It’s SO weird that Barack Obama (the “Muslim”) knew all the words to the Apostles’ Creed, and Donald Trump (the Evangelical hero) didn’t know any of them, and didn’t even bother to read them.
Footage from the event shows much of the church, including the former presidents seated with Trump, standing to recite the profession of faith.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump stood, but did not recite the prayer, which was written in the program, nor did they sing the hymns.
As Mediaite's John Ziegler put it:
How is it possible to still support the President after that interaction with all the other Presidents who were all seen to smile and interact with each other warmly. You felt the cold come into the room when Trump walked in just by watching the video. Trump had to sit down next to the man he called is an illegitimate President who wasn't born here and a former first lady he said should be thrown in jail. And a President he called a rapist.
Every President Recited This Prayer Except Trump, And People Definitely Noticed
Can you imagine if this was the Kenyan Muslim who did this? Trump Fan Nation would be screaming like scorched cats about how this proves he isn't a Christian.
Trump is no Christian, and it's pathetic and inexplicable that the Evangelicals believe he is. Then again, 1000 people in Guyana drank cyanide-laced Kool-Aid because they believed Jim Jones was the next coming of Christ, so I guess in a cult, nothing should surprise us.
Apollo Creed? Apostles' Creed? Trump wouldn't know the difference.

EDIT: He also didn't put his hand over his heart.
Just a quick question here. What do you expect evangelicals to do? To become instant Democrats? That's not going to happen. For quite a lot of evangelicals, they view the Democratic Party as out to destroy their religion, to make them all atheist. Sure, you have Trump who is far from an ideal president, whose character and personality in a lot of ways is quite contrary to what evangelicals would like or even support. But they aren't leaving him. For most of them the alternative of non-support for Trump is support for a party trying to destroy their religious beliefs.
It's the lesser of two evils syndrome.

You didn't ask me, but I'll answer that.
I expect Evangelicals to put their money where their mouths are. They preach family values, the sanctity of marriage, love of God and family and all that, and then support Trump? No. They are either frauds, or they are hypocrites.
In the real world, the good world that existed before Trump, the Evangelicals would call him out. They would not support him.
Democrats aren't trying o destroy anyone's religious beliefs, Pero. Not even close. And that comment is coming from someone who voted for every Republican candidate between 1980 and 2018.
Maybe just admit what they believe which you pointed out, is very, very wrong. One can hope...
One can hope, but I highly doubt it will ever happen.
Pretty thin and about as illogical as it gets. Dems don't give a rats behind about Evangelists. They could sprout up in their corn fields to perpetuity for all Dems care. The simple truth of it is that some Evangelists are bound and determined to drive religion into secular society with the business end of a flaming cross and I do mean that with all of the optics that a flaming cross implies.
All Evangelists need to do to live in peace is stop their save the world with Evangelism nonsense. What parts of the world that are interested will come to them, not the other way round. Its Evangelists that have decided to go on this Judge and Justice war path as part of their effort to remake the country to be something its not and was never intended to be.
I'm just pointing out how many feel. That feeling that the Democrats have been trying to destroy their religion goes back to taking prayer out of schools, taking Christmas decorations out of city hall, taking the ten commandments down from court houses and more. Abortion is huge, the killing of innocent babies by the Democrats or at least their backing of it. Here recently you have the Democrats siding with the Muslims over Christians when it comes to the Syrian refugees etc.
A good friend of mine whom served with me in Laos is just about as Evangelical as one can get. The above would come straight out of his mouth why he considers the Democrats as attempting to destroy his religion. Of course he would have added a hundred more examples. He views his religion under attack by anyone with a D next to his name.
I don't want prayer in school, and I'm not trying to destroy anyone's religious beliefs. I think everyone should be free to believe as they choose, and worship as they choose, and pray as they choose. What do public schools have to do with that?
I don't need to see The Ten Commandments in City Hall or a court house, any more than I need to see the Koran or verses from the Book of Mormon or Wiccan spells. Those are governmental buildings, not houses of worship.
Trump was a vocal pro-choicer for decades, up to and including partial birth abortion. If the Evangelicals don't know that, they're stupider than I thought.
Syrian refugees? What do they have to do with Trump not being religious at all, and the Evangelicals putting their support behind him?
The Democrats, who I have opposed since the day I was eligible to vote, have done absolutely nothing to destroy anyone's religion.
I expect supposed people of faith to say no we can't support this and support someone else that stands for their beliefs. I expect them to know a wolf on sheeps clothing or a devil in disguise.
No I don't expect them to be Democrats actually don't want them to but they shouldn't condone and excuse all the things they say they are against.
There shouldn't be a lesser of 2 evils there should be no support for any evil.
Just my 2 cents.
Right. In fact, prayer is still in public school, it just cannot be teacher or school-led prayer.
