And Trump’s, or so he claims, but he is generously willing to sell the word to you if you adore him.

He also said “Make America Pray Again.” I’m not sure how he’s going to make us, but I’ll resist that one.

Actually, on second thought, he may do a lot of praying, for all I know-- the difference being, his prayers I’m sure are only to improve his own personal riches or fame, or to bring misfortune to his enemies.
