The most inevitable grift: Donald Trump wants you to pay to pray with him........

 It seems that Donald Trump is tired of reading and hearing that he doesn't go to church.

So, in order to silence the doubters, he's decided he'll attend a service somewhere next month, right around the time of his inauguration, which, oh, by the way, is also Martin Luther King Day, but, there's a catch.

If you want to sit with the incoming president and wife Melania, it's going to cost you.

Farron Cousins explains this latest scam.


Trump won't exactly burst into flames as Farron suggests, but it's all a con with Trump, who delights in enriching himself at the expense of his gullible base.

As Farron noted, there is a passage in the Gospel of Matthew in which Jesus ran off the money changers in the temple. Chapter 21, verses 12-13, from the New King James Bible:

12 Then Jesus went into the temple [d]of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ 

What would He do, then, with a 78 year old grifter? Your guess is as good as mine.

Jesus would deal with Trump as well. And these fake Christians would want him executed.
