Hi, I’m God.
Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What he said: 💯 🎯
I have a different take on this to most commenters after watching US politics closely all year.. Trump is so very dangerous. What does Australia have to do to appease him and remain safe? How far do they need to go? What lengths will they go to? What will be both enough and not too much?
