Trump falls flat on Bible reference as he tries to woo evangelicals at Liberty

“I am a Protestant and I am very proud of it,” Donald Trump told Liberty University, the largest evangelical institution of higher education in the United States, on Monday, as he attempted to appeal to this key demographic in the Republican primary.
The GOP frontrunner also told the crowd that if he is elected, “every store will have to say Merry Christmas”. But a biblical reference fell flat when he introduced a passage from 2 Corinthians as “Two Corinthians” rather than “Second Corinthians.”
Other than this, Trump did not seem to tailor his address to the crowd of clean-cut Christian students. Instead, the real estate mogul talked about his poll numbers and discussed his desire to build a wall on the Mexican border, which he claims that Mexico will pay for.
