He should do it on national television. Obama was too much of a pussy to even try doing that. I think Trump is braver and tougher than Obama, but I wouldn't know for sure unless he tried it.

Daniel in the lions’ den is one of the best known stories of an “anointed” man being untouchable.

I’d like to show him some lions. We need some. Not hyenas like they are.

victory and how much Putin likes him, so they would eat him.

That said, I'm still willing to give Trump a shot at this challenge.

Pay-per-view on this could balance the deficit.

But he was out less than two years later.

The only holdout was Massachusetts. I once visited the Massachusetts state archives, and saw the original electoral votes cast by the Massachusetts delegation to the electoral college. Later while Watergate was happening, there were a lot of bumper stickers saying "Don't blame me - I'm from Massachusetts"

He would say he did much better than anyone predicted, including his opponents, that the lions were angry Democrats and the whole thing was fake news. The average Republican would believe every word he says, because his ability to speak in their bigoted language means he is the only politician who tells it like it is, and his approval rating would increase.

Daniel is put in den because jealous competitors tell lies about him!!!

Just what his Religious Right supporters think is being done to Trump. In this OT story god protects Daniel from the lions, from the lies.

And as all good Religious Right people believe, god will protect Trump from the lies of those working against god's will as they try to destroy Trump.

since Daniel was innocent. If Trump were to be thrown into a lion's den either the lions would eat him because that's what lions do, or they wouldn't eat him because lions have standards.
