I read the book Profiles in Courage.

Many of the profiles are of people whose political act resulted in them losing their next election.

For example, Senator Edmund G. Ross voted against conviction for impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson.

Ross lost his next election.

Trump has no morality or moral center.

I suspect, regardless of what his cult says, that Trump has no moral, ethical or religious beliefs.

It requires no courage to be always looking out for oneself.
