Trump Calling for Americans to 'Exemplify the Teachings of Christ'

President Donald Trump released a Christmas statement on Wednesday calling for Americans to better “exemplify the teachings of Christ.”
“Together, we must strive to foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect — traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ.”

“We hope your heart is filled with the love and joy of your faith, family, and friends this Christmas,” Trump concluded. “We send our best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.”

Additionally, the president and First Lady Melania Trump shared their own Christmas greetings on social media.

Ummmm, where's Baron?

Tale. "When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the Constitution, we didn't wake up then either," she continues. "They said it would be temporary. Nothing changes instantaneously

I doubt they could pull it off, but I wouldnt put past them to try something similar. As awful as it sounds, I will not be surprised if there isn't at least an assassination(I feel like there a to many S's in that word) attempt on a top Dem.

and we were taught about how Jesus loved all the little children, but I just don't remember the part where he said it was OK to keep any of them in cages.

This leaving out Barron (three years running) is starting to look like "plausible deniability" choice. 'Can't say I blame him. He'll inherit from Melania, after all.

Maybe they figured they had to have at least one kid in the photo, but Fat Nixon didn't want his own kid because Barron is already taller than he is, so they picked one of the grandkids. Probably made the kid do it because the others didn't want to be anywhere near their creepy granddad, who smells like cheap after-shave and meat farts, and scowls at them.

The asshole can't even say which part of the Bible is is favorite, cite any passages he likes, or likely anything Christ is reported to have said to his disciples.

He has no humanity.

you mean like separating immigrant families, caging children, refusing to give them flue shots and hygiene items?
Lying and betraying the American people every fucking day? Destroying and shredding our democracy? You mean those traits?

Recite his favorite verses from the bible he claims he reads. He's using religion for personal political gains , and I don't believe anything this corrupt career criminal claims. His actions show what he really believes, and it nothing christian.
