That Old Time Religion

Admittedly, I’d been stumped as to why people would flock to an event where Donald Trump was giving a speech. To me, it seemed nonsensical. Everyone knows he exaggerates and lies, and yet they lap it up.

I should have known better: I, too, as a youngster, got caught up in the fervour of Baptist Tent Revivals. I even saw Billy Graham in person a couple of times. If I hadn’t already been a Born-Again Christian, I would have gone down to the front of the stage along with the others when he called for them to be saved.

So, if you are a person who wants to believe in something or someone beyond yourself, Trump’s your man. He’s the new preacher on the street corner. He’s even held a copy of the Bible in his hand, on one occasion.
