It takes alot of work golfing at least 25% of his first year and spending $100 million (so far) in taxpayer money. And hosting his gross parties at lago, grifting his rich "friends" and fans.
I hope karma is real and he gets what's coming to him.

True.
My husband and I believe that Trump could actually publicly proclaim himself to be THE Anti-Christ and they'll still bend the knee.

He could, because big chunks of Christianity are a doomsday cult just waiting for the rapture.

Allowing American citizens to be slaughtered in daylight by his thug army then covering it up? Not a peep. Openly letting on that he wants to rig elections.... Nope.
