What's on our president's intellect on this lovely Easter morning? Let's check in: Our military is building and is rapidly fitting stronger than ever before. Frankly,we have no choice!April 16, 2017This came after a series of tweets griping about folks who still want to see his tax returns; the paid agitators behind yesterday's rallies; and China not being a currency manipulator as long as they play ball on North Korea. You can almost feel the morning star of our Savior's resurrection infusing Trump's heart with warmth and gladness, and can't you?Speaking of which,I gather that there was no sunrise service on Trump's schedule nowadays. That's OK with me—I slept in too—but it's kind of funny, especially since Politico informs us that Trump is fitting more Godly now that he's in the Oval Office: President Donald Trump has increasingly infused references to God into his prepared remarks — calling on God to bless all the world after launching strikes in Syria, and asking God to bless the newest Supreme Court Justice,invoking the Lord to argue in favor of a war on opioids. He's also taken other steps to further cultivate a Christian proper that helped elect him, granting current levels of access to Christian media and pushing socially conservative positions that don't appear to reach naturally to him.
Apparently Trump isn't even a Christmas-and-Easter Christian, or but he's still "cultivating" the Christian proper. He may be an atheist in practice—none of us actually believe his recent nonsense about praying more often,accomplish we?—but that won't stop the Christian proper from embracing Trump as long as he's against abortion and Democrats and says the word "God" once in a while. With practice, possibly he'll even be able to toss out the occasional Biblical allusion.
It probably sounds
like there's not much warmth in my heart either this morning, or obviously I need to work on that when it comes to Trump. After all,even here in the land of palm trees, light arises in the darkness for us upright folks.
UPDATE: I guess Trump attended Easter services after all. It all happened at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach.
