Golf Vs. Church: Trump Chooses Golf
For a second day in a row, on a weekend where the death toll from COVID-10 is nearing 100,000 people (including 36,000 deaths that were preventable), callous sociopath and mentally unstable demagogue Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump golfed at his club in Sterling, VA. It was a day that he had told his cult members to flock back to their churches, in defiance of social distancing health standards, issuing an empty threat to Governors that he would "override" stay at home orders, despite no authority to do so.
If Trump didn't think his religious right followers were pathetic sheep who view him in divine terms, he might have made a cynical trip to church. But his evangelical cultists don't care that he's the model of behavior that is anathema to their supposed beliefs; they even defend it the more it's displayed. That's why he feels free to golf on Sunday, rather than share the viral spread with them.
