Well, DUH, and you figure that since Trump doesn't like asking for forgiveness that means he never does

He acknowledged publicly that he has never asked God for forgiveness. Was he lying about that? Or are my ears and eyes lying?

I'm just catching up, but I remember him saying that. It was one of those comments where I started rethinking supporting him if the candidate I liked didn't get the nomination. I believe he said this before he said PP does all kinds of good things.

it seems that many who are stuck on whether or not Trump has asked the God of the Christian Bible for forgiveness had no problem in 2012 voting for the Mormon Romney with his many Mormon gods, who not only has never asked God for forgiveness, he doesn’t believe in the Christian God nor the Christian Bible...

Discuss that

My memory says that Abe Lincoln also entered the presidency as an unbeliever. His final writings suggest he came to believe. The job humbled him. The same with Nebuchadnezzar.

Not to be too fastidious, but let's look at the actual quotes from a Frank Luntz interview with Trump. This is all the same interview.

Donald Trump said Saturday that "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.'"

When Luntz first asked the question, Trump said that he was Presbyterian and that his pastor was the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, the author and longtime pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in New York City. He died in 1993 at 95 years old.

"That's a tough question," is how Trump began his initial response. "I am a religious person. I'm Protestant. I'm Presbyterian. People are so shocked and they find this out.

"I go to church. I love God — and I love my church," he added. "The great Norman Vincent Peale was my pastor. He was so great. He would give a sermon, and you'd never want to leave."Newsmax.com http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/trump-does-not-ask/2015/07/18/id/657832/#ixzz45dbWpHgp

So, what do you think? Do you think the widely reported "never asked for forgiveness" is accurate?
