> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > The most disrespectful creature on the planet. I’m sure MAGA will love this but how can his Catholic supporters look at this and think it’s funny? Some theorize that the Trumpites came up with this to distract from Donald’s recent Executive Order, which brings us closer to being an actual Police State: > [@](#): > > On April 28, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens.” The first section lays out the purpose of the order, which purports to prosecute state and local authorities who impede law enforcement objectives, use federal resources—including military assets—to support state and local law enforcement, and more. … > [@](#): > > …Trump has issued an executive order that will make it even harder to hold cops accountable—and flirts blatantly with martial law. Named the dystopian “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens,” this new order purports to “unleash high-impact local police forces; protect and defend law enforcement officers wrongly accused and abused by State or local officials; and surge resources to officers in need.” > The aggressive language in the order could be cribbed from any military police state in the annals of history… THIS is something the Regime would prefer we fail to notice, in the flurry of (well-justified) outrage over the genuinely-insulting Pope image. > **[Trump Signs Order ‘Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement’](https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/trump-signs-order--strengthening-and-unleashing-america-s-law-enforcement)** > > The executive order directs the attorney general to “maximize the use of federal resources,” including “military and national security assets,” to “aggressively police crime.” [https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-executive-order-police-martial-law/‪](https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-executive-order-police-martial-law/%E2%80%AA) ---

Protect “Innocent Citizens”. Now, those innocent citizens wouldn’t happen to be straight, white, Christian males who donate to and support Donald Trump, would they? ---

Well, today I saw this: [Trump says, ‘I don’t know,’ when asked if he’s required to uphold Constitution](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/04/trump-nbc-interview-constitution-economy/) _The president also downplayed fears of a recession and spoke of potential successors when his four-year term ends in an NBC interview._ > WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump, asked during [an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,”](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-rejects-concerns-prices-economic-uncertainty-defends-agenda-rcna203512) whether he believes that he needs to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, responded, “I don’t know.” > > The comment came as Trump remained adamant that he wanted to ship undocumented immigrants out of the country and said it was inconceivable to hear millions of cases in court, insisting he needed the power to quickly remove people he said were murderers and drug dealers. > > “I was elected to get them the hell out of here, and the courts are holding me from doing it,” he said. > > Pressed on whether he still needs to abide by the Constitution, he said, “I don’t know.” > > “I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said,” he said. I guess Trump is technically OK, the oath doesn’t say “uphold” according to this: **[Clause 8 Presidential Oath of Office](https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-2/section-1/clause-8/#:~:text=Before%20he%20enter%20on%20the,Constitution%20of%20the%20United%20States.)** Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:– 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. ---

His surrogates keep leaning on that great line from “The Green Mile:” > He’s a bad man, Boss Which – as always – tells me just how obtuse his base is. The whole point of Due Process is for us NOT to start accepting the government’s word for such things. [Particularly _this_ bunch] Which reminds me: Has anybody seen these two Trump operatives at the same place at the same time?
