When Donald Trump offered a return to “basic common sense” on the campaign trail this cycle, he was yet again hearkening to this great American tradition of constitutional governance.
It is fitting to have him has a Moses figure, but maybe a Jesus-like figure would be even more appropriate. He is the Messiah of MAGA. He came to be a savior of our earthly kingdom, offering himself as a lord over us, if we only give our loyalty to him. He promised to provided for us, and protect us from our enemies, even taking vengeance on the many enemies of MAGA. Sure, his values conflict with the teachings of Jesus, especially in regards to the poor, the foreigner and loving our enemies, but for those who are in the MAGA religion, he is the perfect savior. That’s where their hearts are, they have chosen their master in the lord and savior Donald J Trump. Christianity to them was only ever a piece of flare among many.

Great essay, thank you, sir!
Great picture, Paul, but I would suggest Madison or Hamiliton as opposed to Trump as a Moses-like lawgiver.
