Let’s be clear. Trump said it. “Nobody loves the Bible more than I do.” I should not be surprised. Trump’s artless trifling comments are as frequent as his chaotic tweets. I have dutifully withheld from trash-talking Trump but today, while unsurprised, I am repelled by this man’s bumptiousness. Since we began listening to him three years ago, he has told us, “No one is more conservative than me.” “No one is stronger on the Second Amendment than me.” “No one respects women more than me. No one reads the Bible more than me.” “There’s nobody who feels more strongly about women’s health issues than I do.” “There’s nobody more pro-Israel than I am.” “There’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have.” “Nobody knows more about taxes than me, maybe in the history of the world.” “I know more about infrastructure than anyone, maybe in the history of this country.” “I have studied the Iran deal in great detail, greater by far than anyone else.” “Nobody’s ever been more successful than me.” “Nobody knows banking better than I do.” “Nobody knows more about debt than I do.” “Nobody’s bigger or better at the military than I am.” “I am the least racist person you’ll ever meet.” “Nobody knows the system better than me.” “Nobody knows politicians better than me.” “Nobody builds better walls than me.” “Nobody knows more about trade than me.” “There is nobody more against Obamacare than me.” “No one is more pro-veterans than I am.” – So, you’ll excuse me won’t you when I tell you that I don’t believe his first statement.
