What's this?

It encapsulates selling out pretty well

Donald Trump does not appear to be a religious man. He is a con artist (Trump University/not paying his bills). He cheated on at least one wife, and is now on his third. He bends the rules as far as possible. He is the opposite of humble. Does he seem to represent any one of Tony's five pillars? He quotes 'two Corinthians.' He made a mockery of a prayer by asking for people to pray for Arnold's Apprentice ratings. Yet Evangelicals voted for him in droves (I think 81%) without voicing a very strong voice against his ways that don't seem very Christian. Has he ever put anyone else ahead of himself? Evengelicals appeared to sell out their beliefs in support of him. It's very much like non-evangelical Republicans. The man has bent over backwards for Russia of all countries. He insults anyone and everyone who says anything negative about him. He doesn't know any details of any legislation. Yet Republicans don't really call him out. It is party before country. This picture captures Republicans selling their soul to Trump pretty well.
