Trump refuses to name favorite verses from his favorite book, The Bible, because it's very personal

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar

Trump is a shameless BSer. Listen to him pretend that he’s a big fan of the Bible in this clip when he clearly knows nothing about it. It’s an SNL skit come to life.

The Bible and physical labor are two things that FF45 is not familiar with at all.

Something out of Two Corinthians, I think....

He doesn't really know the difference between the Old and New Testaments, either

Ask him "Mr. President, how do you feel about the following passage? "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." (and end with) "then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen. "

I swear, if someone would do that, it would just be so fucking perfect.

I'm betting he would have no idea it was from Monty Python & The Holy Grail and answer as if it was a real bible verse.

"Oh yes, that's one of my favorites!"

Fuck, but that would be so delicious!

The part where Jesus said you should hang millstones around the necks of children so they can suffer?

Or, where it says that they that are naked, homeless and hungry seeketh naught but prestige like the Heathen do, casting their needles like camels in the ocean?

Y'see, his favorite verses are Leviticus 18.22 (thou shalt not have gay sex), Leviticus 20.13 (thou shalt kill anyone you find is having gay sex) and Psalm 137.9 ("happy is he who dashes your babies against a rock&quot . He also really likes the incest stories. But ya know, when you're president of the You-Nited States and you sit there claiming your favorite Bible verse is one that sanctions killing people for no good reason, you come off as a violent psychopath.

Now okay, I'll freely admit that "violent psychopath" is a good description of Trump. But his handlers really don't want to deal with people thinking...
