Funny on another thread, one of our Catholic freepers likened Trump to Jehu.

Well guess what I saw from merriam-webster.com

Originally a commander of chariots for Ahab, king of Israel, Jehu later led a revolt against the throne and became king himself. In the Bible, it is noted of Jehu that “he drives furiously” (II Kings 9:20). In the 17th century, English speakers began using jehu as a generic term meaning “coachman” or, specifically, “a fast or reckless coachman.” Today, we are more likely to use the word in reference to reckless cabdrivers. The phrase drives like Jehu is encountered occasionally, too.

So yeah. Trump is a pushy guy. He’s got the Democrats in a red-hot froth and falling apart at the seams. No wonder they are screaming at him to slow down.

Jehu also killed Jezebel and ran over her body repeatedly with his chariot, aka Hillary could be likened to Jezebel..
