Donald Trump is obviously not a religious person but he did attend church as a kid and his pastor was none other than Norman Vinvent Peale the author of the best-selling book “The Power of Positive Thinking.”
Little Donnie may not have absorbed any biblical lessons but he did hear Peale’s message:
At a White House congressional ball tonight, President Trump made brief comments while the Judiciary Committee members continued to debate the articles of impeachment.
“Our country is doing really great,” he said, while touting the stock market records and thanking the Pences and the first lady.
He said his family calls the White House a home, but some presidents called it a house — and some called it much worse .
‘We’re going to have a fantastic year,” he said. “The best year in decades.”
I don’t know what he’s blabbering about with the White House. He’s the one who called it a shithole when he moved in. But the bragging in the face of political catastrophe is far from positive thinking. It’s delusional.
This White House ball is reminiscent of the scene in Gone With the Wind where the confederates ate dancing away as the country explodes.
