What Does Trump's Promise Of A Nation 'Under One God' Really Mean?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Trump even has a bible!

" 'One God' immediately excludes Hindus, atheists, Native Americans — whole swaths of people who have a right to be part of the American identity,"

"And under what we've established in this country — the notion that you can have multiple faiths and all still share the same ideal of being American — the campaign is once again just really lopping off support from minorities."

And it's worth noting Trump has been struggling in the polls with minority voters, who could be critical to the outcome in November.

1. It doesn't mean shit. Trump doesn't care about anyone's god. He's merely suckering some rubes

I love watching religious types twist themselves into pretzels, while they rationalize voting for the hedonist.

Trump thinks he's god

If he gets in he'll probably re-name Washington D.C. and the White House.
