Trump must think his white Evangelical supporters are easy marks [View all]

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/12/using-christian-faith-as-political-prop.html

Remember Trump's walk across Lafayette Park from the White House to St. John's Church during the protests over the murder of George Floyd? It was to impress his right wing religious supporters and to make him look "spiritual." So, he chose a liberal mainline Protestant church, the kind Evangelicals publicly loathe and criticize, and then posed with a Bible translation, the Revised Standard Version, popular among liberal, mainline Protestants that Evangelicals loathe. So Trump either thinks they're just dumb as a stick or he didn't know the difference and no one told him.

It's worth a laugh.
