Saint Nellynationalism and Nazi salutesy’all – President Donald Trump’s second inauguration was just as boring as the first, and he got some equally boring help this time from a grumpy clergyman.

It was boring to see Trump and his stupid loyalists partying. It was annoying to see this billionaire who surrounds himself with billionaires and promises to make more billionaires. billionaire-iffic to be praised as a man of the American people and the working class. It was annoying to see a rabid orange-white nationalist who spent his entire campaign promoting racism and bigotry invoking Martin Luther King Jr.'s name. – and it was even more annoying to see a black pastor helping him do it.
Meet Rev. Lorenzo Sewell. He's boring.
From The Associated Press:
A Michigan pastor's prayer extensively quoted King's seminal “I Have a Dream” speech alongside the Declaration of Independence, patriotic songs and gospel hymns.
In his approximately three-minute spirited invocation Monday, the Rev. Lorenzo Sewell thanked God for the new Trump administration and prayed “for America to start dreaming again.”
The comments were at times a near-complete rendition of King's 1963 speech. He asked God to “let freedom ring” across the country and to ensure that Americans were “free at last.” Finally free. Thanks to God Almighty, we are finally free.
Sewell was a pillar of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. He hosted Trump at his church in June, spoke at the Republican National Convention in July and attended numerous campaign roundtables featuring religious leaders and pro-Trump conservative Christian rallies.
Sewell, pastor of the nondenominational 180 Church on Detroit's west side, simply couldn't sing the praises of his little apricot-hued overseer without casting Trump as the white savior who will do it. Miss Millie Dr. King’s “dream” became a reality for black people everywhere. It would be nice if these Black MAGA supporters could just shed their own identity instead of giving MLK's name while dancing about his legacy of Caucasian acceptance.

It turns out that Sewell isn't just using his ties to Trump to deliver the good word from the bowels of the Holy Sunken Place – he also sells cryptocurrencies for the Lord.
According to ProteaJust hours after Trump was sworn in, Sewell announced the launch of “LORENZO,” a crypto token that he said will help him and his supporters “realize the vision that God has called us to do on our Earth”. Look, obviously Sewells' entire existence feels like an unreleased episode of The Boondocks, but it's all entirely in character, given that his MAGA messiah is a 34-time felon who sells Bibles when he's not cheating not his wives and does not pay money. to prostitutes.
Not that we need more proof that Sewell is a false prophet selling his congregation false ways to make a profit (see what I did there?), but the token that Sewell (who is also a token) highlights is down 97%.
From Protos:
According to GeckoTerminal, the token was spear at 6:50 p.m. (GMT) and reached a maximum of $0.0353710 within three hours. However, it then fell by almost 97% in just 30 minutes.
Many were unimpressed with the pastor's crypto pivot. A user said“This pastor is going to hell bruh lol”, while the count X Republicans against Trump said“Have you no shame?”
In his post, Sewell states: “I have permanently locked my tokens in a liquidity pool so that I never sell on the community, but rather simply earn fees as our token continues to thrive!
Welcome – you get what you get prayed for, I suppose.
