So is Trump a god-botherer or no?
No.
White House Faith Advisor Paula White-Cain’s attempt to rehabilitate the president’s religious image during a Fox News appearance backfired spectacularly Saturday night, triggering a wave of mockery after claiming he attended Saturday and Sunday school up to three times a week as a child.
Also, even if he had attended goddy school as a child, that wouldn’t establish that he’s goddy now. I was dragged to church a few times as a child and I hated every second of it. It didn’t make me religious.
White-Cain made the claim during a conversation with Laura Trump, telling Fox viewers that “many people don’t know about the upbringing of President Trump” before adding that he “went to, sometimes, three times a week to, he said, depending on the teacher, to Saturday school, Sunday school, church.”
“Church was a big part of his life,” she insisted.
Church can be a big part of your life in childhood and teach you to dislike religion. Some people change as they get older. Life is complicated.
Trump has leaned heavily into religious imagery during his second term, frequently invoking God’s blessing and surrounding himself with evangelical allies like White-Cain.
Trump has leaned heavily into a lot of things. He’s an eclectic kind of guy, or to put it another way, he’s random.
