President Trump Promotes Book by ‘Wonderful’ Pastor Who Says Satan Founded the Catholic Church
"Innocence of Muslims Full Video 2015 [sic - 2012]"
The president called him ‘wonderful.’ But among Catholics, Mormons, gays, Tim Tebow, and people who don’t think that abortion caused 9/11, Robert Jeffress isn’t so beloved.

Despite past claims that he has “very little time” for watching television, President Donald Trump’s well-documented cable-news crapulence is a frequent catalyst for spur-of-the-moment tweetstorms—typically heavy in self-praise and heavier in schoolyard taunts.
On Friday evening, however, the president took a break from backdoor bragging to promote the important work being done by another American: a virulently anti-Catholic pastor who said something nice about him on television.
In a tweet, Trump lauded A Place Called Heaven: 10 Surprising Truths About Your Eternal Home, the newest book by evangelical megapastor Dr. Robert Jeffress, roughly one hour after Jeffress appeared on Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs Tonight to defend the president’s feud with Rep. Frederica Wilson.
“What President Trump said to this widow was absolutely appropriate,” said Jeffress, who serves as pastor of the 12,000-parishioner First Baptist Church in Dallas.

The White House did not return a request for comment on when the president read A Place Called Heaven, which markets itself as detailing what a person might expect when they arrive in the afterlife, or who had recommended the book. Trump once predicted .. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-heaven-president-pastors-226923 .. that the only way he would get into Heaven would be if he won the presidency.

LOLOL. That's gotta go down as one of Trump's most fanciful and imaginative comments.

Trump's Celebration of an Exclusionary Vision of Freedom
The president appeared at the Kennedy Center with Robert Jeffress—an evangelical leader with whom he’s bound by a shared antipathy to Muslims.

..[add excerpt here]..
What values, after all, do Trump and Jeffress share? Not a commitment to marital fidelity. Not a commitment to honesty, charity, or humility. The value that unites them, above all—the one that led Jeffress to favor Trump over his more devout, more socially conservative Republican rivals during the primaries—is their shared belief that the American government should favor Christianity over Islam. That’s the odd form of “freedom” they celebrated together at the Kennedy Center on Saturday night.

Of course to many of Trump's supporters he has open slather for one good (to them) reason. "God chose him".
Who in our relatively well educated and enlightened world could possibly argue with that, eh.
