Some context:

Former Trump White House Communications Director Michael Dubke suggested on CNN Tuesday that Trump had mobilized his allies and proxies to the courthouse in an effort to “get around the gag order” imposed on him by Judge Merchan.

Yep. He’s trying to violate the gag order indirectly. Unfortunately for him, the gag order specifically includes attempting to have surrogates violate the order on his behalf.

I suspect there’s another gag order hearing incoming.

      I am totally blanking on what he actually meant there.

      Swear to his…god? Heart? I feel like I’m missing something really stupidly more obvious.

        I have no idea either, and that makes it even better.

        He accidentally hit the suggested word “his” while trying to type the word “what,” would be my guess.

        The sentence should read: …swear to what he saw…

        Honestly having Trump swear on one of his stupid red hats with MAGA would probably be the equivalent to his version of swearing on the Bible. After all, his word is gospel to his mouth breathing cult.
