A message to Candy, et al., from Cal

Welcome to the United States of Trump

Cal Thomas

If Ronald Reagan was the "Teflon president," Donald Trumpery is the man of steel. Is there a substance equal to kryptonite that could bring Trumpery down? If there is, it has yet to be found. Trumpery's language, lifestyle, morals, religious vacuum and viciousness against people he doesn't like — along with numerous other character flaws — might very well lead to an expansion of the Seven Deadly Sins.

That his rabid followers (Candice Casey, et al.) — especially and curiously evangelical Christians — continue to kiss his feet says more about them than about him.

Electing a celebrity/businessman president would be the final verdict on what the scripture Trumpery claims to love, but apparently doesn't read, calls a "wicked and adulterous generation."

If, as the cliche says, we get the leadership we deserve, the fault lies within us, not him.
