In Trump world, everything is about the word of God. Right? The evangelicals are enraptured by him. Now I think I know why.

Listening to his lengthy news conference today one can sense the religious elements. He speaks in tongues. He rose from the dead. He hears voices.

It is such a blessing to hear such inspirational lessons. Trump teaches us every day how he alone can fix all our problems. He just doesn’t bother to say how. But that’s the beauty of faith. True believers hear the word and never question. To question is blasphemy.

It makes perfect sense in a way. People see Jesus in a biscuit. So it’s not a stretch to see him in a fat orange blob.

But of course there are descending tiers. Like Dante’s Inferno, and the descending rings into hell. The high class believers never imagine being licked by the flames. They’re above all that. Chosen by birth and Dow Jones. It’s the believers further down already at a disadvantage, but bolstered by their belief, that keeps them waiting for more, their blind devotion bringing them ever closer to disaster.

It’s a horrible feeling to realize you’ve been swindled. It keeps the believers from second guessing the choice to buy it all hook line and sinker.
