Jesus said, "Say 'Yes' when you mean 'Yes,' and 'No' when you mean 'No." Anything else is from the evil one." (Mt. 5:37) "Remain in my words and you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (Jn. 8:31-32)

Trump's is driven not by the truth, but by "The Art of the Deal," focusing on self-promotion. As witnessed by his 70-year curriculum vitae, he will make no public admission, much less any confession that his sole desire is to be the best dealer in town, in the nation, in the world,  at any cost!

Truth is about covenant and fidelity no matter what the cost. Neither the Church nor the faithful should "make a deal" with truth, or with Trump.
