Excerpts: Trump was asked to name his favorite Bible verse.

The thrice-married, non church-attending New York "so-called" billionaire and reality TV star claimed it was “Two Corinthians,” rather than referring to it correctly as “Second Corinthians”

“The laughter and ridicule were embarrassing enough for Trump,” “But the news of Pastor Perkins endorsing Ted Cruz just a few days later sent him into a spiral. He began to speculate that there was a conspiracy among powerful evangelicals to deny him the GOP nomination.

In private over the coming years, Trump would use even more colorful language to describe the evangelical community. “When Cruz’s allies began using the ‘Two Corinthians’ line to attack him in the final days before the Iowa caucuses, Trump told one Iowa Republican official, ‘You know, these so-called Christians hanging around with Ted are real pieces of shit.’”

Author Alberta adds that “In private over the coming years”, Trump “would use even more colorful language to describe the evangelical community”.

Affray

So of all the heinous, evil shit he's said out loud on record, the Evangelicals try to cut him up for citing the Bible slightly incorrectly.

They don't care. He's the Great White Hope.

This is not a problem for them, they will vote for him nevertheless.

When trump talks about his "favorite book" being the Bible, I just can't even..............

LazyJack62

Two Corinthians walk into a bar...

Eucrow

To be fair, he thinks everyone is a piece of shit.

Pretty sure evangelicals get off on being degraded. Like their whole faith is predicated on being told they're unworthy and tarnished.

He may have wanted to win the nomination, but maybe the real treasure was the pieces of shit he met along the way.

Well . . . he's not wrong, even though . . .

"Two Corinthians"? He must have been boning up on his "pretending to have read the bible" skills since the last time I saw him asked that.

FoxPesdassi

So what if he still doesn't know a *book* from a *verse*? He's still God's appointed vessel! He said so himself, and I think *he* should know! Right?

Even Donald Trump is right occasionally

RenaissanceFaireMan

Next question should have been what does Corinthians 2 say/why is it your favorite?

hotaru251

The chances of him surviving Cheeto dye #2 use for 30 years means he will be calling out for his people to moisturize me at Four Seasons Total Landscaping before april.

The truly scary thing here is that he's not wrong.

I'm shocked he could name even one book in the Bible

Yellowchopsticks

I mean, that's just all evangelicals.

eclyptix

Yep, and now they all mutually suck each other off as if this tiff of theirs never happened

theInfinitelyProlonged

For such a "strong" "stable genius", he sure is the victim ALL THE TIME.

joechristo

all of these people are dbags

eromitlab

The evangelical community literally wants to be lied to, as long as they get to keep being the worst versions of themselves.

The pot calling the kettle black.

Never trust that man on a white chair

mrthewhitee

They don't care. None of them care. He will sign the bills they hand him. He could literally shove a crucifix up his ass and jerk off on a picture of Mary, and they'll still vote for him.
