A common daydream inside Donald Trump's head
Two men at a restaurant:
1st man: And what will you
have, Trump?
2nd man: Why, I'll have
the Trump.
1st man: Looks good, but
I'll have Trump.
2nd man: Good choice.
(Waiter comes by)
"And what will you two handsome Trumps have to drink?
1st man: I'll try the
Trump for a change
2nd man: I think I'll
stick to my old favorite, Trump.
Waiter: VERY GOOD, sirs!!
D(onald) Day!
Today, Tuesday June 21, could be THE day that Donald Trump gets the imprimatur
of the Christian Right - if he agrees that they an mold him into a God-fearing
anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-Muslim, anti-feminist President, of course.
The anti-Muslim, anti-abortion President is, of course, a moot point. But the
anti-gay may be a bit harder to tackle. He'll have to turn to a plethora of
contradictions. On the other hand, that makes no difference to the people who
want to believe in him no matter the unreasonableness of his rhetoric.
"We will defend Christian Americans," Trump said, before repeating
himself for emphasis. "Christian Americans." But how is he going to
do that while defending gays whom many Evangelicals say are a threat to their
religious liberty? Hmmm... True bombastic Trump style will certainly be put to
the test.
"We Will Mold Him"
The man who said he would become Presidential when the time called for it has now told everyone "I won't change". He will be resistant to the Christian Right "molding" him into their image. So, of course, they're now trying desperately to make their mold fit Trump:
Bloomberg News has an article about how Donald Trump is working
to get evangelical Christians to donate $400,000 to his general election
campaign and some Christians think he's been sending them secret Christian hand signals to show them that he submits
himself to God.
At one recent meeting with Trump, evangelical leaders noted how he often
flashes a signature hand gesture, with a thumb out and a finger point to the
sky, as he enters and exits rallies.
"You see athletes
do it all the time and it's their chance to point to the sky, to thank God for
their success," said Pastor Mark Burns, CEO of a Christian television network
based in South Carolina. "Trump does this all of the time, too. He's giving
reverence to the man upstairs."
Jay Bookman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution put it best:
