Donald Trump #god-complex theweek.com

So that just happened.

Yes, President Trump, when asked about his ongoing trade war with China, deemed himself "the chosen one" when talking with reporters outside the White House on Wednesday. As Trump put it, when it comes to dealing with China's trade practices, "somebody had to do it." He then added "I am the chosen one" as he looked up to the sky.

The odd comment comes just after Trump compared himself to some kind of deity in a Wednesday morning tweet. He seemed to be watching Wayne Allyn Root's show on the conservative network Newsmax, and tweeted a quote from Root saying that "the Jewish people in Israel love [Trump] like he's the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God." And the day before, Trump accused "any Jewish people that votes for a Democrat" of having "either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."

Texas Board of Education #fundie theweek.com

Texas' State Board of Education has approved new history textbooks that say the U.S. Constitution was based on the Bible. A group of university professors complains that the textbooks are filled with "inventions and exaggerations" about Christianity's influence on the Founding Fathers, but board chairwoman Barbara Cargill said students will now learn about the country's "rich religious heritage."

The slide of morality, due to the removal of THE moral law from all public buildings in the US, is the basis for many of the atrosities that are taking place within the country. The public now has its own set of values replacing the proven historical values that had made this country great in the eyes of the World and it's own citizenry. Obama has continued that slide. Now we accept the sleazy as normal and the degradation of our way of life continues unabated. Sarah Palin may present the country with a choice for a return to sanity in 2012
