Trump claims Biden is 'against God' and will 'hurt the Bible'

[highplainsdem]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Thursday claimed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic, is "against God" as he levied a stream of attacks on his likely opponent in the November election.

Trump painted a grim picture of a Biden presidency during a rally-style speech to supporters on the tarmac of the Cleveland airport, claiming the former vice president would follow a radical agenda.

"Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything," Trump said, standing behind a podium with the presidential seal. "Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy."

Last week in Texas, Trump baselessly claimed the "radical left" aimed to "wipe away every trace of religion from national life."

Here's a tweet from The Hill with a two-minute video clip from that part of the speech, but the tweets you'll find in the GD topic have better audio quality.

1. And by 'God', of course, I mean 'Trump'

Like this f*** has ever picked up a Bible for anything other than to use as a prop ... such a phony POS.

[moonscape]

2. The only positive in his insanity is that the

crazier he talks, the more it becomes just noise to voters. I don't think there's much he can say about Biden that would stick with anyone except his die-hards

[vlyons]

3. Someone must have told him that his polls with Evangelicals has gone down.

So crank up the fear-mongering machine.

[ashredux]

4. Well, I always figured Biden was a closet Satanist. Did you?

Trump is actually losing it right in front of us. I hope we can make it until January

[lagomorph777]

15. No, I don't think Biden worships Trump.

[ashredux]

17. Touch.....

[George II]

5. This is the moax who had his Gestapo tear gas and club innocent people to clear the way to....

....a church he's never been seen inside just so he could stand out front holding a Holy Bible upside down!

[C_U_L8R]

6. What a daffy dumbass.

He just looks desperate, flailing for any line of attack that might stick.
The fool doesn't even have a platform of his own to run on.

[calguy]

7. Sounds like a very desperate man talking

Has no positives of his own to sell. Only left with snake oils.

[BootinUp]

8. Up the meds somebody. Nt

[RKP5637]

31. Time for an IV. n/t

[BootinUp]

39. A speechless stupor would be an improvement. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Trump is against Science, Public Health, Universal Voting Rights, and America

He's just the Devil spouting jibberish at this point

[Ilsa]

29. Don't forget Women, and Islam. Now I think

we can add children to the list. He doesn't care if they get sick as long as the economy rallies.

[PSPS]

10. Most people have tuned out his gibberish noise by now. Well, except for The Hill.

[maxsolomon]

11. At what point to his supporters start to roll their eyes at this hyperbolic bullshit?

Now? Never?

[ananda]

12. Can't wait for How to God

LOL

[ZenDem]

13. Debates...

How the hell is Joe Biden going to have a logical debate with this batshit loon?
I know one thing for certain. It will be obvious who the sane adult is on stage.

I'm not sure if I'm more excited to find out the VP pick or for the debates.

[badhair77]

24. I'm guessing at some point in the debate he'll say,

“How am I supposed to have a logical debate with you? You’re a batshit loon.” Or something to that effect. I’d watch just for that. He won’t hold back like Hillary did when trump was prowling behind her. I hope trump is wearing his diaper; he might wet his pants under pressure.

[ZenDem]

34. Yep.

I see him just turning to Trump and saying, "What?!" just before he busts out laughing his ass off, can't answer anymore questions, all future debates cancelled.

And, we then have Pres. Joe Biden because the whole country (the sane part) laughed with him.

[Brainfodder]

14. Awaiting.....VOTE FOR ME OR YOU ARE GOING TO HELL!

This stupidity virus just COME ON MAN!

I know, it can't be fixed.

[Efilroft Sul]

16. So says the worshipper of Mammon.

[keithbvadu2]

25. Mammon / Moloch - The Trump/GOP Gods

Mammon / Moloch - The Trump/GOP Gods

[duforsure]

18. Once again accusing others of what he's doing

He isn't a christian, he believes in satin, just like he isn't a republican, he's a fascist.

[RKP5637]

32. He's a master at Psychological Projection. You can read him like a book. n/t

[C Moon]

19. Abortion is next. He's pulling out all the old tried-and-true GOP election time lies and rhetoric.

My guess is Putin's telling him he's probably going to lose.

[badhair77]

20. trump has no idea what is in the Bible nor has he any understanding of the teachings of Christ.

He has run over every commandment and then backed up and spun his wheels on them.

My friend lives in Charleston and attends Sat evening mass and one week Joe Biden, post VP but not yet a presidential candidate, came in and sat in front of her. Very unassuming, very reverent. His faith is genuine. Hardly a man against God.

[Thekaspervote]

21. How does one hurt a book? Does he mean burn it, cut it up..come on guy "hurt it?" Really

[smb]

22. Jeez -- More Batshit Than The Sewer Pipes Under Stately Wayne Manor! nt

[iluvtennis]

26. The one who says "Too Corinthians" and "holds a bible upside down" is questioning someone else's

faith. The illegal occupant really needs to zip his lips.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Trumps in Lafayette Park blasphemed the Bible and hurt actual humans

Today's speech is another stunt to deflect attention - projection!

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. He's getting obsessed with tying religion and guns together. Quite fascist (nt)

[maxsolomon]

30. And Energy.

Don't forget that. Biden hates ENERGY.

[forgotmylogin]

33. I guess it's lost on most rightwingers that "separation of Church and State" is to protect both. n/t

[sarcasmo]

35. This is hilarious because Trump is all seven deadly sins wrapped into one.

[Nexus2]

40. Like a Sin homewrecker burrito?

[Skittles]

36. LOLOL

so sayeth the fascist, pussy grabbing con man

[Yeehah]

37. They never show the crowd in that clip

Sounded like about 40 people.

38. Giving the preachers their Sunday sermon talking points.
