I run in evangelical-adjacent circles. The prevailing thought was, although they didn’t think he was a good man, they hoped God would use him as he used the very flawed and sinful King David.
It seems like Trump had his Crazy Evangelical Day today.
That’s why they back him. They don’t need a true convert, they just need someone who will do what they want, which he at least occasionally will. Or, as I overheard a Christian say, Jeebus is “using the President to do His will, even though his heart may not be pure”.
Evangelicals back Trump because they love what he says, while largely ignoring what he does. That’s exactly how they live their religion - they’re often nasty, mean-spirited people who love to talk about how “Jesus is their savior” and how they have a “personal relationship with Jesus”. It’s those easy words that…
I can’t take it as a significant insult, if only because I’m sure he had no clue about the significance of the date, the definition of the word “desegregate”, or who tf Truman was.

In an interview on the local news, a trans Navy veteran said, “We’re getting this from someone who claimed bone spurs to avoid the Vietnam war, then got miraculously cured when he saw a golf course.” Pretty good.
I’ll never understand how any woman or minority would choose to be a republican. The republicans hate women and minorities.
How about someone punch him in the dick?
That’s what happens to a Republican and a woman who happens to be coherent and trying to do her job to the best of her ability: singling out and attempts to publicly shame her and humiliate her.
Wow. Remember when Senator Warren was censured for having the temerity to read a letter from Coretta Scott King on the floor of the Senate, because she’d insulted Sessions by doing so? They could not abide that breach in decorum due to a senator.
