Multiple video reviews analyzed by MeidasTouch revealed that notably missing from the Constitution in Trump’s Bible are the amendments following the Bill of Rights which make up the Constitution’s first 10 amendments. Trump’s Bible jumps from the original Constitution to the Bill of Rights and then to the Pledge of Allegiance, skipping constitutional amendments 11-27.
Amendments to the constitution are part of the constitution. saying it “includes the constitution” and then omitting it, its fair to say it omits things. Yeah, it’s a bit clickbaity but it’s not wrong.
I’m more curious about what got omitted from the bible, heh.
But saying “the constitution and bill of rights” generally suggests the main text and the first 10 amendments
What do you think the Bill of Rights is, not part of the constitution?
You really read “includes the Constitution and Bill of Rights” and are genuinely puzzled that ammendments 11-27 aren’t part of the Constitution bit? Cmon now
To answer the question, the first 10 amendments.
Did you think that was a gotcha?
No my point is 11-27 are also part of the … you know… constitution.
Some of them are obviously quite important, too.
The understanding us normal folks have of the Constitution is like a living document akin to a technical manual that can be added to or updated- preamble, articles, and 27 (currently) amendments.
I can see (though not agree) with the suggestion that the Constitution they were talking about being the original sealed behind glass in a museum physical one, which just seems silly up til you realize that Trump and co. are definitely cheap/incompetent/potentially malicious enough to try and save a buck by not adding in an extra couple pages for 17 more amendments.
