Donald Trump: 'I have a great relationship with God'

Donald Trump spent decades as a premier New York tabloid curiosity, a billionaire real-estate developer whose marital misadventures routinely filled the city's scandal sheets.

But he told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Sunday on "State of the Union" that those wild days are past and that he now enjoys a "very great relationship with God" and "a very great relationship" with the evangelical Christian voters so important to candidates in Iowa.

"I live a very different life than probably a lot of people would think," Trump said. "I'm talking about over the last number of years, I'm leading a very good life. I try to lead a good life and I have. And frankly, (it's) the reason I'm doing so well in Iowa."

Trump, now married to his third wife, Melania, for nearly 11 years, first got hitched in 1977 to another glamorous European model, Ivana Zelnickova. They had three children, including daughter Ivanka, now a successful businesswoman in her own right.

and was given gifts of gold. Surely that qualifies him as a son of God, at least.

and it seems that Trump is making this up.

God assured me that his "relationship with Trump is just so-so.

I was assured that He/She/It doesn't have a "special relationship" with anyone and that those who claim so aren't speaking for Him/Her/It.

So how/why was I granted this phone call? I didn't initiate it. I was called, told that God was on the line and that all I was to do was to listen.

I've passed on only what He/She/It said and nothing more.

The only unusual thing I observed is that God sounded a lot like Alan Rickman. But I can't swear to that.
