Money and/or Political Expediency Always Trumps Moral Truth for Donald John Trump

A thought occurred to me while I was starting to write “Life, Death, and Truth: Still Under Attack by Medicine and Law” that I did not address the brief remarks about President Donald John Trump’s visceral reaction to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the case of Learning Resources, Inc. v. Donald J. Trump, February 20, 2026.

Although the president, for whose conversion to the true Faith we must pray daily as well for his physical safety from those unfortunates who have dehumanized him the way that revolutionaries have always dehumanized their perceived enemies, railed about Friday’s Supreme Court decision and lambasted two of his appointees, Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, for siding with the Court’s majority in ruling against his claim to have the power to impose tariffs by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, going to far as to say that their own families should be “embarrassed” by their decisions, it was just five years, eight months ago that the President responded with great calmness and serene acceptance of the Court’s decision in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, June 15, 2020, that, contrary to the position argued by his administration before the Court during oral hearings, none other than Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, then completing his first term on the Court after Trump had appointed him to succeed the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, ruled that sodomites are protected against employment discrimination by means of the United States Civil Rights Act of 1964.

However, President Trump was very sanguine when the decision, written by his first Court appointee, Neil Gorsuch, the son of Reagan's first director of the Environmental Protection Agency Ann Gorsuch, went against what his administration had argued:

"I’ve read the decision, and some people were surprised," Trump said. "But they’ve ruled and we live with their decision.

"That’s what it’s all about. We live with the decision of the Supreme Court," the president said of the 6-3 decision, which irked many conservatives in part because Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch sided with the majority." 

"Very powerful. Very powerful decision actually," Trump added. "But they have so ruled."

The court ruled earlier Monday that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which forbids discrimination on the basis of "sex," applies to gay and transgender people. The decision was one of the most highly anticipated of the Supreme Court term and came in the middle of Pride Month.

This was contained in my own commentsary, Jurisprudential Social Engineering, July 6, 2020.

Trump cares about money and his unfettered use of presidential power, not about moral truth.

Gorsuch was in the majority in the Bostock and tariffs decisions. Trump had no problem with the first decision but has lambasted Gorsuch for the second.

Money always trumps moral truth in the worldview of Donald John Trump, who attacked Gorsuch for joining Friday’s decision but who reacted with great circumspection after the Bostock decision.

It is very sad to see some readers of this site project their own fondest hopes and beliefs into the materialistic mind of Donald John Trump as it seems not to matter that their “hero” personally hosted a party at Mar-A-Lago for sodomites after then President Joseph Robinette “Autopen” Biden, Jr., had signed the Orwellian “Respect for Marriage Act”  into law on December 13, 2022, the Feast of Saint Lucy.

(LifeSiteNews) – Just two days after Joe Biden signed the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” [RMA] into law, LGBT Republicans celebrated its enactment at a gala event at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort home, hosted by the former president himself.  

Trump was joined by Arizona’s 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate, Kari Lake, and an array of high profile “GayCons” (homosexual “conservatives”) including former Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, a Trump appointee, and frequent Tucker Carlson guest commentator Chadwick Moore.  

Fox News’ Tammy Bruce, a lesbian, received the “Spirit of Lincoln Award” from the Log Cabin Republicans, the GOP LGBT organization which sponsored the event.  Last year’s recipient was former First Lady Melania Trump. 

Here’s the thing: Instead of celebrating the passage and enactment of the new law, President Trump and Kari Lake should’ve seized the opportunity to renounce it.   

And instead of congratulating the 500 or so “GayCons” gathered in Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom, Trump and Lake should’ve asked these men and women to show that they truly are conservatives by affirming the immutable definition of marriage – as conjugal and complementary – and repudiating RMA.  

Although Trump reportedly did not mention the new law in his speech, he did proclaim, “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard.” 

“With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible,” added the former Republican president and declared 2024 candidate. 

According to Politico, Kari Lake employed foul language to address the crowd, saying, “We just had such a huge movement going into Election Day, to watch these people — these evil b*stards, can I say that here? To watch them steal this election in broad daylight, and if they think they’re going to get away with it, they messed with the wrong b*tch.”  

Among the other presenters and award recipients at the LGBT GOP gala were outgoing U.S. Senator Rob Portman, a Republican who defected from social conservatism to become one of 12 GOP Senators who voted for the RMA, and Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, formerly of Fox & Friends First.

“The Log Cabin Republicans attacked Matt Rinaldi for faithfully representing the socially conservative views of Texas Republicans. They launched a full-court press to demonize Rinaldi but it failed,” wrote Pedro Gonzalez in a long Twitter thread  critical of the Mar-A-Lago event.   

“These are the people Trump is hosting.” 

“The purpose of the Log Cabin Republicans is to move the GOP further left on the sexual revolution, to browbeat the socially conservative grassroots scene with LGBT nonsense—and Trump is acting as their *vehicle*,” he noted. 

Gonzalez continued: 

It’s not just that Trump is indistinguishable from Biden on this issue, it’s that he is elevating the Log Cabin Republicans and LGBT ideology to a level it has never seen on the right. 

The Log Cabin Republicans tried to destroy a grassroots Republican movement in Texas because it was too socially conservative—and Trump hosts them at his Winter White House to celebrate “gay rights.” 

Does it feel like that’s what we need right now? More LGBTism? 

“Tell me one more time that Trump is not the most pro-gay President in American history,” tweeted Gala attendee David Leatherwood.

“One cannot simply be MAGA, one must be ULTRA MAGA,” wrote Leatherwood in another tweet, featuring an oddly posed picture with Kari Lake and others. (Trump hosts gala for homosexual Republicans at Mar-a-Lago after Biden signs same-sex 'marriage' law.)

Although the author of this article believes that “conservatism” must be saved from the growing influence of sodomites, lesbians, mutants and other deviants, any and every form of Judeo-Masonic naturalism, including “conservatism” in all its multiple variations and permutations, is incapable of retarding the influence of evil within its ranks and/or that of society-at-large, something that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ made abundantly to clear to us in all the circumstances of our lives when he said:

I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. [5] I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

[6] If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. [7] If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples. [9] As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. [10] If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love. (John 15: 1-10.)

Moreover, Holy Mother Church has taught us consistently that it is impossible for there to be any kind of well-ordered society if men sin wantonly, celebrate it openly and then endeavor to institutionalize it under cover of law while seeking to shame anyone who opposes their shamelessness into silence:

For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them. (Romans 1: 18-32.)

[9] Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, [10] Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God. (1 Cor. 6: 9)

[6] And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. [7] As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. [8] In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty. [9] When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee. [10] But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.  (Jude 1 6-10.)

"The more closely the temporal power of a nation aligns itself with the spiritual, and the more it fosters and promotes the latter, by so much the more it contributes to the conservation of the commonwealth. For it is the aim of the ecclesiastical authority by the use of spiritual means, to form good Christians in accordance with its own particular end and object; and in doing this it helps at the same time to form good citizens, and prepares them to meet their obligations as members of a civil society. This follows of necessity because in the City of God, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, a good citizen and an upright man are absolutely one and the same thing. How grave therefore is the error of those who separate things so closely united, and who think that they can produce good citizens by ways and methods other than those which make for the formation of good Christians. For, let human prudence say what it likes and reason as it pleases, it is impossible to produce true temporal peace and tranquillity by things repugnant or opposed to the peace and happiness of eternity."(Pope Pius XI, Divini Illius Magistri, December 31, 1929.) 

Our cause is the Catholic cause, none other, and the Catholic cause can never be equated with any kind of definition of a “conservative” cause. One cannot fight the advance of evil with the adversary’s own tools of naturalism.

Alas and with a very heavy sigh, Donald John Trump’s support of perversity in popular culture and under cover of law is nothing new, and anyone who protests to be shocked about Trump’s support of the homosexual collective and its grip on popular culture, including the systematic programming of children at all levels of “education” (pre-school, elementary, secondary, collegiate, undergraduate and professional), and civil law either has had their heads buried in the sand or have made a deliberate and most calculated choice to remain silent because Trump is viewed as a “pro-life” president. No one, however, should be hailed as “pro-life” when he supports even one agenda item of those steeped in perversity and/or have devoted their lives to its promotion and acceptance in the name of “diversity.”

We are not called to be respecter of persons or enablers of the careers of those who support grave evils.

We have not been baptized and confirmed to keep our Holy Faith hidden under bushel baskets because we might harm the chances of this or that secular savior to get elected.

We have been baptized and confirmed to bear witness to the Catholic Faith without fear of the consequences.

Indeed, it is our duty to those who promote evil, indemnify it in the lives of others and celebrate its codification in the civil law to admonish them, to exhort them to be converted lest they lose their souls for all eternity in the flames and torments of hell where the devil and his fallen angels will torment them for being so prideful and stupid as to do their bidding for him, and in this regard, you see, the likes of “Father” Frank Pavone have failed to advance the sanctification and salvation of one Donald John Trump.

Unqualified public support for a man who supports the sin of Sodom must be undone by an unqualified reprimand. Anything less is just as hypocritical as Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s condemnation of opposition to the direct, intention killing of the innocent preborn in the realm of politics and public policy while indemnifying ever pro-abort, pro-sodomite civil official he has ever met and doing nothing to sanction those within his clergy who openly profession their allegiance and/or involvement in perverse sins against nature that ruin both men and their nations.

Enough of this.

May we pray Our Lady’s Sorrowful Mysteries during this time of Lent with great confidence that the day will come when the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart will be made manifest and her Divine Son will take His rightful place once again as the King of all men and all nations as one all lift high His Holy Cross, the one and only standard of authentic human liberty.
