Trumps attend music-filled church service on Christmas Eve

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump attended a music-filled Christmas Eve service at a Southern Baptist Convention-affiliated church before celebrating the holiday with dinner in the ballroom of his private club.

The pastor of Family Church in West Palm Beach, Florida, Jimmy Scroggins, and his family greeted the Trumps as they arrived moments into a “Candlelight Christmas Celebration.” Brief sermons and readings by clergy were interlaced between traditional Christmas songs, as theatrical smoke billowed and fake snow descended from the rafters.

The Trumps then returned to his private club, where they were greeted by applause as they entered for Christmas Eve dinner. Trump was asked what he’d bought Mrs. Trump for Christmas. A “beautiful card,” he said, and admitted that he was “still working on a Christmas present (for the following day).”

What a couple of miserable wrecks. They don’t even pretend to act like a couple anymore. And he is always out front and center, ahead of her, so crass.

"A beautiful card," which an aide could buy for $1.99 at the nearest convenience store.

She should have hinted that she had some dirt on the Bidens..............

We all remember the horrors of Michelle Obama doing that.

Bare arms versus bare ass. Image available in this link if you scroll down (just in case you don't remember this profound hypocrisy)-

His parents seem to want to keep him hidden or forget he exists. Even on Christmas.

And,
on Christmas Eve,
he still had not thought about what to get her for Christmas?

Well, he said he did give her a card (someone had bought).
