On Monday, Right Wing Watch posted an audio clip of former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) gushing on a recent radio interview about President Donald Trump as the perfect Christian president.
In my lifetime, I have never seen a more biblical president than I have seen in Donald Trump, said Bachmann, crediting him for his hardline policy on Israel. We will, in all likelihood, never see a more godly, biblical president again in our lifetimes.
. . .
Bachmanns comments drew instant derision and ridicule from Twitter, as many users pointed out the ways in which Trump has failed to serve as a biblical role model of anything:

(10,252 posts)"It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive any thing more destructive to morality than this?"
