Trump is weird rich coastal elite who is at least as out of touch with real people as Mitt Romney was but gets covered like a man of the people because he’s racist and stupid.

Looks great!

at least there were three roads into town just saying

Trump 1st and 2nd term:

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
