Pious Wind

Controversy has erupted in the Christian state of Alabama, where the Trumpster and his hydrophobic head-tribble have descended to comfort some recent beneficiaries of the Lord's mercy. A storm recently carried off twenty-three souls to their reward, so the Trumpster has been signing Bibles at a Baptist church. Despite the precedent set by a British holy man of almost equal depth and perspicacity, the inevitable few malcontents have given voice to the inevitable criticism. Bizarrely enough, the critics have chosen to attack the Trumpster on the basis of his vicious and inhumane border policy, as though callous exclusionism, arbitrary boorishness and racism were somehow alien to the teachings of Jesus. Nevertheless, those who were present at the ceremony erupted into applause, and at least one perceptive witness compared the Trumpster's whimsical nature with that of the Heavenly Father.
