Donald Trump once again showed exactly how little respect he has for the religious movement that treats him like a messiah.
On Sunday, while his supporters gathered for a massive Christian nationalist rally celebrating him and his political movement, Trump skipped the event entirely so he could go golfing instead.
Rather than appearing in person, the president reportedly sent over a recycled video clip of himself awkwardly stumbling through a Bible verse — and viewers quickly noticed it wasn’t even newly recorded. It was the exact same video the White House had already released weeks earlier.
He couldn’t even take a few minutes to film a fresh message for the people worshipping him like a political savior.
That’s the most revealing part of all. Trump’s relationship with his base has increasingly become one-sided humiliation theater: they shower him with loyalty, defend every scandal, excuse every contradiction, and elevate him to near-religious status — while he openly treats them with indifference bordering on contempt.
This is a man who rarely attends church, struggles to discuss basic scripture without sounding confused, sells branded Bibles for profit, and now can’t even interrupt a golf outing to attend his own faith rally.
And still, the devotion only seems to grow stronger.
For all the rhetoric about Christianity, morality, and “saving America,” the movement surrounding Trump increasingly looks less like a religious revival and more like a political cult centered entirely around one man’s ego.
