I deleted the original tweet because what Trump says here is open to interpretation. I think he’s saying “I’m not Christian.” Others think he’s saying “I’m a Christian.”
The case for “not a Christian”
1) in the context of the clip he seems to talk to Christians like they’re an alien community
2) he shakes his head while saying it, like you would when saying “I’m not a Christian.”
This would indicate cognitive decline. Of course we all know Trump isn’t a Christian. I hope that even his cultists won’t deny that. But it may have slipped his mind that he still needs to pretend. I think it’s clear that in the coming years more will slip out regarding what he really thinks about Christianity.
