Could Trump be trolling his Christian supporters with his golden statues of himself? Showing them to be worshipping the

golden calf from the Book of Exodus? That sort of superiority and contempt would fit a narcissist like Trump perfectly. On the other hand, is he even intelligent enough to figure it out?

I love the poorly educated.

I could murder someone in broad daylight and my supporters would still support me.

And that weirdly cautionary story about the snake? Something along the lines of, "you knew I was a snake when you took me in."

Nothing new.

He’d love it if every church in the land put a golden statue of him up by the altar.

God only likes you if you worship me, too!

Money is their chief gawd.

Then the Felon-Rapist.

They pay no attention whatsoever to Christ's actual teachings.
