Trump on brand - refuses to sign voluntarily oath to not overthrow the gov't

[laughing dog]

The state of Illinois asks candidate to voluntarily sign a pledge against advocating overthrowing the government. In the previous two POTUS elections, Donald Trump signed the pledge. Not this time - he refused. (Trump shows his true colors again).

Well duh.
Not like he really minds going back on his lying words, but no point in setting up a situation where he has to do it.
The little spoiled brat will NEVER admit that he lost ANYTHING, regardless of the fact that he’s the biggest loser that has ever saddled up the GOP. When he loses in November he’ll be playing back the fraud mantra, loud as ever, and will try again to get his idiot trumpsuckers to prevent the inauguration of the winner.

Does it matter, considering that he signed it before?

Does it matter, considering that he signed it before?

Maybe what he signed says, “I won’t do that… this year.”

It feels like this is something that should strip a citizen of citizenship--unfortunately, not possible in this case because the US is signatory to conventions against statelessness. One of the rules is that you can't remove citizenship from someone who has no other citizenship. (Yes, even if it's voluntary. You want to renounce US citizenship, you have to go to an embassy and show that you are a citizen of some other country before they will recognize it.)

Well then all he has to do is wait until after New Years Day to do it.

Maybe give it six days and then it's Game On.

That's OK; There's plenty of places you can become a citizen for a cash payment.

We just need to pass the hat around and buy him a Dominican citizenship.

Would they agree, though?
