Voters don’t know “anything about Hillary in terms of religion”, Donald Trump warned a meeting of evangelical leaders on Tuesday.

In a closed-door meeting at Trump Tower, the presumptive Republican nominee talked about his faith and tried to consolidate his support among social conservatives. Trump said of Christianity, “I owe so much to it in so many ways,” while warning darkly about the consequences of electing Hillary Clinton.

“It’s going to be an extension of Obama but worse,” said Trump. “Because, with Obama, you have your guard up and with Hillary you don’t and it’s going to be worse.” Trump also said ominously: “All of your leaders are selling Christianity down the tubes, selling evangelicals down the tubes.”

He loves it so much that he can't bear to tell anyone what's his favourite bit. Because, you know, it's too "personal".
