[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are Trump’s closing words at the National Prayer Breakfast Today:

“And God bless everybody.  We want to come together.  And the happiest — the person, the element, the everything that’s going to be happy.  People of religion are going to be happy again.

And I really believe you can’t be happy without religion, without that belief.  I really believe it.  I just don’t see how you can be.  (Applause.)

So, let’s bring religion back.  Let’s bring God back into our lives.

Thank you all very much.  Thank you very much.  Great honor.  Thank you.  (Applause.)”

This is all so appalling - can’t understand why anyone thinks he represents religion in positive and authentic way.

The cynical exploitation of culture war wedge issues to give a thin patina of moral credibility is so obvious.

He is not bringing religion back but degrading it. But that is for God to judge not me - but people of faith should be aware is not on the side of angels.

Trump and Musk’s relentless cruelty and chaos as he treats innocents as expendable stage props in his many dumb and illegal grandstanding actions is beyond belief.

US enemies (Russia and Iran) are gloating over their dismantling of USAID as they know it will severely diminish US influence through soft diplomacy.

Major Trade partners (China, Canada and likely EU) have announced many retaliatory measures for the trade tarrifs that will not just affect China steel but many sectors. The US farming export sector is likely to be particularly hard hit, in addition to general consumers as the cost of living will sky rocket.

Federal agencies that needed fat trimming have been met with ill thought out demolition derbies being carried out by tech bros with no authorization or government experience.

The fed hit list for anyone that Trump perceived as an enemy is obviously not Christian behavior. Treating non criminal immigrants as animals and raiding churches and schools for mass deportations is the opposite of teachings to treat foreigners either compassion in both Old and New Testaments. Also he blocked the most comprehensive bi partisan legislation to counter illegal immigration back in 2023 so that he could pretend to be the anti immigration messiah.

I hope that the US can survive the hijacking of the federal government and degradation of constitutional safeguards guards. We need separation of church and state to protect the integrity of both.

May God have mercy on us all. [/quote]
