Trump: The Cognitive Slip Continues...

The Orange Crazies and the beneficiaries of the grift aren't the same people. I can see Trump themed "I'm going to be raptured" gold medalions if they were sure they would sell.

 

And yet white eveangelicans voted 80+% trump in 2024. Talk about a completley moraly corrupt movement.

VIOLATION!

 

It’s explained in the tweet

 

At least he's being a dick to other people too.

 

I'm normally in the "if they say they are Christian they are Christian" school, but I'm as certain as I could be that Trump isn't one. Trump isn't just ignorant of the Bible, he's astonishingly so. Forget naming the tenets of the religion, he can't even name a single story from the Bible. Even an incurious person - even a charlatan - would have picked up something by osmosis, but he's lived his life in a way to make sure even that can't happen. Until the moment he discovered it can be useful to him he shielded himself from Christianity. His current claims are so transparent you have to be a fool to think they have any weight at all.

To be an -ian of anything you have to have those beliefs have meaning to your decisions - even if you utterly twist the original intent to match what you want it to be. Trump doesn't even do that. He is totally driven by his id, and not only is he not guided by any principle, he doesn't even justify himself with any principle.

 

Until you put me on your payroll, that’s your problem, not mine.

Trump likes to guess the shoe sizes of people in his administration and then buys them $145 Florsheims. The recipients are afraid to not wear them. Here’s an image of Marco Rubio.

 

This sets off so many WTF’s with me. Florsheims? Really? And these people have nobody close to them that can make a run to the local men’s warehouse to pick them up the same exact pair on a size that fits?

Part of me suspects Trump actually knows their shoe sizes and purposely buys the wrong size just to see if they’ll humiliate themselves in front of him. Or at a minimum they think that’s what Trump is up to and fear swapping them out themselves.

 

He'll be wanting to get something out of it. He doesn't do anything altruistic.

 

But, surely, the grift is for the donald's benefit and if he doesn't believe, that isn't relevant. I mean, your statement rather assumes that it will hasten the rapture?

I'm guessing the genuine crazies aren't in on the grift.

 

And who can forget Two Corinthians

 

OK, that's a better way of putting it

 

Maybe in his youth he might have known those things, but in his first election after saying the Bible was his "favorite book", he was given a softball question asking what his favorite verse was, and he couldn't name any. He could have said anything and it would have been fine.

 

Tonight’s reading!

His parents were huge fans of Norman Vincent Peale. Peale is famous for this book.

I also saw on Wikipedia that he was attached to a church when he was young. But all that is gone now, at least since he became part of the Epstein class, probably before. For all the exposure to that book, he couldn't remember any of it. And even worse is that a year after that first question about a Bible passage he was asked the same question, and given a year to prepare his answer was "an eye for an eye". I guess some props for actually picking something from the Bible, but his interpretation is 180° from the original meaning.
And it's such a flippant answer it shows he barely considered he might be asked that question again. This isn't just disregard for the question, it's disregard for the very concept of having a favorite Bible passage.

 

Like you could?!?!?!
