He ended it with . . . so help me God! Thank you and good night.
Havent most [real] presidents ended Oval Office speeches to the nation with an anodyne, God bless America?
I dont remember whether President Obama ever neglected to use that ending (because its not that important to me). Wouldnt the religious troglodytes have jumped all over President Obama had he failed to end a speech with GbA?
So far, Ive not seen any mention of this in the media; even if Faux Noise blowhards adverted to this, I doubt theyd mention it publicly.
I believe that a narcissist could easily say, . . . so help *me* God, and wouldnt even consider ending with GbA, so this is no surprise to me on this level.
Amazing the thoroughgoing hypocrisy of the Religious Wrong these days! Sigh.
Sanity Claws
(21,854 posts)that he forgot the phrase God Bless America and substituted So help me God, the phrase used in taking an oath.
He has become extremely forgetful, a sure sign of mental deterioration.
At least that is my reading of what happened

Seems to fit right into the situation.

He was engaging in irony by mistake.

(652 posts)And so the base continues in loving its favorite fantasy president. They can't like the real president, so they go into denial by indulging in this fantasy favorite.
"See, TrumpButt, he is not making an ass of us ... he is telling the truth or he wouldn't have said that about God."
Or, "That poor guy, he is for God and God is for him. Too bad Satan is messing things up - the devil always tries to waylay the important people like pastors and God-fearing presidents."

This is a choice between right and wrong, justice and injustice. This is about whether we fulfill our sacred duty to the American citizens we serve. When I took the oath of office, I swore to protect our country and that is what I will always do so help me god.
My opinion. He can really fuck off. He is such a BS artist and he is not fooling anyone except his fucking base.
Such a liar. Is that why is holding young children in cages and letting them perish, and pulling them away from their parents. Asylum is legal.
