Donald ("Suffer unto me the gullible with their cash or credit cards&quot Trump is saying: "Jesus to me is somebody I can think about for security and confidence without having to pay through the nose. He's somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage. You oughta see the posters I had made, Cal; they make Rocky Balboa look like a 90-pound weakling. And because I consider the Christian religion so important, Jesus is somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind without having him sign a non-disclosure agreement."

Above CAPTION based on the interview Trump had with Cal Thomas 6.8.16.:

1. I thought, in the first instance, that this interview was a parody . . .

. . . but apparently not.

It's quite clear to me that Trump is psychologically and/or emotionally unstable, if not outright mentally ill.

More disturbing to me than that is that his supporters (and even those within the GOP whose support for him remains tepid) do not perceive this rather obvious truth.

2. CAPTIONing at DU has traditionally been a creative sport, so

these are not Trump's exact words. CAPTIONers satirize our subjects but at the same time usually try to channel their essence to point out their myopia, racism, hypocrisy, etc.

It this case, I stuck pretty close to Trump's words (they appear near the very end of the transcript at the site linked) but changed some a little bit (for flow) and added others (for sh*ts and giggles).

3. I can't find those quotes at the link, where are they?

4. Last paragraph of transcript.

As I said, they're embellished.

5. So you just made it all up, the last paragraph is fine and not unusual.

CT: Who do you say Jesus is?

DT: Jesus to me is somebody I can think about for security and confidence. Somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage and, because I consider the Christian religion so important, somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind.

6. Yes

It's satire. Like a SNL sketch.
