There's the story of how Trump met with the pastors of two major Presbyterian churches in New York. “I did very, very well with evangelicals in the polls,” he bragged. When the pastors told Trump they weren’t evangelicals, he demanded to know, “What are you then?” They told him they were mainline Presbyterians. “But you’re all Christians?” he asked. Yes, they had to assure him, Presbyterians are Christians. The kicker: Trump himself is Presbyterian.
He doesn’t read books or even long articles. “I never have,” he told a reporter last year. “I’m always busy doing a lot.” As president, Trump’s intelligence briefings have been dumbed down and loaded with maps and pictures because he can’t be bothered to read a lot of words. He’d rather play golf.
After nine months in office, Trump has given no indication that he has the capacity to be president.
