Does Trump Need Jesus?

I'm thinking of this in strategic sense, not really religious.

He needs to get some of his many religious fanatic followers to meet with him and pray so that he accepts Jesus Christ as his personal savior.

A come-to-Jesus moment might be the only way for him to bounce back. He has no conscience it seems so he would fake a conversion with no qualms. Either Wikileaks will have to get something really bad on Clinton or Trump can get saved. Both would give him a real shot.

A for-real conversion would require humility; since Trump is a sociopath and a narcissist he won't be able to manage humility. And a fake conversion at this point wouldn't be believed by anybody.

Trump's sins won't fit through the eye of that needle. I'm so sad that so many Christians have embraced and excused Trump. I hope the scales fall from their eyes soon.

James Dobson said in August that Trump had accepted “a relationship with Christ” and “really made a commitment, but he’s a baby Christian.”

"Some of the mainstream media jumped on Dobson’s comments, leading him to point to controversial televangelist Paula White as the source of the potential “born again” incident. In an interview with Trump, Mike Huckabee also referred to the close relationship between White and Trump, calling her his 'spiritual counselor and advisor.'”

And Paula White says:
“I can absolutely tell you that Mr. Trump has a relationship with God. He is a Christian, he accepts Jesus as his Lord and savior,” White said in a rare interview with POLITICO, reflecting on a relationship with the New York tycoon that has now spanned more than 14 years.
