It has been hard enough for me, as a Reagan scholar, to forebear claims by Trump supporters of alleged commonalities between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Some lost soul, in a fit of madness, composed a list of 15 uncanny “similarities” between the two. The list has gone viral and has been sent to me too many times. I’ve resisted responding to it, and -- pray God -- I will not need to.
But speaking of God, other analogies are being made by Trump supporters that wrench my stomach so hard that I need to vent as a form of therapy.
It started about six weeks ago when a family friend posted something on Facebook. It was an Old Testament verse, a prophetic one, invoked in the name of and alongside a photo of Donald Trump. I initially thought it was a joke. I will not repeat it here. It’s plainly blasphemous.
Then, three weeks ago, another incident during one of my regular appearances on a syndicated Christian talk-show that I do frequently, a wonderful show run by a terrific group of people. I will leave it nameless to spare embarrassment, especially given that they were surely as stupefied as I was. A woman called in with a list of “seven parallels I have discovered in the lives of Jesus and Donald Trump.” She informed the stunned host that these were based on her own “research.” Here are some of her comparisons:

Quick! To the Safe Space! Gee these snowflakes are un American.
So you’re talking about a program, which you won’t name, in which a woman said things you object to?
And this is related to Trump how?
Oh stop, this is Cruz stuff to stop the “Cruz Messiah” stuff
sorry, your guy ran on Cruz Messiah all through Iowa through Utah, now you want to change direction
Cruz is the one with the candles out with his picture on them, don’t divert
That, my Hades bound friend, is blasphemy— Not for Donald John Trump but for your sorry soul.
and by the way, NO ONE will ever vote for Cruz unless this is their identifier:
-—and — pray God — I will not need to.

.. Rabbits are territorial, and divide the world into personal places only for them and their closest associates, public places, and places owned by others .. rabbits have scent glands under their chins that they use to mark their territory and objects they own ..

Trump ain’t Reagan-—not even close. But its ok-—there”s enough substance in a flawed Trump to work with. Better than any leftist the DemRats throw up whether its Hellary or some other Dem hack.
Good God please... send me a link, I was out in the yard for 15 hours
How bad can it be? I don’t get TV up here, because I won’t buy the satellite disk.
Good article.
Thanks.
What a shame. I used to enjoy his writing.

Cruzlim horsepuckey. Trump supporters aren’t claiming to see the face of God in Trump, or that he is ‘anointed for this time’, or the fulfillment of Mormon prophecy, or the ‘king class’ of some Dominionist heresy.
Some of you people aren’t just backing a loser, you are drifting towards hell.
Maybe stop posting while drunk.
