Worshippers at a New Jersey church cheered Donald Trump on Sunday, telling the president-elect to “follow his heart.”
Trump arrived at Lamington Presbyterian Church in Bedminster Township for services at 10 a.m. and left to enthusiastic applause at 11:15 a.m.
The church is just two miles from The Donald’s Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, where the president-elect was set to interview cabinet candidates.
Congregant Jim Tiesi, 66, shook Trump’s hand and told him the nation has his back.
“I just told him that I hope he understands the country supports him and not to be distracted by the noise,” said Tiesei, likely one of the 47 percent voters who backed Trump. “He told me, `Thank you.’ ”
Shelley Ricco, 62, said she’s excited about the incoming administration.
“I just want to say thank you to president-elect Trump from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been a member of this church for 45 years and the whole congregation is thrilled to have him,” Ricco said.
“We gave him a standing ovation at the end of mass, a rousing stand standing ovation!”
She added: “I hope he follows his heart.”
While Trump is deeply unpopular in Jersey as a whole, he’s well regarded in this little red-ish corner of the Garden State.
Hillary Clinton carried Jersey by more than 13 percent points and 400,000 votes.
But in Bedminster, Trump edged Clinton 2,258 votes to 2,250 ballots.

Donald Trump graciously Supplies Tent, Heater and Hot Soup to Press
Nice! I’m sure he doesn’t stiff waitstaff like Hillary did.
He actually thinks about other people.
Where was that at, the church?
You have an emIl address? I’d love to do the same.
Classy move. It gets REALLY cold and you’re basically stuck there and restricted from movement. That was VERY much appreciated by the media assembled.
Out of the Trump towers...
Into a world of woe...
HA, I just started a thread about this ...!
He believes in doing good even to his enemies. That doesn’t mean he won’t tell them off for misbehavior!

Awesome! I’ll do the same. Thank you.
““follow his heart.””
I hope Trump follows Jesus above all.
Terrific! Thanks!
Part of the liberal PCUSA, but looking at their website, they don’t appear to be proud of the fact. Looks like about 300 members, although they’ve quit reporting numbers and dollars to the denomination, another indication that they really aren’t happy with the bosses in Louisville.
Bedminister is a conservative town.
Lots of places like that in southern New Jersey.
Trump is a natural fit for the church there.
Amen!
Bedminster is in northwest N J, about 40 miles west of Manhattan. The four counties just to its west are small town America and voted big for Trump.
