Trump goes incognito for Christmas: The Donald avoids waiting cameras as he attends midnight mass w

Donald Trump may be a fierce debater and a brash critic who is always happy to speak his mind and then some, but there seems to be one place the presidential hopeful is more than happy to lay low - church.

Trump and his family attended the 10:30pm midnight mass service at Bethesda-By-The-Sea in West Palm Beach, Florida on Christmas Eve, and the billionaire businessman somehow managed to avoid the massive number of photographers and members of the press waiting outside to document his arrival.

Instead he slipped inside unnoticed for the service, with the only photographs from the evening coming from some of his fellow churchgoers who uploaded them to social media.

*snip*

Trump's fellow midnight-mass attendees mostly just wrote on Twitter that they had spotted Trump at the service, with a few noting that they were checked by Secret Service members before entering the church.

His Secret Service detail may explain why he slipped in unnoticed as they likely coordinated his entrance to avoid any possible safety concerns for him and his family.

I thought he was a proud Presbyterian? Although, Catholics welcome all at Mass.

As it should be. The church visit and giant bible tucked under the arm should not be a location and prop for a photo op.

As it should be. The only celebrity at Christmas should be the Christ child.

Merry Christmas!

It’s actually Episcopal. Not the kind of place this Presbyterian would choose, but perhaps he had friends there.

OK, he is gaining respect.

Now we know he recognizes one Master . . .

Very much unlike the usurper in chief of today. Did odumbo even go to church, er....mosque? I doubt it.

It's a "high church" Episcopal parish.

They call their service "Mass" if they are really high.

If he’s elected, I suspect he’ll find himself keeping his Bible even closer at hand.

Maybe Mr. Obama recognized his Unitarian grandmother’s faith today and did nothing.

Obama has attended church services as well. Doesn’t “prove” anything.

The bread is fake, the wine is real. The only place to be at midnight Christmas eve is an Episcopal church.

And if he decides to have Sen Cruz as VP, than he could have fellowship by example.

Which man utilizes church attendance as a photo op?

As it was for Slick Willie when he emerged from church, biting that lip for the photo op, preparing to go lie his butt off the next day in deposition

I’ll never forget that phony

I'm Episcopalian, but currently attend a Lutheran church. When back in my home town, I`ll attend a Baptist church with my sister occasionally.

Maybe I`m different than most, but a Christian Church is a Christian church and I just don`t have denominational hang ups, though I prefer Episcopal services like the ones I grew up with.

Either way, Trump is a practicing Christian and not a cokehead muslim twink narcaccistic liar leading an Islamic invasion of the United States. I`ll take it.
