Trump is a dedicated practitioner of ‘Christian Positive Thinking’ as taught him by [Dr. Norman Vincent Peale](https://www.christopherlane.org/2024/04/02/unholy-influence-the-success-gospel-of-norman-vincent-peale-and-donald-trump/#:~:text=positive%20psychology%2C%20Peale%20warned%20the,%E2%80%9D). Reality can be made to conform to his strongly held beliefs. The world is as he [believes](https://www.politico.eu/article/the-power-of-trumps-positive-thinking/#:~:text=Peale%2C%20then%20nearly%2080%20years,The%20Art%20of%20the%20Deal) it to be. We are in the ‘Golden Age of Trump’. We are the beneficiaries of his omniscience.

"Christian Positive Thinking’ encourages ignorance. One can replace the pesky tedium of scientific investigation with common sense. Trump was lumping, not distinguishing, terms. He does not know, or see any reason to care, about a difference. So, it’s ignorance. However the smallness of his world also makes him malicious.

I am overwhelmed observing our modern technological society, choose as its’ leader, a religiously deranged man with the mental scope of a six year old.
