Share this post from the Catholic Conference. This is as bad as posting a picture of himself as King after Great Britain ‘s Queen Elizabeth passed away. This is completely unacceptable and unhinged.

Why is Donald Trump suuuuuch a fucking asshole?

narcissist with golden lawnmower parents.

everyone in his life always treated him like as a God, plus he's too stupid to realize it.

sorry, typing in the phone is hard

Your were right first time. 'Too' stupid, as in too much or too little. You use 'too' when talking amounts, and 'to' when talking directions.

Because he knows Catholics will still vote for him.

Really? Some Catholics maybe—ones from Florida or Catholics with Hispanic or Cuban backgrounds. Catholics have certain reputations and stereotypes but they aren’t evangelical. Most Catholics aren’t like Alito or Amy Barret either.

Catholics historically were a blue voting bloc. All the Irish and Roman Catholics I know in the North East to New England are staunchly against Trump. They think evangelicals are odd and know Trump isn’t a holy man. Even the Catholics I know who practiced the rhythm method hate Trump’s guts.

Has this changed significantly?

Catholics are, in general, anti abortion. It's the reason the Christian base supports Trump despite Trump being the least Christian president ever.

Trump has inspired large portions of voters that don't agree with his actual values by "flooding the swamp" with "doublespeak". So he "aligns" with whatever your local propagandists convince you he aligns with, despite any true policy he may or may not have (as it appears he takes the approach of supporting "whatever works" towards his desired authoritarian regime). Catholics are not immune to this strategy, and it has historically paid off very well for him.

Oh that’s really scary—thanks for sharing that information. That’s what I was looking for and you’ve been helpful. I wouldn’t be surprised if that shift was also encouraged by the Greatest Generation and the Guilded Generation finally truly dying off — they were more the staunch blue Catholics of stereotype.

But more importantly, bullshit like this is a quick and easy way to ensure that he dominates news cycles.

It took him moments (or some kid who works for him more likely) to cook this up and post it. It will not harm his ability to be a twat in any way, nothing will happen because of this. Well, except that he keeps everyone talking about him which is all he wants. Keep CNN breathless pretending this is news.

How about all the news networks learn to ignore his bullshit for a minute? Oh wait, then nobody will hate watch and soak in the advertising.

I truly dislike what has become of us.

You know that kid in 1st grade who always magically created imaginary armor that protects against your imaginary weapons so they don't admit they lost?

Yeah, that guy never grew up and is currently president.

I'm actually all for it, then he will bankrupt the Catholic Church too.
