I suspect he'll go to NY and attend some Presbyterian church on Easter. Would not look good to miss the holiest day of the year.

Related: Does anyone recall reading/seeing him say, early in campaigning/primary time, trump saying, something like he was never really into/engaged in church going/religion? I remember it clearly, but haven't found it since.

https://www.democracynow.org/2016/8/10/donald_doesnt_know_anything_author_david

part of interview;


DAVID CAY JOHNSTON: I did not appreciate, until I worked on the book, that while Donald holds himself out as a devout Christian—"No one reads the Bible more than me"—while he has all these pastors embracing him as a good Christian man, Donald aggressively, thoroughly and at great length, in many forums, denounces Christianity. His personal motto is "always get revenge," whereas the message of Jesus Christ was "turn the other cheek." And these ministers, some of whom I’ve written to and haven’t—they haven’t responded at all—continue to embrace him. And I find it very troubling. Donald has beguiled them with flattery. If they continue, now that my book is out, if they know about it, to do this, they are then deceiving their flocks, and that’s evil. But Donald himself doesn’t care about these things. He will tell you any lie. He can’t quote a single line from the Bible. Not one. And yet he says, "No one reads the Bible more than Donald Trump." If you ask him, "Well, what do you like in the Bible?" "Oh, there’s so many. There’s so many. I just—there are so many, I can’t choose."

Jesus Christ famously said in the New Testament that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24).

1) Spending an exorbitant amount of time on the golfcourse.
2) Doesn't attend church.
3) Has completely turned foreign policy in regard to Russia, on its ear.
4) Has not learned one iota from past foreign debacles and will probably lead us to war.

Biggest problem that Trump has is that GWII's screw-ups are within recent memory.

The Republican party cynically owns the white Fundamentalist and Prosperity Christian churches, and the people in those churches can't see how they are being used.
