DONALD ON DONALD: “President Trump has not been seen frequenting church services since his assuming office, but his outward rhetoric on God has changed as of late.
The president and first lady Melania Trump attended Easter service at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Church in Florida on Sunday [4-17-17], making it the fourth official religious appearance for the commander in chief. As people close to the president and outsiders looking in conjecture as to how Trump’s religious views have changed, one man recalls a moment in which he asked Trump whether he believed in God.
‘Donald has never been a spiritually or religiously serious person,’ Timothy O’Brien, author of the Trump biography ‘TrumpNation: The Art of Being Donald’ tells POLITICO.
That statement, though, is in slight contrast to how Trump answered O’Brien’s asking the president whether he believed in God in the mid-2000s.
According to O’Brien’s book, this is how Trump responded: ‘Yes. There has to be a reason we are here. What are we doing? You know there is an expression: *Life is what you do while you’re waiting to die,*’ Trump responded, as O’Brien’s book states. ‘There has to be a reason that we’re going through this. There has to be a reason for everything. I do believe in God. I think there just has to be something that’s far greater than us.’ “
