ezs note:  In my (very) humble opinion, this film is one of the very best in skewering that blowhard, chipmunk-brained, pseudo-president Donald Trump.  It also calls to task Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham for the charlatans they are.  In six minutes.  Whether the person who sees this film is non-religious, semi-religious, or fully religious, this is essential viewing.  If you feel so moved, spread this film to all your friends.

Let's stick a fork in this blowhard.
