The Bible was Backwards and Upside Down; Think About that for a Minute

[Skraxx]

This was a PLANNED phot op. Maybe planned last minute (the church is pissed, they weren't asked permission), but planned. So planned that they teargassed people to clear the way.

The moment that EVERY one in his admin knew would be seen across the world, he holds the bible upside down and backwards.

Think about that. Either he KNEW and did it anyway (a coded signal/end times/religious nutbag sign?). Or he was too stupid to know, and NO ONE in his admin TOLD HIM.

Either way, it's bad, on multiple levels. I know, it may seem petty, but still.

1. Too stupid for a planned photo-op but you left out one option

He was frightened, scared out of his mind. He is a coward

[Paladin]

2. Why should he be expected to hold a Bible correctly?

He's far-and-away the least religious president in this country's history. Self-worship is all he practices.

3. I posted about this yesterday.

And he looked at it first before holding it up. He's a real treat.
Putin told him in their morning call yesterday--"Donald, you must show some toughness
after your bunker misstep. Call out the army, give a mean speech, then go hold up a bible
in front of a church." "Okay sir."

4. Well, the stars ARE upside down on the Republican Elephant.

Maybe there's a connection?

6. Greed Over People, that's the connection. . . . nt

5. I noticed that same thing right away

[Nonhlanhla]

7. Seems appropriate in his case. nt

8. I am haven't spent a minute thinking

'Does he know which end of a book is up?'

I have been too appalled that he ordered an attack on a peaceful protest and is threatening to send the military into states over the objection of the Governors.

Once I process those facts I will devote a minute or maybe even two towards his ability to hold a book correctly.

9. The Posed Picture Of Him Holding The Bible Looks....

like the pics of people that are uncomfortable when a camera is aimed at them. Looks like pics of kids that hate to get their picture taken. He's looks very stiff and uncomfortable in that shot.

He's so vain - I would think he'd not want that picture being shown because he looks so awkward in it.

12. I know!

Trump is usually so image-conscious - to him, the way things look is paramount. I am amazed he allowed that photo to go out. On the other hand, maybe he THOUGHT he looked fantastic. That's the scary thing - we all look at Trump and see the orange-faced fuck that he is. When Trump looks in a mirror, he sees a combination of the hunk on the cover of a romance novel, Rambo, and a 70s porn star.

10. fitting

Backwards and upside down describe the trump misadministration

[DBoon]

11. had to be

the bible would have burst into flames otherwise

[stopbush]

13. For all the bullshit that's in the Buy-bull, I guess that orientation

would make the contents right side up?

[Greybnk48]

14. He has neurological issues. Just like he almost couldn't hold hands with leaders at one of

the Asian summits.

15. No proof it was even a bible

[Midnight Writer]

16. I don't think the man can see, and he is too vain to wear glasses. My long held theory.

17. Kind of like the antichrists upside down cross.
