Trump's promotion of a "national news network" is not, as you claim, "just more propaganda."
It is a fact.
Furthermore, in terms of the discussion you began, it is a Foundational Fact.
It is also a fact that Trump is the most mendacious president in U.S. history - and by a wide measure.
No one comes close.
The "man" lies more easily than he metabolizes.
He could put on a clinic for Satan.
Trump is a solipsist-narcisist who will say ANY goddamn thing to procure praise that bolsters his fragile, vengeful ego and feeds his pathological need for approval/validation.
But even more central to our discussion is St. Paul's observation that "the love of money is the root of all evil."
"The root of all evil" is not abortion, or baby-killing, or any other conservative red-button issue.
"The root of all evil is the love of money."
St. Paul The Apostle Comments On Trump's Greed
Note well:
We cheat every time we turn to another topic whenever someone else's position is demonstrated to be true, and our own position is proven factually false.
Trump, Trumpistas -- and the vanishingly few white, conservative Christians who are not Trumpistas -- change their positions ALL the time.
"Changing the topic" --- and changing it by resorting to "alternative facts" "fake news" "conspiracy theories" and faith-based assumptions --- is Christian conservatism's daily bread, the intrinsically false foundation on which their whole House of Cards is built.
