Yeah, so did take that soldier’s oath but unlike him I remember that the U. S. Constitution includes the concept of equality before the law, the right of citizens to peacefully assemble in protests, and the right of free speech as long as that speech is not an incitement to violence (a line that Trump often approaches).

For a U. S. politician to mention “God” several times is usually a tip-off that he/she means that anyone who disagrees with him/her must be evil. It usually also implies a particular deity not just anyone’s deity.
