Trump crowd touting God endorsement

Don’t know about you, but I’m coming down with an acute case of Trumpitis.

And this just a few days after he was sworn in … again.

Absorbing the hour-to-hour blanket coverage on cable television is like drinking from a fire hose.

CNN/MSNBC: Trump bad guy.

FOX: Trump good guy.

At noon on Jan. 20 he said he wanted to heal the country’s political wounds. He was going to be the healer-in-chief. Two hours later he called the former president corrupt and suggested he should be put in jail with his family, along with prosecutors and judges.

Bad enough he brags about being the greatest president since A. Lincoln, but the God-fearing Michael Johnson, Speaker of the House, announced that Trump is the greatest president of “our generation.” No way he really believes it.

Some people will do or say anything to get a free Trump bible.

Meanwhile, the record for the shortest presidential endorsement belongs to the national law enforcement brotherhood. It yanked its campaign endorsement the same day Trump freed hundreds of jailed thugs who beat up cops at the Capitol riot. The deaths of five officers were connected to the riot.

But he still has, if you listen to the MAGA crowd, the only endorsement that matters – God’s. Just a thought, but how do they know God backs Trump?

One talking head said it best: the Trump reign is akin to pro rassling. You get 20 minutes of show biz and five minutes of wrestling.

Forget about the Excited States of America, can the world take four years of Trump mania? Can Trump last four years?

God help us. Maybe God will have second thoughts on his endorsement.
