The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And those good Christian MAGAs will bend their beliefs to fit Trump's warped view.

In the back of my mind, a lot of the bigoted garbage that comes out of his mouth, is nothing but cynically pandering to the bigot, goober, base.

That doesn't mean he is above trying to leverage the bigot narratives to suit him:

from the net sifter:

Donald Trump's primary and long-serving religious advisor is the televangelist Pastor
Paula White-Cain. She currently heads the newly established White House Faith Office

She is a pastor, author, and televangelist known for her leadership in the charismatic Christian movement and for preaching a version of the prosperity gospel. She leads Paula White Ministries and is a pastor at StoryLife Church in Florida.


Yes, he pretends to be a "good Christian", but twists the faith to claim that material wealth is proof of being in God's good graces.
