Trump is a figurehead. Rogue Nazis like Stephen Miller & Noem & Bonvino are running the country with support from the Koch brothers & Peter Thiel. They are all protected by SCOTUS who was bought & paid for by Leonard Leo & his Opus Dei cult posing as Catholics.Trump gets to run around scooping up $.

A Catholic bragged about refusing the Eucharist from an Indian woman, citing his own racist views and the “Great Replacement” theory.

Then he insisted confession would make up for everything.
