I'm at a different Orbis. Though it is true that @realDonaldTrump also regularly claims that our theological books are fake and overpriced. And I stand by the integrity of #TolstoysTalesofTrump. They are 💯🔥
Asked about the abbot's criticism of his caging children, the master said, "I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say 'I pray for you' when they know that that's not so." #TolstoysTalesofTrump

“I have to disagree with Jesus Christ ” the master said at the prayer breakfast. “A nice man, but frankly, not very tough. And I think it is very wrong when people—who in many cases are very evil and mean—pretend to pray for me while questioning my methods.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The Dershowitz principle will naturally travel down the food chain. As long as you sincerely believe you are acting in the best interests of society in helping Dear Leader, you can’t be accused of a crime.

The master agreed to honor his servants by leading them in a breakfast prayer service. As their porridge grew cold he spoke movingly of his youthful escapades and how he once wrought revenge on an inquisitive constable. “Let those with ears listen. Amen.”

“They no longer need to silence the dissident shouting in the streets; they can use a megaphone to drown him out. Scholars have a name for this: censorship through noise.”

“How sharply our children will be ashamed
taking at last their vengeance for these horrors
remembering how in so strange a time
common integrity could look like courage”— Yevgeny Yevteshenko

As Tolstoy wrote, “God Sees the Truth, But Waits.” I had hoped that today might be the last of his famous Tales of Trump. But fate and the GOP have determined otherwise. This one was number 150. Read them all: #TolstoysTalesofTrump
The master’s long list of enemies began with the childhood governess who had punished him for a minor act of arson. But it included whole categories: short people, sharks, Ukrainians, bears, brown paper packages tied up in string—to name just a few. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The outcome of the master’s trial was never in doubt. For years he had financed legal research establishing the principle that a master can do whatever he wants. And as a fallback, there was his scholarship program for all potential jurors. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
