While it’s been obvious for years now that those who support failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump aren’t exactly fond of facts and truth, one of his acolytes suggested that the disgraced ex-head of state is “so doggone close” to Jesus.
CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan was speaking with some of Trump’s evangelical Christian supporters and asked Grace Riedinger, “Is [Jesus] on the ballot?”
Riedinger happily replied, “He’s not on the ballot, but Trump is so doggone close.”
O’Sullivan then asked another Trumper, Sharon Manders, “Do you think, is America a Christian country? Founded as a Christian country?”
“I believe that — growing up I did,” Manders responded. “Yes, founded as a Christian country.”
O’Sullivan: “But obviously in the Constitution, there is that separation of church and state?”
“Well yes, but then there’s also, uh, always — when I went to public school, we were allowed to pray.”
Students can still pray in public schools, as long as faculty members don’t lead the prayers.
“When you say Christianity is under attack in America, you’re talking about in the schools?” O’Sullivan asked.
“Not so much the schools, but just, uh — I just can’t come up with anything right now,” Manders confessed.
Donald Trump is by far the biggest heathen and hypocrite to ever be elected president. He never attends church, cannot name his favorite Bible verse, and has cheated on all three of his wives. Oh, and he has also admitted that he’s sexually attracted to his daughter, Ivanka.
So close to Jesus? To quote the Bible, “Jesus wept.”
