The way, the Trump and the lies: prayer breakfast displays US right's devil's pact
Trump might not embody Christian values yet is the religious rights chosen instrument to turn the tide against liberal, godless AmericaThey had come to say a prayer for the father, the son and the holy ghost.
The father was Donald Trump, who, despite sending federal militias to roam Minneapolis, threatening to invade Greenland and telling lies by the dozen, remains the lord and saviour of the religious right.
The son was his protege, Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who, despite documented human rights violations and mass detentions that swept up 3,000 children, was praised by a congressman for leadership that displays character and conscience.
And the holy ghost was the Republican partys moral spine, now reduced to a phantom thread. The power of Trump compels you! as The Exorcist nearly said.

...at the Prayer Breakfast. Haven't seen any other confirmation of it, but it would not surprise me (nothing really surprises me anymore), but I would expect a grumble or two from MAGA or the charlatan religious barnacles that have attached themselves to the Orange Piggy. Didn't Trump say once that the Bible was his "favorite book" after the Art of the Deal? Or before it. Does it matter? He fucking lies and the GOP don't care.
