BREAKING: “I’M ON A MISSION FROM GOD”: Trump sent a fundraiser on Easter saying God saved him from assassination so he could save America – and please give generously!
Easter weekend, the holiest time in the Christian calendar, found Donald Trump sending supporters a fundraising email invoking Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross before pivoting to the dubious assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., claiming “God spared my life for a reason” and that he was given a divine mission to “Save America.”
The email wrapped up by asking recipients to confirm their address for a “special Easter surprise gift” and then hit them with the predictable donation request: “a contribution of any amount – SMALL or very GENEROUS” to help hold the “MAGA majority this November.”
Only Trump would have the team to use the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as a warm-up act for his personal mythology and a fundraising pitch. Attempt to grift Christians on the holiest day of the year.
While millions of Christians were reflecting on faith, sacrifice, and redemption, Trump took a spin around the city to fantasize about his triumphal arch, stop by his golf course for some love from the fawning faithful, then think about shaking down his supporters.
This is not the way a president ever has behaved before or ever should, and pretending to be a Christian for a day on Easter just to grift is beyond uncouth.- Occupy Democrats
