"Donald Trump may not be a church-going man, but he sure loves to invoke God when it suits his wallet or his ego.

From picking fights with the Pope to profiting off the Bible instead of reading it, Trump has turned faith into farce for his own benefit. The MAGA cult has remained bizarrely loyal to its 'savior' of choice – even as he readily admits he is unlikely to make it into heaven.

9 Times Donald Trump Has Insulted Christians

Trump has depicted himself as Jesus, attacked the Pope, and sold $1,000 Bibles with his signature.

"He has such an inflated perception of himself And he has so many people around him that continue to feed this narcissism and this craziness. I mean, he's got these Paula White and Franklin Graham hustlers that are out there constantly referring to him like Jesus. So why are we surprised that he would put something like this on?"

~ Father Michael Pfleger

Trump Cosplays as Jesus While Sending the World to Hell | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

A recording from The Joy Reid Show's live video

Welcome to Joy's House!

"One thing that I love of what's happening right now is the Pope is not speaking as a political figure or as a politician. What he is doing is quoting the scriptures ans exposing these hustlers like Paula White and Franklin Graham and all the rest of them who have been hijacking the scriptures to pump this guy up and justify all their evil, their wickedness that they've been doing."

"Now the Pope is saying, Now let me tell you what the scriptures really say. And let me just meet you with the scripture. It's not my words. It's not my politics. It's not my policy. I'm just going to hit you with the scriptures. Blessed are the peacemakers, the children of God. Blessed are the meek."

"In a real sense, with Donald Trump, what you have at MAGA is a war on divinity."

"Bernie Moreno on Trump’s comments about the Pope: 'I was incensed to watch the Pope's comments. I think what the Pope is doing is a disgrace.'

'It's a shame that the Pope has made the Catholic Church political. Thank God my mom’s not alive to watch that'.”

~ Eric Michael Garcia

"It's a shame that the Pope has made the Catholic Church political": a line these folks never uttered when John Paul II was pope.

@wdlindsy Students of history will be quick to point out that this is the first and only time the Catholic Church has ever been political.
@Steve Christianitiy is from its foundations political, with its founding figure sentenced to death by the Roman rulers because the message he preached about the kingdom of God and his unusual behavior in crossing social boundary lines were seen as political and threatening revolution.
@wdlindsy @Steve
Pope Francis also confronted him over building walls rather than bridges. He was very direct about how we treated immigrants badly. Catholic priests have provided support for people at the border for decades.
@Scotter @Steve Yes, but Trump hadn't deteriorated mentally to the extent we're now seeing and hadn't begun a hopeless war for no reason at all, one he's clearly itching to continue with Leo standing in the way, at least by his influential moral teaching.
