Donald Trump, Religious Icon

Trump: If it doesn't pass, your taxes will go up 68%. This is a religious ceremony to me, but that's part of the religion. If your taxes go up 68%, you might give up your religion pic.twitter.com/LIh3cu76N7

All 193, plus: Narnia; Gondor; Mordor; Rohan; Moria , and Uqbar, among others.

Trump: They say separation between church and state, they told me. I said all right, let's forget about that for one time. Separation, I don't know. Is that a good or bad thing? I’m not sure. Whether there is separation or not, you are in the white house pic.twitter.com/Auelrx9xxR

I know I’m supposed to be outraged by this but, honestly, it doesn’t make any fucking sense.

Trump: You have 250 years in this term. You have the olympics in this term. And, we have the world cup. I was very instrumental in all three of them. pic.twitter.com/3yVxihkfom

Without him the sun wouldn’t rise. Without him the tides wouldn’t ebb and flow.  (That one isn’t any more coherent.)

Trump: Tariffs.. They are beautiful for us if you can use them, get away with using them. It will make us very rich. We will be paying off debt, lowering your taxes substantially, because so much money will be taken in… pic.twitter.com/a6cKjyFB4m

From countries not trading with the U.S. because Americans don’t want to pay the tariffs? 

A trifecta of “What the fuck?!”  

(George Clooney is busy on Broadway and could not be reached for comment.)

"2 Corinthians”? So Trump only plays an ignorant, irreligious, amoral boob on television?

I don’t believe I. I saw him in “Home Alone II.” He’s not that good an actor.

Patrick: There is a saying that no one should get between the doctor and the patient. I think we would say that no one should get between god and a believer pic.twitter.com/AFD9uNeKtG

The moment I’d really like God to say “Fuck it, “ and throw a lighting bolt. OTOH, it’s Dan Patrick. Like Trump, really no one to blame but the voters. (Patrick wouldn’t know God or a believer if either walked up and shook his hand.)

Trump: I take people into the oval office. The biggest people, foreign leaders, princes, kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers. A couple of dictators, I guess. They don't say that. They say "I'm a prime minister or president," and I say "No, you're a dictator. But that’s ok” pic.twitter.com/Iv0wWTrNrY

It’s all about Trump. That’s what makes him such a man of deep faith and conviction.

Trump: You know they say, the lions and the tigers aren't nearly as vicious as the human. They only kill for food. They kill for food. The human being… they try and destroy people.. we have some bad ones in this government pic.twitter.com/NT8kAIWhNz

Every accusation is a confession. If Trump was a man of deep faith and deep conviction, he’d understand that. (Acyn published that one, then removed it. No idea why, but I’m keeping the text.)
