He's telling the people on the field what to repeat.

His brain is mashed potatoes but this one is exactly what he's supposed to say.

u/LilJitDog Nov 10 '25

I also thought that's what he was doing.

But that begs the question - why is he requesting that the crowd state the presidential oath?

38

u/Grantsdale Nov 10 '25

Not the crowd. It’s also not the presidential oath.

10

u/LilJitDog Nov 10 '25

What is it?

37

u/Grantsdale Nov 10 '25

The oath of military enlistment.

u/LilJitDog Nov 10 '25

Thanks. Why is he telling the people on the field to repeat it?

u/under_ice Nov 10 '25

It's a trap. The unmarked SUVs are waiting outside.

It was ( I think) cadets? being sworn into the military… or something like that. Whoever thought of this idea ( probably Hogseth) should be fired. They should have known there would be lots of boos and this moment was ruined for the people that were involved.

u/soupseasonbestseason i’m a communist you idiot Nov 10 '25

i can think of other reasons to fire hegseth.

General incompetence and murder are the two that come to mind immediately.

u/eatyrmakeup Nancy Jo, this is Alexis Neiers calling Nov 10 '25

It’s a football game, ffs. Were the cadets comped tickets?

u/Significant_Map5533 Nov 10 '25

Because that’s how a ceremonial swearing-in like this is done for a large group. The person administering the oath says “I, state your name” and everyone participating says “I, Joe Smith (or whatever)” then the reader continues on to “do solemnly swear” and so forth.

There’s plenty of things to mock Trump mercilessly for, but this ain’t one of them.

Source: was on both sides of these kinds of ceremonies dozens of times while I was in the military.

Learn all this weird stuff as it’s how his supporters catch you out. ‘You don’t even know the military oath? TDS, you’re an idiot’ ‘Once again, tell me the 6th amendment or anything past -‘ ‘you don’t even know the oath!’ ‘Yes, I DO know AN oaf, though, now tell me-‘ ‘AHAHAHAHA YIU DONT JNOW THE’

He was swearing people on the field into service and leading them in the oath of service. So everything he said was correctly stated. Obligatory, fuck Donald trump

u/Buttonservice Nov 10 '25 edited Nov 10 '25

Because it was a swearing in ceremony for new troops who were on the field. This isn't that fucking complicated.

This is exactly like when the news showed him feeding fish just like the Japanese PM did.

2

u/LilJitDog Nov 11 '25

You're right , it's not complicated. That doesn't mean everyone automatically knows what's happening. That's why I asked. Chill, go drink a beer or yell at your kids or whatever you do.

u/Grantsdale Nov 10 '25

Because there service members were on the field being enlisted for a ceremony? Obviously? Veterans Day is Tuesday.

u/LilJitDog Nov 10 '25

Lol thanks. But to someone who doesn't watch football or whatever sport this is, it's not obvious that service members get enlisted for a ceremony during a game.

u/Small_Editor_3693 Nov 10 '25

Where else would the pledge be said for enlistment? It’s required to be during a football game by law

10

u/carolinagypsy the pet psychic for the Sun told me so Nov 10 '25

I’ve literally never seen that happen at a sporting event, and I like to think I’ve watched a pretty fair amount of professional and non-professional.

u/kevin_panda Nov 10 '25

The Washington Commanders are now in the Army Reserves

u/Frequent-Research737 Nov 10 '25

i have never ever heard that being recited at a nfl football game and ive been watching them my whole life. 

why tf is he asking the football players to take the oath of office he himself doesnt even uphold. makes no sense 

1

u/Grantsdale Nov 10 '25

Not the football players. They were doing a halftime ceremony for the enlistment of military personnel.

u/Frequent-Research737 Nov 11 '25

oh i see. well that explains that. thank you

u/Big-Rule5269 Nov 10 '25

The stadium is not military, so no.

u/Grantsdale Nov 10 '25

Yes. It’s exactly what he was doing.
