Trump detests Christians — and he deceived pastors and mocked them after they left Trump Tower: Michael Cohen’s ‘Disloyal’

By David Cay Johnston, DC Report @ Raw Story
September 8, 2020

Michael Cohen’s book about his years as Donald Trump’s fixer is a clarion call to Christians to wake up and recognize that the man many of them revere as a heavenly agent is a religious fraud who loathes them and mocks their faith.

In Disloyal, published today, Cohen shows how Trump is a master deceiver. He quotes Trump calling Christianity and its religious practices “bullshit,” soon after he masterfully posed as a fervent believer. In truth, Cohen writes, Trump’s religion is unbridled lust for money and power at any cost to others.

“Can you believe that people believe that bullshit,” Trump said after pastors prayed over him.

Cohen’s insider stories add significant depth to my own documenting of Trump’s repeated and public denouncements of Christians as “fools,” “idiots,” and “schmucks.”

In extensive writing and speeches, Trump has declared that his life philosophy is “revenge.” That stance is aggressively anti-Christian. So are Trump’s often publicly expressed desires to violently attack others, mostly women, and his many remarks that he derives pleasure from ruining the lives of people over such minor matters as declining to do him a favor.

5. willing suspension of disbelief...

Quelle surprise!!


Is anyone shocked by this in the slightest? Like he had to spell it out???

Choosing to believe fiction is one thing. Choosing to believe fiction is reality is a whole other set of psychoses.

6. Willing suspension of disbelief is fine when you are...

...going to a movie.

Not so much as a way to live your real life.

I remained astounded that Cadet Bonespurs is revered by religious people. Makes NO sense.
