President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

I applaud you for actually trying to back up your asinine statement, but this article does not help your cause.

I will make it easy for you. What is the definition of provide? What is the definition of promote? Please give an example of each and how they supposedly mean the same thing.
Not definitions but examples:
The US government provides for the common defense by directly maintaining a military.
The US government promotes the general welfare by sending money to states to distribute for school lunches, special education, etc.
The preamble not mentioning taking from the rich to give to the poor is immaterial. That comes from our tax structure, which is constitutional.

I had a post with some legitimate debate potential right above the joke which elicited a response from you.
So there you go.

That wasn't a consideration when the document was written.
 
Lol

I don’t recall Obama ever being called Hitler. And if he was, you’re missing the dichotomy of a dictator ceding power to another like Trump ——-> Musk. Your Obama analogy doesn’t fit
 
Since you refuse to answer the question, I will treat you like my 14-year-old students when I teach them the Constitution so maybe you can understand it.

Provide means to give. This one is simple. If I provide lunch for you, that means I give you lunch. In context of the Constitution, it is the federal governments job to provide or give us our defense.

Promote is not as straightforward as provide. If you ask me to promote your rap concert, does that mean I give you a free place to put it on at and buy all the tickets for the concert? Of course not. Promote means I tell or show people why your concert is a good idea, I tell them it would be fun, it would be good for them to support someone local, they will get to hang out with their friends, etc. So, promote means that I think something is a good idea and it will help you in one way or another, so I want you and others to know about it. In context of the Constitution, promote means things the government thinks will be good for its citizens such as education, safety, proper nutrition, daily exercise, etc. It does not mean the government is to provide these things.

As far as your "scholars" comment, scholars used to think the moon was made of cheese, the Earth was flat and many other idiotic things, that didn't make them correct any more than it makes you correct.
Was Copernicus a Goudanik or a Stiltonite? Which scholars thought the moon was made of cheese?
Scholars have known since ancient times that Earth is round.

What does being called Hitler or not have to do with Republicans criticizing Obama's use of executive orders, while whistling through the graveyard as Trump goes far beyond any other president with executive orders?

Does being called Hitler by someone, make them suddenly immune to all criticism?
