New presidential oath for Trump

Article II, Section 1, Clause 8, US Constitution:

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:

"I, (first name, middle name, last name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

That's the one Chief Justice John Roberts couldn't deliever accurately when swearing in Barack Obama, and it's the one that Donald Trump trampled in his first go-around. So we need a new one to fit the circumstances. Maybe something like this:

"I, Dicatator Donald, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute my political enemies under my unlimited powers as President of the MAGA States of America, and will to the best of my ability, dismantle, ignore and suspend the Constitution of the United States."

Just a thought.
