Thin grasp here, but a video-bio on Trump during the campaign labeled him Presbyterian. He attended church, (at least once) with his parents, who enjoyed I believe it was, Norman Vincent Peale. Trump remarked that hearing Peale speak made Trump not want to leave.
Othrwise, a paper thin resume on his religious interest or understanding, I guess.
If you only know Dr. Peale as the author of a book called "The Power of Positive Thinking" you would only have about 15% grasp the depth of whats going on here.
Alow me to write for the youngins. Dr. Peale would make the Tony Robbins and other folks today teaching and preaching the power of positive thinking look like amateurs. Dr. Peale book swept the entire nation in the early 60's. He combined what alot see as "new age" thinking which is nothing more than old age eastern thinking and combined it with the power of the word of God.
Now some of you will say no way is Trump a Christian man. Well I aint gonna judge that, but I do know that Trump was a big student of Dr. Peale who taught him how to control and disciplne and visualize the mind. Trump has perfected it.
When Trump speaks the way he does . . . We are going to do this or that and we are going to be big and be great . . . I am sorry but thats right out of the book of Dr. Peale. Trump is actually practicing exercising the rules and elements from that book and it works. Have a vision, repeat that vision, y'all know how it works, very few of us practice it. Trump did and does.
One more thing I learned about the man. Some say he may be one of the best students of Sun Tzu . . . The Art of War. Those who are familiar, say Trump is a master of Sun Tzu. those two combinations and understanding the meaning of that is all you need to know.
Good job Rita
I’ve read Trump attended NVP’s church many times, not just once.
