Of course god played off both sides. I've had Hillary supporters tell me that they were praying for her.

That certainly is the impression I get from outside the US: they voted for DT because they want creationism in schools, laws based on religion (and only one religion). Basically, they want a theocracy.

And when DT kicks the bucket and Mike Pence takes over, the book burning of science literature can begin...
