The Silent Creed of President Trump

More on President's non participation in the creed: I like him even more for that. For a couple of reasons: one, if he doesn't believe his non participation shows that he respects Christianity and his own principles enough that he will not utter what he doesn't believe. And if he does believe then his non-recitation may be explained by perhaps a cough, by perhaps being outside his religious tradition, or perhaps some other innocuous thing. So either way, what is the problem? Regardless of which it is the Lord knows. Furthermore, if in fact President Trump and the First Lady do not believe they exemplified the strength of not going with the crowd even though it might incur misunderstanding or ridicule---especially and ironically from the atheistic Left. Thus, more and more I see him as a leader to be proud of and to admire. And last but not least, one can't charge him and the First Lady with the sin which seemed to bring our Lord to his most harsh of condemnations and that is the sin of hypocrisy harbored in the hearts of those that did in fact say the creed without believing a shred of it, saying it for the public, for the occasion, for the cameras. This, the recitation without belief, and not the non recitation for whatever reason, will be what incurs perhaps not the critique of the cameras but the critique of Him to whom nothing, not even the inward man, is hid. That is the important thing.
