Is Trump’s oath valid?
8 years ago, Trump swore with the hand on the Bible and the exact same words, so this new oath was not even necessary (at least formally), unless he had changed his mind to defend the Constitution (2017):
8 years later (2025):
Maybe Trump learned this: for some Christians “the BIBLE PROHIBITS swearing by anything, INCLUDING THE BIBLE, simply because it notes of NO EXCEPTIONS to this prohibition. So placing your hand on the Bible, to my mind, is a violation of what the Bible tells us to do.” This is because a strict interpretation of some passages (see section Interview with God).
Under God, the validity of an oath lies in an intentional and truthful verbal commitment, not the external gestures (raising the right hand, placing the left over the Bible).
In the United States, an oath of office is required by the Constitution to all federal officials (federal employees, judges, President, etc.). The Supreme Court has recognized the validity of oaths that do not use the exact language of the constitutional oaths.
It is formally valid if it defends the Constitution and is taken voluntarily (without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion).
Taking a false oath is perjury and is punishable by imprisonment.
In sum, Trump’s oath is valid, even without the formality of the hand on the Bible.
Yet, it might be invalid due to an essential reason.
Trump said that he will not place any barrier to abortion at the Federal level.
There’s a theory that his oath, and those of all predecessors since Roe, are void because they fail to defend the Constitution, by not defending the unborn life against abortion.
Legally, they never assumed and all their acts of government were null. Though elected, they are usurpers. Trump would really assume as lawful President when he makes a valid oath:
The Constitutional framework is made of the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, invoking God, natural law, historical interpretation of the signees of such documents, international treaties, etc.
From the Constitutional framework, it’s clear that supporting abortion means an intention to violate, or at least, not defend the Constitution.
Instead of abortion, think of an analogy. What would happen if there were laws or court rulings allowing any woman to have a right to make someone else murder an already born son?
Or what if the Government would recognize Planned Parenthood’s right to murder 3000 Jews per day? Or whites, or those over 6 feet-tall or any discriminatory human category you could imagine?
Of course, nobody would consider them valid and those enacting them would be impeached and imprisoned. Why is it any different with abortion, the murder of an innocent living human being?
Haven’t we learned anything from the Nuremberg trials or the Declaration of Human Rights?

Interview with God: what do you think of breaking oaths?
Jeremiah 4
1 If you return, Israel—oracle of the LORD—
return to me.
If you put your detestable things out of my sight,
and do not stray,
2 And swear, “As the LORD lives,”*
in truth, in judgment, and in justice,
Then the nations shall bless themselves in him
and in him glory.
Yet, God recommends avoiding oaths, especially:
-
In his name, due to the punishment of breaking the oath
-
In the name of things
-
By not needing to swear because the person is credible by always speaking in truth
James 5:12
Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
Matthew 5 (also in Matthew 23:16)
33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’
34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
2 Corinthians 1:17-20
When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” and also “No, no”? / But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” / For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.” ...
One reason to avoid oaths is that breaking them has severe penalty:
Exodus 20:7
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
Leviticus 19:12
You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
Numbers 30:2
If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.
Deuteronomy 23:21-23
If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. / But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin. / Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
Ecclesiastes 5:4-5
When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, because He takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill your vow. / It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
Ecclesiastes 9
2 Everything is the same for everybody: the same lot for the just and the wicked, for the good, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who offers sacrifice and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who takes an oath, so it is for the one who fears an oath.
3 Among all the things that are done under the sun, this is the worst, that there is one lot for all. Hence the hearts of human beings are filled with evil, and madness is in their hearts during life; and afterward—to the dead!
Zechariah 8:17
do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD.
Hebrews 6:16
Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
1 Timothy 1
8 We know that the law is good, provided that one uses it as law,g
9 with the understanding that law is meant not for a righteous person but for the lawless and unruly, the godless and sinful, the unholy and profane, those who kill their fathers or mothers, murderers,
10the unchaste, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching,
11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
1 Peter 3:10
For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
What could Trump do for the prolife cause?
Trump is so much better than Kamala, yet he needs to seek advise from prolife organizations:
-
The majority of abortions are now done with abortion pills. Trump said he will not stop them. His administration is funneling billions to Planned Parenthood et al.
-
Trump chose to openly promote IVF this term. For every IVF-baby born, 25 are gone! ... through selection, discarding, freezing, selective abortion, miscarriage, etc.
-
All Trump's WarpSpeeded haccines were abortion laced, through cell lines from aborted/birthed and dissected-alive late-term born babies (vivisected).
-
Trump still supports and allows vaxxing pregnant women, resulting in "miscarriage", an intended direct effect by depop globalists, so in fact, a procured abortion, but not by the mother.
-
Trump fully supports all non-barrier contraceptives which are in fact abortifacients, because they all fail to prevent conception and act by preventing implantation (abortion).
-
As in his first presidency, Trump will keep federal funding of abortion organizations, up to 4-6 billions per year, even for NGOs working abroad. Which could be perceived as funding an act of war in countries where some types of abortions are still illegal.
-
Planned Parenthood keeps selling butchered baby parts.
Probably, Trump might not be fully aware of all that, but vincible ignorance does not relieve of responsibility: he could have asked!
Proverbs 6:16-17 ESV
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Imagine you become President. Do you think it will work to shake responsibility, washing your hands in innocent blood like Pontius Pilate? Even by doing nothing, you become accomplice of the genocide because you had the obligation and power to stop it, but didn't!
There are over 100 possible Executive Orders to stop or hinder abortion:
-
Not spending a taxpaid cent in anything related to killing unborn babies.
-
Prenatal healthcare since conception.
-
Banning abortion pills due to the life-risk to the mothers (Pfizer withdrew from France because of that).
-
Making it easier for class actions against abortion and abortifacients or even the Government itself or Trump leading the class actions (at least for violating informed consent).
-
Compulsory free sonogram during pregnancy where the mother has to hear the baby's beating heart.
-
Compulsory leaflet in pregnancy tests, explaining that there's a new human being and that all the needed help is available through pregnancy centers or a voluntary fund.
-
Compulsory scientific education on prolife issues at school (science backs morality).
-
Prenatal adoption, allowing the adopting parents to help the mother along the pregnancy.
-
Supporting babies and mothers the first 1000 days since conception.
-
Banning IVF.
-
Informed and neccessary consent of parents and grand-parents.
We have a list of over 100 ideas!
Even if Congress doesn't back the Executive Orders with laws or even if the Supreme Court blocks parts or all of them, at least you did your job defending your unborn citizens.
Pro-lifers need to pray and do a lot more than we are doing!
Deuteronomy 30:15-18 ESV
See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 ESV
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, ...
Jeremiah 1:5 ESV
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Psalm 139:13-16 ESV
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Woe to those officers who declare themselves Christian (and even swear by the Bible) and do nothing to protect the life of babies in risk of being aborted. We are commanded to love our neighbor. This includes the unborn citizens!
Let's pray for the conversion of the enemies of life:
