Reverence

You don’t have to be a believer to find this message grotesque. But notice the time-stamp as well as the words: Trump* began tweeting this morning at least three hours before this tweet, which is clearly something of an afterthought, hardly the first thing on his mind. I’ve seen that happen with other days and occasions too. Maybe someone prompts him: “Sir, . . . .”

I thought of Eliot's "In spite of that, we call this Friday good."

Probably just what Trump* was thinking of...

No doubt. T.S. Eliot, like Frederick Douglass, is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more.
