A year into the Obama Administration, I had a conversation with a relative who was outraged at President Obama's "unprecedented golf outings and vacation days". Of course it was bullshit back then (George Bush had taken far more) and it's even more now that we have the laziness that is Trump in the White House.
Anyway, last Sunday was evangelical "Pray for Trump" day. You might think, okay, that sounds like a good thing. Pray for him to grow a brain. Or develop a conscience. Or care about another human being. Or not kill us all. But no, evangelist Franklin Graham, who made the call to pray, stated that the reason to pray for Trump was:
“I don’t believe any president in the history of this nation has been attacked more than Donald Trump.”Oy.
So they had this stupid pity-prayer day across America and during Trump's Sunday golf outing, someone in the Presidential convoy belatedly realized that they should probably attend a church service somewhere. Amazingly, there was a church right on the route back to the White House! Thanks Google Maps!

So Trump stopped in for a whole 15 minutes, catching the pastor off-guard, stood smugly while he was prayed over, said nothing, and then left. How inspiring. Of course, the White House couldn't say that Trump was there to be prayed over, so they floated a bullshit story about how he was there to mourn the Virginia Beach shooting victims. Since no one actually mentioned the victims during the 15 minutes, I'm going to go with "Yeah, no" on believing that one.
Here's how the lazy schmuck appeared, complete with FUCKING GOLF CLEATS and golf cap. Yeah, that's a well-thought out plan, flawlessly executed, and not a quick con to fool the rubes into thinking he's one of them.
Anyway, the whole pathetic story is here, including that the pastor afterwards told the congregation in a letter, “My aim was in no way to endorse the president, his policies, or his party, but to obey God’s command to pray for our president and other leaders." And how did that work out for you?
In short, our "President" is a lying scumbag who openly mocks evangelicals with his morals and the transparency of his pandering, and they support him more than any group in America. Literally.
How principled, smart and moral they are.
Since you deserve it, here's how a real President shows dignity, class and empathy at a memorial service.
