Sounds like Trump has been to church less that I have.

In the law there is a phrase “admission by non verbal conduct.” This is as clear an admission that his new found religious fervor is fake as any spoken acknowledgement could be.

At least he didn’t try to piss in it.

My guess is he thought that was the part of the service where rich guys purchased indulgences.

We won’t get into what he tried to do when the communion cup was put in front of him.

Rich guys have to ‘purchase’ indulgences? I thought that was just a perk of being rich.

Reading the headline, I thought Trump had taken money from the collection plate while everyone was preoccupied with taking communion.
It’s been a long day…

Must have been, because he pulled out bills. If he’d pulled coins out, we’d know he was trying to tip the waiter.

“Oh, I thought you had to pay for forgiveness, not pray for it”

Those crackers were delicious. Trump just wanted 2 dozen…

“Confused Trump Pulled Out Money During Communion.”

He thought it was his turn to buy the next round.

Won’t make a difference. These people would vote for a day old ham sammich if you convinced them it was the white person with the best chance of becoming POTUS in 2016.

mantan · February 1, 2016, 4:59pm

If we could get the letters IHS on those crackers replaced with a T or his crest Trump would serve them on his jet…

Hehe…it’s an old practice whereby old rich guy who, let’s say, sleeps with prostitutes or fondles little boys, pays a nice fat donation to the Church and his sins are wiped clean.

everything is about the money when you’re the self-proclaimed ‘world’s best deal maker’… even saving one’s soul…

From the headline, I thought he took money from the collection plate. It didn’t seem that far-fetched.

mantan · February 1, 2016, 5:01pm

One of those crackers with a prawn and some hot sauce…heaven!

tiowally · February 1, 2016, 5:02pm

I’m sure that was his first thought, too.

tflick · February 1, 2016, 5:04pm

That’s exactly what I thought, followed by, “Well, there goes the Catholic vote!”

rudesan · February 1, 2016, 5:04pm

Which is interesting in itself since all you NEED to do is ask for forgiveness.
God knows what’s what regardless.
