5. No Quality of Mercy from Trump

Trump demanded an apology after an Episcopal bishop asked him to have mercy for LGBTQ+ people and migrants.

He has done terrible things in the 11 months since this inauguration service.

From Shakespeare:

MENENIUS
There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29

PORTIA
The quality of mercy is not strained:
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
--Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice 4.1.180-183

I expect Heaven to him would be a type of Hell if he could not bully or lie to people.
