‘Brought to Jesus’: the evangelical grip on the Trump administration

The influence of evangelical Christianity is likely to become an important question as Trump finds himself dependent on them for political survival

www.theguardian.com

In setting out the Trump administration’s Middle East policy, one of the first things Mike Pompeo made clear to his audience in Cairo is that he had come to the region as “as an evangelical Christian”.


In his speech at the American University in Cairo, Pompeo said that in his state department office: “I keep a Bible open on my desk to remind me of God and his word, and the truth.”


The secretary of state’s primary message in Cairo was that the US was ready once more to embrace conservative Middle Eastern regimes, no matter how repressive, if they made common cause against Iran.


His second message was religious. In his visit to Egypt, he came across as much as a preacher as a diplomat. He talked about “America’s innate goodness” and marveled at a newly built cathedral as “a stunning testament to the Lord’s hand”.

The desire to erase Barack Obama’s legacy, Donald Trump’s instinctive embrace of autocrats, and the private interests of the Trump Organisation have all been analysed as driving forces behind the administration’s foreign policy.


The gravitational pull of white evangelicals has been less visible. But it could have far-reaching policy consequences. Vice President Mike Pence and Pompeo both cite evangelical theology as a powerful motivating force.

I get what most folk will take away from this gif.

Me, well I see Gerald Ford, a Republican, in office in '75; Reagan, a Republican, in '82; H.W , a Republican, in '91; W, a Republican, in '02 and '08; and you-know-who now...

Surgeon general warns this week will be ‘our Pearl Harbor moment’ as coronavirus death toll rises

Surgeon General warns this week will be ‘our Pearl Harbor moment’ as coronavirus death toll rises

No it's not your Pearl Harbour moment.

Conspiracy theories aside, America was taken by surprise at Pearl Harbour.

The Covid-19 pandemic was no surprise - your President himself admitted to knowing what was coming - even before it was declared a pandemic.

Remember that time Obama wore a helmet while biking and it was a bigger ****up than Bush's wars and recession?

Conservatives sure don't

Oh its much worse than that, take a look at all this Obama derangement syndrome.

No worries, Trump is going to get Dr Spaceman to sort it all out.

This seems too bizarre to not be fake news.

There are however a number of sites carrying the story and there is what appears to be a legitimate Go-Fund-Me site.

If confirmed fake it will be removed but if not it should be a warning to others.

Inslee continues criticism of Trump: It’s ‘ludicrous’ we don’t have national effort against coronavirus

Inslee has been calling on Trump to order manufacturers to switch their production to things needed to battle the pandemic, such as masks, face shields, gowns and testing equipment. But Trump has refused.

www.seattletimes.com

“This is ludicrous that we do not have a national effort in this,” Inslee said on Meet The Press. “I mean, the surgeon general alluded to Pearl Harbor. Can you imagine if Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, ‘I’ll be right behind you, Connecticut. Good luck building those battleships.'”

You missed the part where the expert said the administration couldn't do more and how impressed he was?

You mean the guy whose job security is reliant on publicly placating Trump? Is this a serious question? Come on, man.

Do you really think their Cabinet meetings and press conferences start with everyone fellating Trump for any other reason than placating the narcissist and trying to stay on his good side?

Did you read Fauci's interview in Science Mag?

It's incredibly obvious he knows Trump is an ignorant moron, but he's trying to thread the needle to do something constructive about this problem without explicitly saying Trump is a buffoon because he'd get fired.

Yeah no, that's a poor one.

You said listen to the expert.

The expert says why tf are we not under national lockdown.

Read up and you'll see I asked the exact same question.

It's hilarious.

Him: Listen to Fauci!

You: Okay, here's Fauci, disagreeing with Trump

Him: Hurr durr tin foil!

Report: The Trump administration didn’t order ventilators or masks until mid-March

In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has moved from dismissing the threat posed to Americans by the coronavirus to styling himself as a “wartime president.” But until mid-March, new reports reveal, he was planning to send the army into battle with only a fraction of the weapons and armor they’d need.


On Sunday, the Associated Press reported that the government largely failed to place bulk orders of N95 respirator masks, ventilators, and other medical equipment vital to those treating coronavirus patients until mid-March, according to federal purchasing contracts. The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration received its first briefing about the outbreak in China on January 3.

But the bootlickers will complain about the MSM as if they're in charge of safety and security of the people.
