Praise be to Jesus!! Sing His name!!! Because our Lord saved Donald Trump. From sure death. The hand of Jesus turned the ex-President’s head to the side and is the salvation of the entire world!!!

Donald Trump has always paid lip service to God. He’s a Christian (capital ‘c’) because his support base is the Bible Belt. How they reconcile his ‘belief’ and ‘God-fearin’-ness’ with grabbing women ‘by the pussy’ and committing fraud, inciting riot and generally showing the sort of morality and indeed Christianity of a crack-addicted jihadi coyote I don’t know. But Americans are strange people and they WANT to believe that a fat abusive con-man is their true representative. ‘Let he who hath not sinned cast the first stone’. Well Trump ain’t throwing no stones any time soon.

So our Don, ever the opportunist, finds himself first of all in the role of hero. Survivor. Others might see him as more a victim of his own stupid refusal to address ‘the gun issue’, or even accept that it is a problem. But then, secondly, he sees another opportunity, that his ‘near death’ ear-lobe experience has brought Jesus (himself!) back into his life. ‘Saved by the hand of God’, is how Don sees it. Or how he promotes it. And being generally such a vile and obnoxious creature (Don, not God) reaffirming his ‘deeply held’ Christianity is a massive ‘re-set’ for him in the eyes of most of his ardent followers.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Christians, particularly in America, because they love Israel, they love Jews and they are a big part of the American support for the Jewish State. I’ve spoken to Mormons at Lake Tiberius, Texan Christians in Jerusalem and they’re almost like normal people. But more Christian. And they wear lanyards so they don’t lose each other. In the wilderness.

But Trump ain’t like them. They’re genuine. He’s a chancer who’s found yet another way to turn adversity into polling numbers. Hero and saint with just one nick of his ear. And the rednecks just lap it all up. Bless ‘em.

Fortunately, there’s serious opposition from the Democrats in the form of… oh, hmmm… ok, looks like Trump will win then.

God bless America. And God help America.

Happy Tuesday
