Bill, there was a documentary on TV a few moths ago that claimed the young Donald was exposed early on to the preaching of Norman V. Peale.  I'm pretty sure Peale had no connection to the Presbyterian church, but was more aligned with the Reformed Church of America or the Dutch Reformed Church.

Do you know if the information, above, about Trump's early religious association is correct?   If it is, Trump's adherence to a "gospel of prosperity" follows logically from that association.  While Peale didn't invent that notion, he was certainly an ardent proponent.
