@realDonaldTrump I work for a Christian University in Michigan. We’re open. We have a high school and elementary school that are also open. Churches on our campus are open - and all have been done safely thanks to @GovWhitmer ’s leadership & guidance. You have zero clue what you’re talking about.

Christian culture’s obsession with marriage needs to end. Stop teaching people that they’ve failed in life or missed out on something if they don’t get married - or that they are a failure if their marriage fails. Marriage isn’t the pinnacle of existence, wholeness is.
