Omarosa's "every critic will bow down to Trump" is straight out of the Bible

This is Philippians 2.9-11:

9. Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11. and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Today's marching order: Donald Trump is trying to ride into the White House on a black horse with a pair of scales in his hand, and he is trying to use the votes of people who only care about a candidate's religion to do it. Many of these people read newspapers, so your task for this week is to write a letter to the editor explaining how un-Christ-like Trump actually is.

This really disturbed me. If I were still religious, I'd probably believe Trump was the Anti-Christ.

She is voting for Trump because of his morality ... I probed gently (this was a discussion with a student, but not in class) to find out what she meant ... And she was saying he is a good Christian.

I might fart in Trump's specific direction but bowing down to the asshole is OUT.

We've got a long list here in America -- some political and some ministerial -- and they always attract a sizable chunk of people.

Who does she think he is, Putin?

These Trump followers are batsh** crazy. I'm afraid of what they
will do when the Orange One loses.
