20. As a believer myself (no one has to believe the same as I do!) - - -

I think you are walking on dangerous turf when you mock God in the way that Trump is doing in this speech. God knows what's in Trump's heart and Trump does not fool God.

Trump may think of himself as being indestructible, but I assure you, he is still just a man.

I realize that many of Trump's followers are the zealous, crazy religious that truly believe he was sent by God. I don't believe that myself, of course, and there are many of us who believe that don't follow the crazy, evangelical path. We believe in compassion, empathy and peace. We are like Joe Biden. We also believe that anyone and everyone is capable of deciding for themselves, and should be free to follow their own path to God or away from God. Their choice.

But in my opinion, Trump would do well for himself if he left God out of his railings!!!
