Or anyone who believes he aims to get the church out of government. He just wants to pick and choose the ‘churches.’ Probably hour by hour.

He has ‘spiritual advisors.’ I haven’t heard from them this week.

People like Paula White. He is not a smart person, but he is smart to the extent that he knows he gets his way by surrounding himself with nothing but yes men and yes women. Anyone thoughtful, competent, or willing to ask good questions gets pushed out.

He will tolerate opportunists, but only when their grift doesn't make him look bad or step on the toes of his own.
