Sent by God

Sat., Nov. 30, 2019

Interior Secretary Rick Perry believes God sent us President Trump.

As Secretary Perry doubtless knows, the Old Testament tells us that God often lamented the way humans were managing his world so he scolded us with floods, plagues of locusts and the like to get our attention.

If Donald Trump is the latest divine punishment to be felt on Earth, God must really be ticked off.
