Dear God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, from the sacred Holy Bible, I pray you continue to punish the United States of America and those they've corrupted, with death, war, famine, pestilence, wild animal attacks, and natural disasters, until they fully release the Jeffery Epstien files and hold them all accountable in a court of a law, for their crimes against humanity, and children. I pray you riddle our military's with malfunctions, and make our troops, blind, deaf, and dumb to their adversaries, allowing them to be conquered, in Jesus Christ's name I pray amen.

Well, that clarifies things… at least Trump now admits and embraces that he was the problem all along, rather than the solution.
