This divorced adulterer who covets other men's wives, constantly bears false witness, steals (elections), kills (fishermen), and plays golf every sabbath has obviously never opened a Bible. But, in fairness, he's never opened any other book either.

Honestly pretty shocking it was just 50% before the pandemic but falling by half in 5 years is horrifying
The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.

Trump has harsher words for the Governor of Colorado than he does Vladimir Putin. That is because Donald and his idiotic family have been owned by the Russian mob for decades and YES they know ALL about his sordid history with Jeffrey Epstein. Stop him in 2026, USA.

Good question.
Does this phone have a Russian and Israel hotline?
This $500 "Trump phone" was a lazy rebrand of a $169 Chinese phone. Since they can't admit tariffs delayed things they're blaming the government shutdown, despite this having nothing to do with government.
They can't even grift competently.
