Pulte’s grandfather, at one point one of the wealthiest men in the world, built a Fortune 500 company and gave tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to charity before his 2018 death.

3. It's like One Battle After Another

These guys have totally taken advantage of Trump. Trump is not a Christian in any way, but they propped him up in a way that ignorant people believe he is. Now, they are going in for the kill. There is way too much resistance for this to happen. When Trump is gone, his despicable policies and appointments will melt like the wicked witch.
