Serious question. Who was running the country when Trump was literally spending one quarter of his time playing golf and at least half his time eating cheeseburgers, watching Fox News, and rage tweeting? While his incompetent WH staff was getting stoned to their gills?

It also speaks to what I've long held: these are tribal Christians (identity markers) who haven't ever actually read the Bible, especially the New Testament.
