The eighth commandment is “thou shalt not steal.” Stealing is to take or appropriate without right, and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully.” So, stealing is wrong, and we should do everything in our power to stop anyone who steals. You might say we need to “stop the steal.” Donald Trump seems to think that the 2020 presidential election rightfully belongs to him. It was stolen so to speak, and he is looking to stop it.
The ninth commandment is “thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” or, in other words, “thou shalt not lie.” Trump is clearly violating the ninth commandment as he falsely claims that others have violated the eight commandment. And now, to square the circle, Trump has been caught violating the eighth, which will require him to probably take the fifth. He literally stole classified documents that belong to the United States of America, and lied about it. Hopefully, we will find out why he did what he did, and what he planned on doing with documents. My guess is he was planning on using them to either sell to the highest bidder, or use them as a “get out of jail free” card. Maybe he just wanted to ingratiate himself to his bromance buddy, Putin.
I have no idea where this is all going to lead. My hope is that Trump settles, which is what he always does, and part of the settlement is that we will never have to deal with him again before we run out of commandments.
