I have often thought God must get awful tired of ones asking for forgiveness then going out and doing the same thing again.

Trump is saying he wants to accept responsibility for his own actions.

“I am not sure that I have” ever asked God for forgiveness, telling the 2015 Iowa Family
Leadership Summit that “I just go on and try to do a better job from there.

“I don’t think so,” Trump, who is Presbyterian, said in response to the question
from pollster and summit host Frank Luntz.

“I am not sure that I have” ever asked God for forgiveness, telling the 2015 Iowa
Family Leadership Summit that “I just go on and try to do a better job from there.

“I don’t think so,” Trump, who is Presbyterian, said in response to the question
from pollster and summit host Frank Luntz. Trump was among 10 Republican presidential
candidates at the daylong event in Ames, Iowa.

“If I do something wrong, I think I just try to make it right,” Trump said. “I
don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.

“When we go into church — and when I drink my little wine, which is about the only
wine I drink, and have my little cracker — I guess that is a form of asking for
forgiveness. I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed, OK?

“But, to me, that is important,” Trump said. “In terms of officially, I could tell
you absolutely. I don’t think in terms of that. I think in terms of, ‘Let’s go on
and let’s make it right.’”

So seeking forgiveness is . . . not taking responsibility for one's actions?

Explain that, please.
