44. ICE: Les Misrables? Au contraire, they should be PROUD of the Traditions they are Upholding

More than 70 years after the liberation of Rome, the artworks that captured the Nazi’s nine-month occupation still resonate as strongly as ever...

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jul/25/liberation-of-rome-italian-imagination

After all, when Great Leader was asked at the recent performance of Les Miz if he identified more with Jean Valijean (whose life was destroyed by having stolen bread for his starving family) or with Inspector Javert who repeatedly destroyed his and so many other people's lives—He said "That's a tough one"

Interesting comment (right up there with "Good People on Both Sides" referring to Nazis and their victims in Charlottesville during his First Imperium) which almost left one with the feeling that Supreme Leader had perhaps even less knowledge of Les Misérables than of his multiply demonstrated unfamiliarity the Christian Bible

Above image is of Great Leader holding up a bible in front of an Episcopal Church after having goons without nametags clear the court yard around the White House in 2020 after cowering in the WH Bunker all day in fear of a peaceful protest.

He seems to have missed the message "All Are Welcome" (now actually ILLEAGAL to say in Idaho!) on the Church's notice board.

...While going to church holding a Bible as a prop to signify piety was not invented by Donald Trump, it probably was never carried off so badly...
