Sorry - meant to cut off that beginning blurb. It's from the article, not me.

That sounds like a speech from a leader who is at war...

"we will be a country where all citizens can practice their beliefs without fear of hostility or a fear of violence" unless you're Muslim

"Our nation has the most generous immigration system in the world." ERM, WTAF??? America is notoriously strict on the immigration front

Is it me or does the language - in terms of the vocab and grammar - sound like it was written by a 10 year old. I thought he had all the words?!

"Our nation has the most generous immigration system in the world."

Does it fuck, Donald.

As long as we have God, we are never, ever alone. Whether it's the soldier on the night watch, or the single parent on the night shift, God will always give us solace and strength, and comfort. We need to carry on and to keep carrying on

For us here in Washington, we must never, ever stop asking God for the wisdom to serve the public, according to his will. That's why

I worry when leaders do God...

Did you notice all the "very very" .... He has an incredibly limited vocabulary. He should not be writing his own speeches.

How has a man notorious for womanising, who has been divorced twice and married thrice somehow managed to convince large swathes of America that he's an ultra conservative god fearing devout Christian?

I also want to thank my great friends the Roma. Where's Roma, beautiful Roma Downey, the voice of an angel. She's got the voice every time I hear that voice; it's so beautiful. That everything is so beautiful about Roma

Ewwww... sounds like he wanks off to the sound of her voice on an ansaphone

He is not getting great polls. He's at the start of a term he should be polling really high and 48% on the racist Moslem ban, is modest. Bigly modest, one might say.

@tommyxtopher @PressSec Follow-up question: Who was in the Situation Room that night? Bannon, Jared ... Ivanka? Who?

Statistically

A 'sinner come to repentance'. Evangelicals would go for that in a big way.

Do you think he knows who 'the Roma' actually are?

'Roma history' is probably not something he is aware of -

Barron. My money was on Barron 'You like them shoot up games, don't ya son?'. (I still think that he thinks it's not real - like the trueman show).

I don't think he has. My impression is that a lot of the evangelicals back him because they think he will deliver on their agenda (opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, etc) rather than because they think Trump himself is a 'Godly' person.

You can bite the heads of newborns on that Us as long as you appear on TV, tearful and clasping a Bible to your bosem, saying that the devil made you do it.
