    Trump loses it:

    He's insane.

    It's actually a fair point and I'm Catholic.


    "they were arresting priests, ministers,
    and everybody else, for holding Church
    Services"

    Huh?

    I know you believe it because Trump
    said it but who is "they"?

    Yet another dumb question that you should have known the answer to
    answered for you.


    What did the Catholic Church
    have to with any of those?

    | But forget all that. Nothing matters if Trump feels slighted.
    | And right now, he is acting like a toddler in timeout.

    He worships Mammon. What do you expect?

    Did you misspell "mammaries"?
