Just 24 hours before he’s to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, known grifter and serial sexual predator Donald Trump will attend a church service in Washington, DC.
However, if you think Trump will be attending church because of some newfound spirituality, think again, because he’s charging his supporters $100,000 for the honor of being in his presence while God looks down and likely frowns.
According to Religion News Service, “But those who want to join need to weigh the price of prayer: Tickets to the service will be awarded only to those who donate at least $100,000 to Trump’s inaugural ceremonies, or who raise $200,000.”
“Earlier this month, Axios cited a seven-page prospectus that listed the service alongside several other donor-only events, such as a ‘cabinet reception’ with Trump’s nominees and ‘candlelight dinner’ with Trump and Melania.
In other words, it seems Donnie is now a high priest in the Church of Grift.
The location for the church event had originally been planned at St. Joseph’s, a historic Catholic Church on Capitol Hill, but the priest at St. Joseph’s, Rev. William H. Gurnee, made it clear he hadn’t granted permission.
“While I was asked to host the event, I informed the organizer that I needed more information and it was mistakenly reported that final permission was granted,” Gurnee noted in an email.
Gurnee added, “It is my feeling that this event would be better hosted at another location.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has pretended to be a spiritual person.
At Trump’s 2017 inauguration, Donald attended a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, the same location where he sent law enforcement to forcibly remove Black Lives Matter protesters.
The Church of Trump has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Their motto can be, Let us fleece.
