(And just for the record, because my mentions are insane: I'm not here for the "Trump's right, religious people are the worst!" tweets. I'm a person of faith, and I have no interest in glibly mocking others' beliefs. Wish that could be said of everyone...) https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
Some Trump apologists are defending him here by drawing distinctions between pastors like Benny Hinn/Creflo Dollar and other, more virtuous religious leaders. That's reasonable! Do you think Trump draws that distinction? ("They're all hustlers," he said.) https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org

@barry I think you might be surprised how many have convinced themselves it's true. — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
It's true Trump's religious supporters are in it—at least partly—for judges, etc. And many concede his lack of piety. But how many know that he's calling their pastors "hustlers," their beliefs "bullsh*t," or (in case of Mormons) mocking their underwear? https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
This is true of many conservative Christian *leaders* who've allied with Trump, but it's slightly more complicated with ordinary believers. Per Pew, white evangelicals are nearly twice as likely as average American to believe Trump is a religious man. https://t.co/AIE7ZZfDNt — PolitiTweet.org

I know the "fake news!" response is a reflex at this point, but the president's apologists may want to pause and consider why the White House didn't dispute any of the details in this story. They pointed, instead, to his "terrific sense of humor." https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org

I've gotta say, "Is Don Jr. interested in converting to Mormonism?" was one of the stranger comment requests I've ever sent. (His spokesman did not respond.) https://t.co/t2eOxdaAkq — PolitiTweet.org

When I asked the White House about these anecdotes, a spokesman touted Trump's record on religious freedom and abortion, then added: “The president is also well known for joking and his terrific sense of humor, which he shares with people of all faiths.” https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
Trump has frequently made fun of Mitt Romney’s faith in private—and was especially vicious when he learned about the religious undergarments worn by many Mormons. “Oh my god,” Cohen said. “How many times did he bring up Mitt Romney and the undergarments" https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
Don Jr. has been so savvy in courting Latter-day Saints—expressing interest in the Church’s history, reading from the Book of Mormon—that he’s left some influential Republicans in the state with the impression that he may want to convert. https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org

Once, years ago, Melania informed Trump that their son was at a playdate with a Jewish girl from his school. “Great,” Trump said to Michael Cohen, who is Jewish. “I’m going to lose another one of my kids to your people.” https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
I obtained a recording of a private meeting Trump had with religious right leaders in 2016. It's pretty revealing (especially when considering that, per Pew, most rank-and-file white evangelicals believe Trump is a religious man). https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr https://t.co/neKwiYlgjP — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
When Trump learned about a megachurch pastor trying to raise $60 million to buy a private jet, he was delighted by the "scam," according to Michael Cohen, and eager to highlight that the pastor was "full of sh*t." "They're all hustlers," Trump said. https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org

Former aides say they’ve heard Trump privately ridicule conservative religious leaders, dismiss faith groups with cartoonish stereotypes, and deride rites and doctrines held sacred by many in his base. My story on what Trump really thinks about religion: https://t.co/T8UyQ5bprr — PolitiTweet.org
