Trump the Bible Poser

Because this insane, dystopian scene played itself out on Monday, I'm thinking that many of you are well-aware of what happened. And here -- for what it's worth -- is my take on this wretched and disturbing event.

It's clear now that the Divider-in-Chief who occupies our White House thinks he can use faith for his own dark purposes. Just like he uses everything he comes into contact with.

He uses people and things to enhance his ugly image; he uses things and events to sow confusion and deflect blame; he uses people and things -- most vile of all -- to punish and wreck revenge on his political enemies or merely on people he hates.

All of this is sick. Sick and evil. So now we can add Faith to the things this disgusting piece of human garbage has used to further his own evil ends.
