In reply to the discussion: Trump Calls On Governors To Reopen Houses Of Worship [View all]forgotmylogin
(7,496 posts)15. Everything is easier when you don't have to leave the house!
Being able to roll out of bed early Sunday and log on in your pajamas is so much easier than getting ready and commuting.
I can't believe someone in this administration doesn't clothesline Trump and tell him, "Hey, yeah, a lot of your base attend these churches, and sure you don't believe COVID is an issue, but do you want to take that even potentially remote chance of wiping out people who will vote for you or at least having them turn on you if they catch it and survive since you're assuring them they'll be safe?"
Churchgoers would *seem* like the people he'd want to protect. But I suppose the megachurch owners like hearing those coins clink in the basket live immediately than doing it through PayPal where there's actual records of it.

I'm sure at some point he complained that he gets treated worse than Jesus Christ.
