'Like a State Dinner': Trump to Host Huge White House Event Honoring Evangelical Christians

[DonViejo]

By DAVID BADASH AUGUST 27, 2018 10:31 AM

Monday evening President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump,and Vice President Mike Pence will host a huge event honoring the contributions made by Evangelical Christians. One reporter from a far right wing Christian news organization is comparing it to a state dinner. It is being billed as a dinner "celebrating evangelical leadership."

About 100 Evangelical Christians are expected to attend. Among them, a large number of Cabinet members, and other top Trump administration officials. The White House has not released a list of invited guests, nor any agenda.

"Looking forward to celebrating with President Trump and the First Lady his unprecedented accomplishments in less than two years," Fox News pundit and right wing pastor Robert Jeffress tells David Brody at Pat Robertson's CBN News.

"President Trump is the most pro-life, pro-religious liberty, and pro-conservative judiciary president in history which is why evangelicals continue to support him enthusiastically," Jeffress, a top member of Trump's Evangelical advisory board, added.

The Texas pastor notably has labeled the Mormon faith a "cult." Catholics he says were led astray by "Satan." He also says Islam is an "evil religion." And he has repeatedly attacked LGBT people, calling homosexuality dirty and linking it to disease, pedophilia, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

1. "To Serve Man"

[muntrv]

2. Will he feed them Trump Steaks?

[Initech]

19. He'll probably also get a Diet Coke and two scoops of ice cream.

The irony that he chooses Diet Coke....

[Leghorn21]

3. Oh, what a marvelous evening!...will Michael Cohen and Omarosa be joining in a laying on of hands?!

[lagomorph777]

10. Apparently that Exorcism failed; the Evilgelicals need to try again.

[moose65]

13. This kind of stuff makes me laugh and shake my head

Just look at Trump in that picture. He looks SO uncomfortable, even worse than the proverbial deer-in-headlights. If he's ever said a real prayer, I'll eat dirt. It is SO unbelievable to me that an amoral, vile, foul-mouthed asshole has become a hero to the religious right. I've known many devout people in my life. Trump is the total antithesis of a Christian, so far away from anything that I was taught growing up. I will never, ever understand how they can defend him. And also, "all that he's done"?? Please. He's done zilch.

18. With any luck

it would have given him a bad case of buttsoup!

[Aristus]

29. Buttsoup.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. Maybe they'll all choke on dinner while they discuss turning the country into Gilead.

[Hekate]

6. "God'll get you for that." I think it was Bea Arthur as Maude who used to say that...

It so fits the hubris, arrogance, ignorance, and whited-sepulchre hypocrisy of today's Evangelicals and Trump.

Pride goeth before a fall, and when it comes it will be spectacular.

[Solly Mack]

7. Nauseating

[LisaM]

8. This event is going to be dead as a doornail.

I can't imagine very many events I'd feel less inclined to attend. A bunch of con men, with their mommy wives all dressed up like Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

[underpants]

9. Will they all sit on one side of the table?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Article doesn't say when. Is this real?

[Leghorn21]

26. Screen shot of Red Don's schedule today via reporter Dan Dale:

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Thanks! Had no idea he was selling the White House today! . . . nt

[Totally Tunsie]

42. Nice schedule...

"Executive Time", then roll into the office at 11:30, break for lunch at 12:30. Tough morning. Then sit on ass and pose for pictures from 1:45 to 3:00. Dinner at 6:45.

The most strenuous thing he did all day was raise his fork. He must be exhausted.

[fierywoman]

12. And -- he's broken way more Commandments than Obama!

[Dem2]

14. Everything this ignoramus does is vindictive or childish

He's the worst in history.

[Initech]

16. Thomas Jefferson is probably rolling in his grave right now.

[2naSalit]

20. Now there's a wall I'd pay to rebuild!!!

[Initech]

24. Amen to that!

[Initech]

15. Well so much for separation of church and state.

[ploppy]

17. I hope someone

invited Betty Bowers!

[2naSalit]

21. No peace for the wicked!!!

Harangue the shit out of them, it's what they do to everyone else.

[Scurrilous]

22. Sounds fun!

[Vinca]

23. Maybe Don's love child will make a surprise appearance.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Well, isn't that special...

[catbyte]

28. "Pastor" Jeffress is a weird, creepy little man. I'm just waiting to see what icky

scandal he'll be involved in. You just know it's coming. Look at him, not to mention how much he kisses Dotard's ass. Yuck.

[catbyte]

30. Meanwhile, Jesus is thinking...

[IMG][/IMG]

[sprinkleeninow]

32. Sorry, not sorry. Disgusting phoney crapola.

This so-called 'pastor' and his ilk make a mockery of Christianity.

[mnhtnbb]

33. Maybe for a special donation

Melania will be modeling in a private room.




I've often wondered whether she was made available to Pooty.

[Dirty Socialist]

34. Trump is there to fill their bank accounts with

Righteous dollar bills. Mo' money, Mo' money, Mo' money!

[Dirty Socialist]

35. Will any evangelist talk to Chump about

His many adulteries, fraud, sedition, and general dishonesty? How many? I'm guessing between 1 and -1.

[Grasswire2]

37. how can they not release the guest list??

There oughta be a law about the White House Log.

Grrrrrr. This infuriates me.

[VOX]

38. They should serve 45 himself as the entree. Stuff an apple in his mouth and dig in!

If far-right evangelicals love him so much, they should find Trump-blubber to be a delicacy.

[keithbvadu2]

39. Will they be celebrating with the same Holy Communion that Donald ridiculed?

Will they be celebrating with the same Holy Communion that Donald ridiculed?

Trump is so devout

[Cha]

40. That Fucking White House is going to have to be

Exorcised when a real President gets Elected.

[workinclasszero]

41. Trump is also the most anti Christ, Evangelicals

Enjoy your dinner with the devil you traitors.
