Whatever it was, we all know it is not something he reads.

as people were speculating on what the book was and Ivanka and Jared being Jewish (she handed him the book from her bag), tRump having shown anti-Semitic tendencies in the past, the fact he's shown no real sign of any allegiance to faith of any kind or reads any religious texts, and that he's standing before a Protestant church that is not aligned with his evangelical base.

All for the grand King tRump TV show after gassing and panicking protesters.....exactly what any cold fascist would do.

A total mockery of all things relating to any religion......

Four policemen work together to effectively murder a black citizen in broad daylight, and they continue to do so as they are filmed. This sparks protests all across the country about police brutality, and the brilliant idea that the Trump administration comes up with is to have both the U.S. Military and the Washington D.C. police terrorize some of the peaceful protesters who were protesting police brutality...and this is how Trump expects to get reelected.

Thank you, Donald Trump, for helping to ensure that tons of African Americans and their allies vote you out in November.

May have imprinted on his mind.

In the movie, Ryan O'Neal is a grifter who cons people into buying Bibles he claims their recently-deceased relatives ordered. The price is exorbitantly high, of course.

Trump tames hostile protestors and disperses crowd peacefully by waving Bible and blessing them.

Seriously. But more seriously I'm still not understanding what they think they will accomplish with the video? Who thought this was a good idea? They've got their fingerprints all over this. It's not going away. They have defined themselves at a point in the campaign when public opinion is most being formed.
