"The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there," Mary Trump quotes her aunt




Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, was baffled by support for her brother among evangelical Christians, Mary Trump says.

"The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there," Mary Trump quotes her aunt as saying. "It's mind boggling."
