How much did trump donate to his church?

Surely, a person who would physically clear out a crowd of protesters in order to have a photo op of himself holding a bible upside down, like a fucking jackass, would have made a considerable donation to his church.

Right?

people normally tithe 10% of their income to their Church. Trump lost so much money every year the Church owes him money.

Every cent he ever earned.

The photo-op church, St. John's Episcopal, wasn't even his church - he never went to any church except when required for PR purposes - and you can be absolutely certain he never donated a nickel to them. They weren't too crazy about him, either. https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2020/06/03/church-trump-bible-protesters/

7. We saw how uncomfortable he was inside a church at George H.W. Bush's funeral

Former presidents and First Ladies sat quietly while he wandered aimlessly, it was obvious that he had no idea how to behave.

9. If I thought he believed in any god other than himself, I'd have assumed he was worried

about some sort of smiting. But it was probably just discomfort at the fact that people were paying attention to someone other than him while worshiping someone other than him.

13. There was also that embarrassing appearance at the very church across from the White House

When he gassed the church staff to make way for his photo op in front of the church holding a Bible upside down. As you said, the only "worship" that he subscribes to is money - and himself. Why those who claim to be "religious" give him the time of day is a total mystery to me...

18. Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

They support Trump who says he is so perfect that he does not need Christ or his forgiveness.

Like today's evangelical/religious right supporters, Trump is a Political Christian, not a Christian of faith.

Evangelicals/religious right are easily able to spin their beliefs for political expediency.

The Donald who does not have to ask Jesus for forgiveness.

The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion.

Trump: Drink my little wine, have my little cracker

him standing there having his picture taken holding a bible. Pathetic, sad excuse of a man, much less a President of the United States. That there is even one person left standing in this country who still supports this POS is a fucking indictment of how stupid his supporters are. But I guess if his performance in Helsinki fellating Putin didn’t make them abandon him nothing else would.

To think that picture will someday go into our American History books. That there were Americans actually stupid enough to vote for this person.
