These words of columnist Cal Thomas cover a multitude of what I consider his misjudgments: “… it is Trump’s bad character, displayed in many ways and over many years, that has brought him to this breaking point,” i.e., his recent indictment (“Wisdom for Trump: Character matters,” April 6).
Kudos to Thomas for speaking truth to vacuous self-entitlement.
My knowledge of history is hardly deep, but I’ll hazard this opinion regardless: Trump has to be one of the most repugnant, most despicable leaders to occupy the world stage, ever (apart from genocidal nutters like Hitler, Stalin, etc., I mean).
What does he fancy all his boundless self-promotion will earn him in the end? Pride of place on Mount Rushmore? The awesomest monument in Washington? How about preeminence among Bible-lovers?
Which reminds me: A few days ago, Trump held a post-arraignment “emergency prayer call” to advance “supernatural wisdom” (ahem). This is what he had the face to pronounce in that regard:
“… One thing that I’ve always remained solid on, that is our faith, our religion, our Christianity, our beautiful Christianity. And one of the things I think, and I really believe this, and perhaps the main thing that our country needs again is religion. We have to have religion. We’re losing our religion in our country.”
“Our beautiful Christianity.” He really believes in it.
Uh-huh. Said the peerless pusher of literally tens of thousands of lies.
