      His sleepy followers will believe anything. If we are the woke then they are the comatose.

    I honestly think if he took his shirt off it would cost him the election.

    Seeing the flabby, 78-year-old American physique in all its glory would be both a literal and figurative “emperor has no clothes” moment for many of his cultists.

    We need to bait him into rallying in a liberal city. We could all show up and pretend to take him seriously and just wait for him to say something insane like this.

    Then we could just yes-man him into doing embarrassing stuff. Hell yeah Mr. President, show us your beautiful wounded body. Take that shirt off. Do us a little dance. Jump up and down or something. C’mon, do a little fat man dance.

      “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

      It’s basically a cognitive dissonance conference.

        You have also managed to successfully describe attending religious services.

      They’ll believe whatever suits them to prop up their delusional world view. And they’ll refuse to acknowledge any facts that contradict it.

      Can you actually find anyone who believes it literally? Honest question. I just watched the video, and it seems to me that he is saying it figuratively and not literally.

        Coach is saying that these people actually believe that he has been “defending religion”, not that they believe that he has literal wounds all over his body from it.

        You seem to be the one taking things a bit too literally.

          Truthfully, I believe there are “fine [yet moronic] people on both sides” of this thing. Religions seem to serve both hypocrites and idiots alike.

          His quote will sell lots of T-shirts, either way.

    Like when he held a bible upside down in a photo op in front of a church after having things clear protestors out?

    Much defence

    Wow

    My word, this guy is so ridiculous. What a world we live in where it is THIS dumbass that may slither into office, again. Then again, Hitler was a total idiot, too.
