And yet, some churchs took him at his word and are hold services with
packed house.  Also, Trump said that he is going to church while in
Florida, where that is allowed.  Meanwhile most other folks are going to
church/attending mass via virtual displays on the internet.

 GD> What you and others seem to be doing here is sounding the alarm bells

Trump destroyed his own credibility a long time ago.

 GD> Twisting and largely taking out of context what the man hopes to see

 GD> see where we are.  That is misleading, vile and disgusting.   

Those other remarks were after his health experts convinced him that
such a thing was not a wise thing to do or say.
