Trump went to church this morning

John Fea   |  October 18, 2020

Trump visited the International Church of Las Vegas in Nevada.

It looks like the focus of the service was on Jesus. 😉

It looks like Trump dropped a wad of $20.00 bills into the offering bucket.

Here is some live-tweeting from Religion News Service reporter Jack Jenkins:

Pastor Marc Goulet says, "I don't care what anyone says—I love my president."

Later his wife, Pastor Denise Goulet, recounts a story of Trump asking her during his last visit to the church if she enjoys what she does.

FWIW: As mentioned earlier, Biden also attended church this morning at St. Joseph’s — as he often does — where pool reporters spotted him visiting his son’s grave.

Here is coverage of the event from the Associated Press:

With Trump seated in the front row at the nondenominational International Church of Las Vegas, the senior associate pastor, Denise Goulet, said God told her the president is the apple of his eye and would secure a second term.

“At 4:30, the Lord said to me, ‘I am going to give your president a second win,’” she said, telling Trump, “you will be the president again.”

Trump offered brief remarks, saying “I love going to churches” and that it was “a great honor” to attend the service. The president also said that “we have a group on the other side that doesn’t agree with us,” and he urged people to “get out there on Nov. 3 or sooner” to vote. He dropped a wad of $20 bills in the collection plate before leaving.

Despite the pandemic, there were no efforts to social distance or limit singing, which health officials classify as a high-risk activity. Few attendees wore masks inside the church.
