Letter to the editor: Presidency may be Trump's downfall

Who does Donald Trump owe $421 million to? Vlad? Probably some to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Is that why he kept his mouth shut even after reports that Vlad paid bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan and also why he kept his mouth shut when the Saudis assassinated Jamal Khashoggi? He also did nothing when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan decimated the Kurds, our only true Muslim ally in the Middle East — because he has real estate investments in Turkey?

Actually, running for president may turn out to be the worst decision Trump will have made in his life because it now puts him under the investigators’ microscope, which may not have been the case otherwise. For the first time in the 250-year history of the United States, a former president may do prison time. Michael Cohen said Trump running for president was supposed to just be a publicity stunt. The advice is, “If you are a billionaire, shut up, keep a low profile and never ever run for any public office.”

I don’t believe Trump is a Christian. I don’t think he prays, goes to church or reads the Bible. The god (small g) he worships is the one he sees in the mirror, and he worships on the altar of money. Promoting the white Christian nationalist agenda for mutual benefit — his political, yours theocratic — does not make him a Christian.

In my opinion, the best definition of Trump is atheist. Didn’t he con you into believing he’s a Christian?
