@atrupar - The "respected" evangelical leaders who flatter Trump are led by the charlatan Paula White-Cain.
- 29% of evangelicals think he should be impeached and removed. - The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, the most important evangelical magazine, called for his removal.

@atrupar Trump again on January 9th in Toledo told a similar story to the ones he told October 4th and 12th ⁠— adding details that "five" "respected" evangelical pastors called him *today* to tell him they have never seen such support for a president.

1/ There should be a more nuanced discussion about abortion. (a) Late-term abortion is morally wrong. (b) Republican pro-life efforts do not reduce the number of abortions but increase them(!) because they do not encourage access to contraceptives.
2/ Pro-life people say: "I cannot vote for anyone who permits late term abortion. Their moral judgment is deficient because late-term abortion is similar to infanticide."
3/ But, there is a some consensus about late-term abortion. (Third trimester abortion would be: 28-40 weeks). 43 of 50 states ban abortion between 13-25 weeks. Only 1.3% of abortions occur after 21 weeks.

1979: "Jim Bakker feels misunderstood and persecuted by the Christian community at large. Some criticize his down-home unsophistication, some the show’s excessive emphasis on charismatic gifts and healing, and almost everybody criticizes his use of money."
1979: Televangelists "Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts both have yearly revenue that is expected to top $50 million and Bakker's PTL may surpass them."
2020: Falwell Jr. and Bakker promote Trump. Oral Roberts University alum Guillermo Maldonado hosts Evangelicals for Trump rally.
1979: Bakker broadcast "Oral Roberts, Robert Schuller, Jerry Falwell, James Robison."

2020: Trump said he and Paula White should build a Crystal Cathedral like that of Schuller.

On nepotism: Family businesses have been standard practice throughout human history. The family farm or trade was passed down. But if you run a nonprofit or are in government, you have a heightened moral obligation to demonstrate frugal stewardship for the cause over your family.
Evangelicals for Trump: A family business.
"Jerry Falwell Jr. informed several university executives that his son, Trey Falwell, was 'starting a new company to do the management' of properties owned by the school, including the shopping center."
Evangelicals for Trump: A family business.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association now "exists to support and extend the evangelistic calling and ministry of Franklin Graham." Franklin employs all four of his children at BGEA and/or Samaritan's Purse.

“Trump is unapologetic and unabashed in his contempt for American democracy and the rule of law. Many mental health professionals have concluded he is unwell. He lacks impulse control and evidences sociopathic behavior.”
“Trump acts like a self-styled mob boss — a corrupt bully who forces his subordinates to ‘kick up’ to him.

America’s own spies do not trust our unpredictable president to act responsibly with the country’s secrets.”

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn President Trump’s D.C. hotel had so many customers at a networking event for lobbyists last night, that when the hotel's boss went to boast about his “#success” on Twitter, panorama mode was required to show all the patrons.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn Russian-funded RT America personalities celebrated “great things” at the Trump Hotel DC. It’s unclear if they were referring to the ease w/which staffers for foreign gov't-funded media can get cash to the U.S. president or something else.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.
