Grandpa Dum Dum doesn't know any of the words to The Lord's Prayer.

1. Who could have ever imagined that.

I’m not a Christian and I know at least a couple of versions. Obviously he never went to church or Sunday school as a kid. It should be really embarrassing for the MAGATs but I doubt if even 25 are appalled by this.

8. Trump's father, Fred, was a big fan of Norman Vincent Peale,

and his philosophy of the power of positive thinking. The Trumps attended his church when little Donnie Dumbfuck was growing up, but obviously he wasn’t paying attention.

[Biophilic]

13. Geese, you're kidding.

How on earth did he ever get through even one year without having to recite it forever. On the other hand maybe Norman Vincent Peale didn’t do that kind of thing. Don’t know. But both the Congregationalist and the Unitarians as well as the camp chaplains/church services did. Must be I lived in a different universe than trump. Still wish I did.

[Aristus]

31. I can't remember who said it, but a politician once contrasted

his Christian faith with the motivational drivel of Peale. His remark was the brilliant: “I find the Apostle Paul appealing, and the Apostle Peale appalling.”

36. I could say the Lord's Prayer in my sleep.

I don't remember "learning" it; I think I must have just absorbed it from hearing it and then saying it all those times in church.

If I'm ever in a Catholic Church (which I haven't been since my fil's funeral over 20 years ago), I always have to remind myself to stop after "Deliver us from evil." I forgot a couple of times, and it was embarrassing.

I don't know why Catholics don't include "for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever." That was always my favorite part, as a kid. Ah, childhood memories.

37. At some point, they evidently attended a Presbyterian Church.

A while back, I stumbled across this photo of his confirmation class at First Presbyterian in Jamaica, Queens:



Can you guess which one is TSF? I think it's pretty obvious, but I'll put the answer in a reply, just case.

[ShazzieB]

38. Where's Donald?

Back row, second from the right.

[Captain Zero]

40. He was probably just there for the picture.

I wouldn't bet money on him attending more than half the classes.

Cub Scouts and Cathechism classes are where I first learned about 'participation' awards.

Mainly because I was the kid who was there all the time and did all the work, but that really wasn't necessary to be there on picture day.

[rsdsharp]

41. I'm sure Donnie loved having to stand next to the black kid.

[bluestarone]

2. The normal person would think God would

Help THE CHOSEN ONE?

[Talitha]

3. Is he the same way with our National Anthem?

[Otto_Harper]

9. You mean the one that starts

Jose, Can you see?

[JoseBalow]

11. Si

[PJMcK]

33. You've got it wrong!

Our national anthem begins with, “Uh, oh.”

[tanyev]

4. "They should be praying to ME!"

[IcyPeas]

5. Impossible! He wrote The Lord's Prayer...

Donchaknow

[tanyev]

12. I'm Donald, Who art in Mar a Lago,

Hallowed be my name.
My kingdom come,
My will be done, in the U.S. and all over the earth.

[StarryNite]

39. You forgot the "amen" at the end.

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. A shame that there isn't a higher resolution video of this "moment".

Obviously has made no effort to learn a few prayers or a few Bible verses. The lateral twisting well protecting the family jewels was interesting.

[DemocraticPatriot]

16. He's probably afraid that some woman he sexually assaulted is

going to show up and kick him in the balls!!!!

[central scrutinizer]

21. Clearly bored and impatient

“When will this end so the focus is back on ME!”

[Dave says]

7. This almost looks like a fake AI video?

[marble falls]

23. Do you think the "real" TFG knows the words to the Lord's Prayer?

[Dave says]

25. Absolutely not

The orange flim-flam only read Hitler’s speeches at his bedside.

[somaticexperiencing]

10. He just can't say them or he'll turn red, sprout horns and a forked tail. Perhaps even belch fire.

[DET]

14. How can you forget the Lord's Prayer?

It was drummed into me incessantly as a kid. Once you learn it, you never forget it. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if he just refused to learn it.

[BlueKota]

20. I can say the Our Father, The Hail Mary, and the Glory Be,

and the Act of Contrition. I just can't remember what I enter a room for sometimes.

[marble falls]

24. Difference being: TFG never learned a prayer in his life. You did.

[DemocraticPatriot]

15. Well, we know he was outside of one, once, holding a Bible upside down....

"It's almost as if he's never been to church before."

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Who is surprised by this?

[LudwigPastorius]

18. Why would he need to pray to himself?

(Only in his own mind, of course)

[liberal N proud]

19. It would be bigger surprise if he did.

The MAGA idiots have no clue how badly he has duped them.

[marble falls]

22. It does my heart good to see him as uncomfortable as he seems to be in the video. Of course if he did know the ...

... the words and said them out loud, he'd have been struck by lightening.

[cloudbase]

26. You mean the one in Two Corinthians?

[PatSeg]

27. I'm sure he can count the times

he has been to church and still have a few fingers left over.

Of course, he doesn't know the Lord's Prayer, which would be fine, if he wasn't such a damn hypocrite.

[vapor2]

28. Is anyone surprised that lightning hasn't struck???

[Drum]

29. I think he's just murmuring "I don't give a fuck" over and over.

[sakabatou]

30. I don't know it either, but I grew up in a different religion

[Firestorm49]

32. But he could probably recite the entire Mein Kampf.

[woodsprite]

34. He's professes to be a church-going Presbyterian right?

He should at least be able to recite The Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles’ Creed, Psalm 23, and possibly parts of The Westminster Catechism.

[Rocknation]

35. In order to earn a bible from my Presbyterian church, I had to learn and recite

Last edited Tue Apr 2, 2024, 08:52 AM - Edit history (1)

The Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles’ Creed, Psalm 100, and Psalm 23. And did I mention that I was in fourth grade at the time?

[COL Mustard]

42. I think he thinks

They're praying to him. That's what it looks like.
