Before Donald Trump was born, I was attending school taught by nuns and Christian brothers. We were told only God has never sinned. If my educators were living today, they would be amazed that another person by his own words told us he never asked God’s forgiveness, because he never did anything wrong. Married three times. The world’s greatest evangelist, Billy Graham’s son Franklin Graham, left the Republican Party last December, and registered Independent. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Republicans lost the U.S. Senate in November. The party that I once loved is dead. It is now called the Trump Party. It was reported during the Vietnam War that a lot of our military men and women died for our country. At home, Donald Trump’s greatest fear was getting a sexually transmitted infection. Veterans of Foreign Wars love Trump. At their recent convention, they gave him a great round of applause. How shameful. When Mitt Romney was a presidential candidate in 2012, he asked Trump for campaign money. Trump replied, “If I would have wanted, I could have had Mitt on his knees begging for campaign money.” Trump calls women, “fat pigs,” and regardless if there were children present, he used vulgar language. He won’t reveal his tax return because he isn’t worth the money he says his is, or he doesn’t pay taxes, claiming devaluation of his properties. Twenty percent of evangelicals go to church. That means 80 percent support Trump.
