Trump went to church and didn't burst into flames. Here's what the Reverend said:

Posted on Twitter by Jim Acosta ✔ @Acosta at 1:00 PM - Mar 18, 2019

Rev. W. Bruce McPherson of St. John's Episcopal where Trump attended service Sunday: "Well perhaps we’re called whenever we overhear or oversee hateful slurs against other people, perhaps we need the holy courage to call them out, because that’s just not us. It’s not easy to confront someone. But I know darned good and well that sometime at work or in the grocery store or dining in a restaurant or even just around the dining room table, someone says something that is just downright offensive and I’m the first one to just let it pass, because I’m a peacemaker. Maybe we shouldn’t be so ready to do that... It takes courage I know. But it’s up to us. Courage is contagious."

I'm not clear on whether the Rev actually said this during his sermon or after.

No matter how much we may question his actual motives, it is good that he did do that.
