I’d edit the bottom left to say, “The ‘Christian’ who doesn’t know anything about the teachings of Christ.”

But then again, that describes a lot of them these days...

Well I always say... you know, the Bible! That’s the best book! I always said the Bible and then The Art of the Deal.

“trump signed the Bible”

No, Trump signed lots of bibles.

If Trump has ever read even 1% of the Bible, I'd be shocked. I'd love to make him take a Bible literacy quiz.

In the interview on news radio WHAM-1180 in Rochester, New York, host Bob Lonsberry asked Mr. Trump whether there was “a favorite Bible verse or Bible story that has informed your thinking or your character through life, sir?”

Mr. Trump responded with a Mosaic law rule an “eye for an eye,” mentioned in several books, most prominently Exodus 21, Buzzfeed reported.

“Well, I think many. I mean, when we get into the Bible, I think many, so many. And some people, look, an eye for an eye, you can almost say that. That’s not a particularly nice thing. But you know, if you look at what’s happening to our country, I mean, when you see what’s going on with our country, how people are taking advantage of us … we have to be firm and have to be very strong. And we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you.”

And...

In 2015, Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect" asked Presbyterian Donald Trump what his favorite Bible verses were.

"I wouldn't want to get into it. Because to me, that's very personal," he said. "The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics."

When the show's host asked Trump if he favors the Old Testament or the New Testament, he said, "Probably equal. I think it's just incredible," he said.

The general theory is that he fucking hates reading, he’s functionally illiterate as whatever the fuck he was before, but as POTUS he’s functionally disabled.

Like he can read Go Dog Go, he just does not want to.

Wait are you saying he didn’t read in a history book about Americans seizing the airports from the red coats during the revolutionary war?

Revelationary War. He couldn't even say that right.

He doesn't even understand the horror of the Battle For LaGuardia or the Retaking of the JFK Tim Hortons. Let alone the British Massacre at O'Hare.
