The public profile of Donald Trump has always been a mash-up of preposterously fabricated personal characteristics that never match-up with reality. Beginning, of course, with his efforts to portray himself as a successful businessman and deal maker. Which was a stretch for someone with numerous bankruptcies whose book on deal making was written by someone else.<\/p>\n

Trump has also tried to pass himself off as brave military advocate (who dodged the draft five times and called those who didn’t “suckers”<\/em> and “losers.”<\/em> And he fancies himself a peace proponent (who invades foreign countries and even American cities). And he regards his mental capacity as surpassing that of other mere mortals (because he “passed”<\/em> simple cognitive tests meant to detect early onset Alzheimer’s). For these, and many other self-serving reasons, Trump insists that he deserves everyone’s gratitude.<\/p>\n

And speaking of gratitude, we must not forget that Trump also considers himself to be America’s pastor. Despite rarely attending any church services, and frequently disparaging the faith of others, Trump wants to held in the highest esteem as a religious prophet. Never mind that he is a serial adulterer, patron of prostitutes, pathological liar, pal (at least) of pedophiles, and prolific user of profanities. He remains the messiah of the MAGA cult.<\/p>\n

On Monday morning Trump’s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, was “interviewed”<\/em> by ultra-MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson. Johnson, by the way, is also a known asset of Russian propagandists<\/a><\/strong>. But that surely wouldn’t prevent any Trump cronies from embracing him. It probably helps.<\/p>\n

During their discussion, Johnson and Dhillon talked about a recent incident where some protesters in Minneapolis interrupted the services of a right-wing pastor<\/a><\/strong> who also happened to be agent of the brutally inhumane Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). He was known to use his position in the church to defend the savage and unlawful tactics of ICE. The protest was seen by the Trumpist pair as an intolerable violation of religious liberty. So they took the opportunity to lie about and insult the protesters in a manner wholly inappropriate for any public servant.<\/p>\n

Johnson:<\/strong> It’s not an act of journalism if I kick in the door of a synagogue and go up to the rabbi and start live-streaming that as people scream at the Jewish people trying to pray. Not that’s not an act of journalism. That’s terrorism.
\nDhillon:<\/strong> One of the issues here is the people on the left that we’re talking about, they’re not familiar with what goes on in a house of worship. A lot of them are godless people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
