More than eight years ago, when Donald Trump was still a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, he stood before voters and made a promise.

“I will always tell you the truth,” Trump said in August 2016, at a rally in battleground North Carolina.

America is sharply divided on whether Trump has since come even close to keeping that promise. But he will be sworn in next month for a second term of office, and is likely to promise anew a commitment to truth and transparency.

Sources close to the Dicastery for Bishops have confirmed that the cardinal’s retirement is imminent.

Trump went into Office so blindly the first time ...
I'm not quite sure what to expect when he returns for a second round ...
but I'm glad that he is.

I'm praying the Lord guides him.
