I don’t want to get into scripture interpretation, there are many that are far more bible literate than me. But I do know a con when I see one and this “nobody reads the bible more than me” is a con. Religion is not a deal breaker for me in choosing the POTUS, in fact I would prefer it not even being an issue in politics. I am not judging Donald Trump, as that is equally repugnant to me, that is up to God. BUT really, don’t you think Donald has gone a little too far with these comments?

Do you have proof or even evidence that there is someone on the planet reads the Bible more than Donald Trump?

HAHA! As if

Trump donates to Democrats = just doing business!
Trump donates to Sharpton = who cares!
Trump advocates for universal health care = in the past!
Trump hires foreign workers = nothing illegal about that!
Trump mocks a reporter's physical disability = the reporter is a liberal!
Trump advocates for amnesty = that was last month, old news!
Trump ducks a debate because he is afraid of Megyn Kelly = it was for the veterans!
Trump uses eminent domain for personal gain = not illegal!
Trump throws Kim Davis under the bus = hands to ears - LALALA!
Trump says he reads the Bible more than anyone = don't judge his religion!

It’s a vacuous statement as literally put because what does Trump know about others’ bible reading even if it was true?

And I agree it’s kind of pointless from that point of view too.

However, could there be a figurative sense intended... that Trump is claiming he’s more bible faithful? That would be an audacious claim, but one that would be at least somewhat relevant and open to discussion.

What if the actual implied statement is “When it comes to things that US Presidents need to do, I follow the bible better than the next guy”?

It's not even a good con. It's a giant loser. It's a big fail even as a throwaway line. Why would he say something that stupid, unless he actually thinks there's some competition to see who reads the Bible the most?

Honestly...considering some of the things this joker says, I'm starting to wonder if there's actually any intelligent life under that bad orange combover.
