“We have found our dream president.”
— Jerry Falwell Jr. speaking about President Donald J. Trump, the only man ever to appear on the cover of Playboy magazine

America’s “dream president” spoke about the power of prayer this morning at the National Day of Prayer event outside the White House.
With his hair shining like a golden halo, he spoke about the great Christian leaders the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize) and the Rev. Billy Graham, quoting those to Christian giants on prayer.
“Great great people,” he said.
That sonic-like boom you heard this morning was the sound of Martin Luther King and Billy Graham rolling over in their graves.
Sadly, the daffiness of Rev. Falwell’s hypocrisy seems lost on so many…and meanwhile, the Republic swelters under the shame and opprobrium of this odious chief executive.
Still, if Falwell thinks Trump is our “perfect president,” he must have an abysmal consideration of our democratic republic.
Does ANYBODY read the founding documents of our nation, anymore?
It’s a nightmare from which I cannot awake. The cry, How long, O Lord, has never been so real to me.
