Trump: "We will pray to God for our strength and for our liberty. We will pray for God and we will pray with God."

His ignorance and reliance on posing as something he isn't will lose him more supporters. Only the most delusional will be able to twist themselves into finding reasons to ignore that he is a fraud, a blasphemer, and a general sociopath.

We atheist know more about religions than Trump knows about his left hand.

They spent a few hundred years fighting each other over ‘the true nature of christ’, and various heresies kept resurfacing, generally over the idiocy of the orthodox version, basically up to and including the modern era.

Doesn't go around saying they pray FOR or WITH God. It's the kind of mistake a 6 year old, who is just learning about god, makes.

He also goes around saying make America pray again. You'll have to force me to pray ever again. So, that's clearly a threat.

So much for freedom of religion under a MAGA presidency.

... when I was a young leftist in NYC and hated Trump as one of several union busting landlords, at least he never got religious about it. Note: There was a situation with maintenance workers in Manhattan office buildings.

Nor did he talk that way as a pro wrestling impresario, nor as a "reality" TV host.

Just sayin'

Where he told them they wouldn't have to vote again, he also said, "I'm Not Christian".

He clearly says it and uses hand and head gestures to reinforce what he was saying.

And no corporate media even mentioned it or asked him if he was still Not Christian. They are gaslighting us.

And the Christians there didn't even notice it. Would the Christian anti Christ be a Christian? Is Satan a Christian?

Saying you're Not Christian to a group of Christians you want voting for you and who are supporting you, sounds very much like what a devil would do.

He said 'with.' And if one believes the omnipresent being claim, then if you're praying, you could very well be praying with the guy. He could be sitting right there beside you praying away.

Makes as much sense as anything else people claim about the dude.
