costumes for educational purposes or special events.
So, while not part of modern military uniforms, these elements can be seen in historical reenactments or educational settings.
No - Roberts rushed in and began administering the oath before Melania could reach the podium with the bibles, and before the rest of the family could get there to witness it. It was a screw-up that had to be intentional.
There is no requirement for any candidate to swear on a bible, or on anything else. The person is required to raise their right hand and repeat the oath after the person administering it. But that's all.
This was not a comm. It was Roberts messing things up and there's no way it was an accident.
Melania Trump had the Bibles ready (the Trump family Bible and Abraham Lincoln's Bible), but Roberts began administering the oath before she got there.
JD Vance was told raise your right hand and place your hand on the Bible and sware after me, but to Trump, he said raise your right hand and sware after me,Trump did as directed. Critical thinking required
I mean, people keep saying this and yet they keep taking money out of my paycheck and pissing it away on fucking bullshit. Where are they getting the authority to do everything they've been doing if this is the case?
It doesn't surprise me. I look at my brain as a filing cabinet, and it is full. Every new thing I put in it, an old thing comes out. If I get a new phone number or meet someone new, I'll forget an old address, person, or maybe one of my kids. Every once in a while I go through and "shred" stuff that I don't need, or don't care about - and since this was Obama I'm sure I dumped that.

It certainly would infer such a conclusion.
*imply
You infer what it implies.
No. You telling me what it means of course means you inferred something from it, and that the person you’re quoting said something that clearly implied something else they didn’t say. Don’t turn your head in circles here, you just used the wrong word.
signal flag J, looks just like our beautiful FLOTUS HAT today! love it!
Good catch.
Common when 'Ship High In Transit' is the cargo.

I want to upvote but you are at 17 and I just wanna keep it there a little longer : )
Of course, he told us he was a War time President.
Trump didn't place his hand on the Bible? Even with the reason given in that post, that is weird.
There’s no reason to put your hand on the Bible.
It is heavily symbolic. Not putting your hand on it sends a distinct message that does not sit well with me. Optics are very important.
Yeah, you can take this piece information and make Comms in several opposite directions.

Also, they were around before. In 2017 the parade was outside. This year it's probably inside for multiple reasons like safety and weather.
Jan 20, 2017 - President Donald Trump conducts troop review at U.S. Capitol : https://youtu.be/QTDqWabFrx4?t=250
Meanwhile I just like that they wore red because it's my favorite color.

Huh?
What do you mean huh? He’s saying it was a mistake by Roberts and not some super secret comm by Trump
Melania Trump had the Bibles ready (the Trump family Bible and Abraham Lincoln's Bible), but Roberts began administering the oath before she got there.
Here's an article about it:
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-hand-bible-inauguration-maga-blames-supreme-court-john-roberts-2017940
Why if he messed it up could it not have been an accident?
Seems contradictory
Also reading that article. Why is Roberts at fault and not Trump?
He obviously could have put his hand on the Bible
Roberts didn't wait for Melania to get in position before starting to administer the oath. He could have waited a few more seconds, but didn't.
It would have been weird to start taking the oath, then put his hand on the Bible after starting.
Roberts shouldn't have placed him in a position where he'd have to make a scene like that in order to put his hand on the Bible.
Lmao you glowie faggots never change yet still think you can blend in 🤣
I saw his hand was not on the Bible and I was like OMG! Thanks for the clarification.
I'm not ashamed to admit I cried as he gave the oath of office.
Justice Roberts was pointed at by PDJT. That is never a good thing for the person on the other side of that pointing finger!
Just watching RSBN and there’s a military guard by the visitor centre in the capitol and there’s a contingent of red coats in it???

Red was the color of Artillery
Never seen them muster like that
You guys could claim a conspiracy theory if you saw something like a turtle inside a grocery store.
You've probably seen these people before if you've watched any of the fireworks ceremonies on the 4th of July from the DC Mall.

Great find!

Tried so hard to decode the dress coms lmao.... it was in the hat OHHHHhh
I knew something was up. Everything today looked weird but in a good way.
He did. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/20/jd-vance-oath-vice-president-video/77840557007/
Yes he did!
Great decode on Melania’s inauguration fashion!
Wasn’t it a huge deal when Barry didn’t put his hand on the Bible and had to do it again?
I think either he or Roberts messed the oath up so they repeated it. I'm not 100% though - it's fuzzy.
Oh you could be right… i can’t remember either. Isn’t that amazing how we both can’t recall clearly?

😂😂😂 i honestly couldn’t have said that better myself
