Pastors who stood by Trump after Charlottesville plead for him to show heart for dreamer immigrantsBy Frances Stead Sellers September 4 at 6:51 PM
Pastor Jentezen Franklin looked at President Trump across his desk in the Oval Office last week and made an impassioned plea for empathy.
For several minutes, Franklin, leader of a multiethnic megachurch near Atlanta, pressed Trump to understand the plight of the hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who had been brought to the United States illegally by their parents, received legal status under the Obama administration and now feared that Trump would order their deportation.
I know these kids, Franklin recalled telling Trump.
They are good kids? Trump asked, according to Franklin.
Yes, sir, Franklin said he replied. They are.
Then the pastor, a father of five, noted the presidents love for his own kids. I want to see that kind of heart toward these children, Franklin said he urged.

"pestule". Do you mean pustule? An inflamed elevation of the skin filled with pus?
If not, what is the definition?

Uh....Reverend, did you forget that Trump wants to f*** his own daughter?
Love like that we don't need.

He's done nothing within the range of normal, and my guess is his money hides a lot of damag3 in that family
