Trump takes the Lord’s name in vain attempt to smear Democrats in Sunday tweets
Watching Donald Trump’s behavior over the past three and a half years, one can discern just how sacred Sundays are to him.
It is the day that he almost always spends at least part of the day in communion with that phenomenon that begins with the letters “G” and “o”. That’s right Golf!
So it was a bit surprising on this Sunday when Trump posted two tweets in a row concerning the topic of the other word beginning with a “G” and associated with Sundays (at least in some creeds) — God.
The first was a slight modification of an insidious lie that Trump tried to peddle yesterday only to be rebutted with hard audio and video evidence of the audacious enormity of his obviously false pejorative claims.
Yesterday, Trump tweeted that Democrats had removed the words “under God” from the pledge during the broadcasts of the Democratic National Convention last week — words that were not part of the pledge until 1954 when Congress inserted them into the existing pledge at the urging of President Eisenhower during the height of the Cold War.
After being ridiculed with video clips that show that Democrats did not omit the words when reciting the pledge on each night of the convention, Trump pivoted this morning to a narrower, if slightly less inaccurate, claim that the words were omitted in “Two Democratic Caucus meetings.”
