It's all about the dineros. The oligarchs are raking it in. Rich get richer the middle class gets screwed. 
 

And all those good Christians keep forgetting the parable of the camel. 

I just started reading a book that reminds me that the church of the 'prosperity gospel' and its belief of output being a sign of approval from G-d are both strong in this country. There's a feeling, whether on the surface or somewhere close to it, that CEOs are deities, and that financial success is automatically deserved by a chosen few.

The church Trump reported attended while growing up was pastored by Rev Norman Vincent Peale. Peale made a ton of money with his book The Power of Positive Thinking. Peale was also one of the earlier proponents of the Prosperity Gospel. Which IMO clashes with everything I was taught in Sunday School. It's focused too much on Self, Success and Psychology rather than teaching grace, humility, suffering  and the effects of too much wealth.

I was taught that grace without works is dead.

He's really losing it.

The clock is ticking on Trump's ability to hide this in his crazy behavior.

As somebody with a parent in the throes of dementia, I caution against flippantly using the d word to describe any either of our last two presidents have had.

My MIL had a stroke and had definite memory issues.  We took care of her for several years.  Apparently no dementia per the medicos.   

I never said what I was diagnosing Trump with, but the leader of the free world is suffering definitively from a decomposition of his mental faculties combined with a power trip and his innate narcissism and sociopathy.   

Also to paraphrase his first Sec State Rex Tillerson, Trump lacks intellectual curiosity beyond that of a boy playing with matches.

It's a recipe to end, or at least severely debilitate, civilization entirely, so he has that power. I have an honest concern as to what he might do once he realizes he's not long for this world.
