Trump’s apprehension issues on full display.

For God so loved the world that he orchestrated a human sacrifice (to replace the bloody animal sacrifices he’d been getting) and had his son/himself nailed to a cross to suffer briefly (taking a few hours rather than the many days it would usually take someone to die)...
