Trump's excuse for ‘Two Corinthians’ Flub

[left-of-center2012]

The GOP candidate didn’t do any favors for his already suspect evangelical credentials when he invoked “Two Corinthians” at a Liberty University rally, inspiring dubious laughter from the conservative Christian crowd.
The Second Epistle to the Corinthians (or Second Corinthians) is usually expressed in writing in most editions of the Bible as “2 Corinthians,” though it’s unlikely that someone who calls the Bible his “favorite book” would ever actually pronounce it that way.

(Trump) has compared himself to that titan of American evangelism, Billy Graham.

Trump:
"Tony Perkins wrote that out for me. He ... is a very, very good guy. And he wrote out the number “Two” Corinthians, which I could show you very nicely, if you like."
(Perkins is the current president of the anti-LGBT advocacy group, the Family Research Council, which the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as a hate group)

1. I guess he knows now

Two Corinthians do not make a Doric.

[KamaAina]

3. But they do make a dork.

[HassleCat]

5. Don't blame the Corinthians

Trump did that himself.

[KamaAina]

7. Actually, I was blaming Ricardo Montalban

[KentuckyWoman]

9. Thanks a LOT !!

Now I've got his voice in my head saying it.

LOL

13. Here is something to wipe that clean.

A little bit of Melville at the end.

11. "Lee Ioccoco's dream...fine Cordoba leather..."

[longship]

12. DUzy! nt

[HassleCat]

8. That makes sense

Just as we never quite knew what "fine Corinthian leather" really was, we're not sure about Trump. We know he's a nut, but what kind? And how dangerous?

2. There's no excuse, he's pulling a con and should have done his research.

A good grifter is thorough and he should've known better

4. Now he's claiming that he was actually correct

Incapable of taking responsibility or admitting he was wrong. That's Donald.

But Trump said he has since heard from “a lot of people” who tell him that he was actually correct.

“It’s a very small deal, but a lot of people in different sections of the world say 2, and I’ve had many, many people say to me,” he said.

“My mother, as you know, was from Scotland, and they say 2,” he added.

18. The guy talks to so many, many people

seemingly every day, from Mexicans to Muslims to gawd knows what, including his BFF God, with whom he's on very good terms - and funnily enough, they all absolutely agree with him and say he's right -that it's a wonder he has time to get dressed or go to the john.

6. Most of his supporters are racists

Those who actually care about this are supporting cruz or carson.

10. Party of Personal Responsibility doing their responsibilityin' again nt

[Blue_Tires]

14. I guess this is a bad time to admit

I would have said "two corinthians" as well...

[pokerfan]

22. But I'm going to guess

that, unlike The Donald, the bible isn't your favorite book of all time.

[Initech]

15. Doesn't Two Corinthians sound like a high end celebrity endorsed liquor?

[Atman]

16. Two Corinthians walk into a bar...

You can make up the rest.

21. They appeared to be distraught.

The bartender asked them what was wrong.

They replied:

We do not want you to be uninformed, brother, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Virginia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death.

The bartender interrupted, "How many time did I tell you not to go see that asshole Trump??

[krispos42]

23. And day "ow, shit!"

Of course, the 3rd Corinthian ducked

[onethatcares]

17. I'll see your 2 Corinthians and

raise you 4 proverbs.

[pinboy3niner]

19. 3 Ecclesiastes trumps 4 Proverbs

Turn! Turn! Turnabout! is fair play.

[onethatcares]

20. 1 Genisis and

a couple of Romans beats your hand straight out.
