On Tuesday, while criticizing the Iran Nuclear Deal, Trump commented that John Kerry "did not read 'The Art of the Deal,'" and that he "probably didn't read the Bible either."
-snip-
Trump's joke led to his claim that "Nobody reads the Bible more than me" - a statement that sent millions of critics into fits of laughter.
Responses came immediately, with recollections of Trump's interview where he claimed the Bible was his favorite book, but then refused to share his favorite verse.
His use of blanket statements and vague comments to shy away from directly answering a single question about the Holy Scriptures led several to believe the presidential hopeful had no idea what he was talking about.
Following his Nevada caucus win, Trump commented, "I love evangelicals," swiftly followed by "I love the poorly educated."
-snip-
How can the Republican candidate claim he loves evangelicals and that the Bible is his favorite book when he can't even properly pronounce 2 Corinthians?
Other gaffes include a visit to a Mainline Protestant church, which supports gay marriage, and mistaking the communion plate for an offering plate.
It is obvious Donald Trump is willing to lie his way to the top. He has stated, on numerous occasions, that evangelicals love him.
No. No we do not.
If Donald Trump is willing to lie about reading the Bible and commanding righteous faith, what other falsehoods has the businessman been spreading? How could his stream of lies affect the United States should he be elected the next American President?

With any luck, Americans will wake up and understand that Donald Trump is not the man he claims to be and cannot be trusted to follow through with any of his promises.

ROTFL. Use "Alberta" next time around. Just as funny, and is more a "state" than is "Canada."
I only follow the Teachings of Jesus Christ with daily failures. I am also a Trump supporter.
Have a happy Super Tuesday!
Re-read my post and answer it.
I agree with you. I read the Bible fairly regularly. Most people I know would not believe me if I told them and it is none of their business anyways. I do not know or care about the accepted terminology for identifying verses.
Judge not lest you be judged.
Then. Hello my brother. But I think you are wrong on this.
I wish he would stop trying to pretend to be something he isn’t. There’s just no way he’s this super-devout Christian that he keeps claiming to be. I don’t buy it for a second, and he should just knock it off.
Is that the best sliming by association you can come up with? Why in the last few days alone, I've seen Trump's followers labeled as being like Nazis, the followers of Stalin and Pol Pot. You're going to have to try harder.
CALLER: Who put the roof on? Who cut his grass? Now, I’m all for immigration. Take them all away. Round ‘em up. I’d be out of business for about a week. But I’m an American, and I will survive.
Notice, the caller says round them up, I’d be out of business, and I will survive. The caller is saying he is willing to give up the illegals.
Then Rush goes off on this tangent, despite what the caller just said, “take them all away...I will survive.”
RUSH: Wait a second. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on just a second. Are you validating now supporting the whole concept of illegal immigration because they’re good at certain jobs, at certain...?
The caller was not saying he was supporting the whole concept of illegal immigration, he was supporting Trump.
Then the caller is obviously pursuing his own train of thought and then Rush labels it something else.
CALLER: I don’t think it matters what Trump says right now. When Obama was running, we prayed for a candidate that it wouldn’t matter what he said.
RUSH: Well, there you have it. Folks, right there: It doesn’t matter what Trump says. I don’t know how you do battle with that. Seriously. I’m not putting down the caller.
END TRANSCRIPT
They all work.
He means it literally. Nobody: “a person of no importance or authority.”
I don’t care if Trump reads the Bible or not. I do care that he blatantly lies about it.
I have yet to see anyone disprove this. I seems to be a case of “I don’t agree with him, so there’s no way he reads the Bible”
I think none of the others do, except if they are cramming for an evangelical event.
Here’s an interesting list; I had wondered if anyone was keeping track. Doesn’t reflect a man who reads the Bible all the time.

This is just hyperbole. It’s like when Trump says stuff like no one loves the 2nd amendment more that him.
Why are these people so tightly wrapped?
If you don’t make judgments, then on what basis are you deciding for whom to vote?
This is just hyperbole. It’s like when Trump says stuff like no one loves the 2nd amendment more that him.
Why are these people so tightly wrapped?
“Trump strongly reacted to the Cruz campaign using a media report in the Iowa Caucuses against Ben Carson, calling Cruz’s victory a fraud.”
Apples / Oranges. Is this the best you got?
This boy just did not get enough whippings while he was young, bet he got his siblings in trouble and said I dn do nuttin, and got by with it.
This boy is just not wired right, and with all the hate he has for people, he is evil to the bone. Never seen anything like him before/well with the exception of the Clintons. They are of the same character of deceit and self gratification.
Except that Trump has perfected Hillary's politics of personal destruction to a masterful campaign stragedy, and his cult give him a pass. So how is he different from Hillary? nada, zilch, zero difference. America will never be Great again if he is elected. He is a pathological Liar, it is a sickness that he projects on to his enemies and gets by with it by his cult org.
May GOD have mercy on those of us who resisted this evil man, and yet will have to live through his nightmare at least 4 years.
“I only follow the Teachings of Jesus Christ with daily failures. I am also a Trump supporter.”
Amen to that!
Have a happy Super Tuesday!
