"The new Pope is a humble man, very much like me, which probably explains why I like him so much!" - Donald Trump

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges, is not Christian." - Pope Francis

"If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened . . . 

For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened." - Donald Trump

"I invite you not to build walls but bridges, to conquer evil with good, offence with forgiveness, to live in peace with everyone." - Pope Francis

"We kind of gave [Donald], all right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over here." - Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (an evangelical activist group)

"It's time to pray for the president (Donald Trump) . . . What's happening right now in America, is witchcraft's trying to take this country over." - Pastor John Kilpatrick, Alabama 

"[T]he gays, they do everything they can to get their politicians into office, and they have every right to do that. And I’m just saying, we, as Christians, we have every right to have the Christian voice in office." - Rev. Franklin Graham (son of Billy) 

"It may be immoral for [evangelicals] not to support him . . . They need to look at what the president did for the poor . . . I can’t imagine him doing anything that’s not good for the country." - Jerry Falwell Jr.

"A Trump administration, our Christian heritage will be cherished, protected, defended, like you've never seen before. Believe me. I believe it. And you believe it. And you know it. You know it. " - Donald Trump 

@TheTweetOfGod

Happy New Year!

Some US presidents have experienced umbrella difficulty. 

One, in particular, finds rain challenging. 

Other world leaders, including tyrannical ones, apparently aren't concerned with excessive moisture.

World War I ended 100 years ago. World leaders met to commemorate the veterans and to acknowledge a duty to preserve the peace.  

Fitting the solemnity of the occasion, it rained. 

Trump, possibly due to an umbrella inability, did not attend the commemoration but did tweet "Happy 243rd Birthday" to the U.S. Marine Corps from the hotel room.     

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron were among leaders honoring those who died in WWI.  

"The old demons are rising again, ready to complete their task of chaos and of death. . . . Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism." - Emmanuel Macron

Post Script: 

Trump topped off Veteran's Day by announcing Florida should ignore mail-in ballots, which have a high percentage of votes from Military personnel. 

Hopefully, veterans and military personnel had a Veterans Day befitting their sacrafice.
