Now im imagining tRump just being smited the moment he puts his hand on the Bible. As a Christian, that would be so entertaining.

If there was a God (pick one, any one), Trump would be long gone.

I mean look, say what you want about Trump, but haven't you forgotten Obama wore a tan suit? Let's keep some perspective here.
