Natural disasters are not on the despot's agenda. Neither do human rights, compassion, empathy, and honoring his oath.

He never put his hand on the bible. This was with intent.

IMHO, it is the verbalization of the oath that matters. He said the words. Therefore, he made the oath. There is no magic about using a Bible. When military members are sworn in, they don't use a Bible. I do agree that it was intentional but stupid because he actually spoke the oath.

I agree, but somewhere in his psyche he can use this to rationalize, kind of like a child who crosses their fingers behind their backs when they tell a lie.

Definitely! I'm sure that in his broken synapsed brain, he thinks he fooled everyone.
